“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” (9:111) Many Islamic scholars, including Qaradawi, have justified jihad-martyrdom suicide bombing by saying it is not suicide, but an attempt to kill and be killed for Allah.
The number seventy-two for the virgins of Paradise comes from the Hadith: “None is made to enter Paradise by Allah Most High except Allah Most High shall marry him to seventy-two wives, two of them from the wide-eyed maidens of Paradise and seventy of them his inheritance from the People of Hellfire, not one of them but her attraction never lags nor his arousal ever wanes.” (Ibn Majah; Ibn Adi’s Kamil; al-Bayhaqi’s al-Ba`th wal-Nushur)
“The Prophet said: ‘The believer will be given tremendous strength in Paradise for sexual intercourse’. It was questioned: ‘O prophet of Allah! can he do that?’ He said: ‘He will be given the strength of one hundred persons.’” (Tirmidhi 2536)
“Perks of martyrdom called irresistible for ax-wielding Palestinian bachelor,” WorldTribune.com, April 17, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Palestinian man recently shot and killed by Israeli security forces after attempting a stabbing attack had chosen a life of bachelorhood for solid theological reasons, according to a news report.
He wanted to hold out for the 72 virgins promised to terrorist “martyrs” but that was not the only factor.
“Martyrs” are also granted the perk of possessing the sexual potency of 100 men, according to the Muslim faith.
Ibrahim Barda’aya, a 54-year-old single resident of al-Aroub in Judea, was killed as he attempted to conduct a stabbing attack armed with an ax. One soldier was treated for light wounds in the attack.
Abdallah Azam, the imam of Barda’aya’s mosque, told the Hamas newspaper Palestine that the terrorist aspired to be a “martyr” and to “marry virgins in Paradise.”
In Muslim theology “martyrs” are those who die while trying to implement the path of Allah, and they are given immediate atonement for all their sins with the first drop of their blood.
“Martyrs” are likewise freed of the tribulations of the grave, a crown of honor is placed on their heads, and they marry 72 virgins from Paradise known as Hoor al-Ayn. They can bring 70 of their family members along with them into Paradise.
According to the tradition, in Paradise each man will have only one wife, while the righteous will have two wives, and “martyrs” will have 72 because they enter Paradise without any sins on their souls.Perks of martyrdom called irresistible for ax-wielding Palestinian bachelor…

Idiot! Believer in fairy tales. Fool!
Peter Charles says
You are right, they are fools. The problem is that there are millions that have been fooled by islam.
Azacque says
What, are there no virgins in their own countryÉ
Bob says
Have you missed the accounts of their actions in Germany & Sweden, among other European countries? Grooming gangs & the like…
Shane says
For some Muslims, the only way they can get a woman is by rape or by becoming a martyr. We in America cannot allow are Muslims to rape and sexually assault our women and children the way they are doing is some European countries. We need to elect a Republican President who will take the fight to the Jihadis and stop Muslim immigration into the USA.
Jay Boo says
Which Republican for President?
They all have issues.
However, all are better than the Head-bump beast from hell, Hillary.
On the Democrat side we have the Hillary horror freak show and soft on Islam Bernie.
Anne Smith says
I suppose you could say – with some justification – that the Imams have got their followers by the balls.
Dom1 says
The thing is it is not just ignorant peasants who believe this stuff some quite educated professionals do as well .A few are on You Tube who say they believe in flying horses and other such nonsense .Seventy two nagging wives in paradise??.More like Hell to me! Apologies to our lady bloggers!!!
Funny how religions always seem to have a thing about sex !!!!
Jay Boo says
Yeah right.
Let’s not single out Islam Dom1.
Someone might say that would be Islamophobic.
Just equivocate.

Western elites are shocked to hear that sacralised Jew hatred is normative in Islam. They refuse to believe what they refuse to read in the Islam source texts and speeches by the top Islamic clerics in Mecca, Medina and Cairo.
If Western elites will not believe the most authoritative Islamic clerics from the most important cities of Islamic learning, then WHOM WILL THEY BELIEVE?
Jay Boo says
“most authoritative Islamic clerics ”
That is a laughable OXYMORON.
Islam and its carpet kissing after doing Voo-Doo Wudu is a disgrace and JOKE.
Muhammad the murderous Pedophile-Pillager was a CLOWN and a BUFFOON.
Every Muslim knows this.
They are just too ashamed to admit it.
Angemon says
Not as convincing as calling his right hand “girlfriend from abroad”, but sure, whatever.
Jerry says
Islam is a miracle of evil. Beyond all understanding it has entranced 100’s of millions of muslims into putting their faith in a moralless wretch and a god with the mentality of a murdering delinquent. And they wonder why we’re against it. Even if they weren’t committing genocide and terrorizing the world we’d still have every reason to be leery of such a doctrine. You can’t teach millions of people that god says it’s okay to act like murdering brutes and expect it’s not going to produce bad deeds. Way too many muslims are hardwired for supremacy and hate. If islam were Nazi Germany I’d say it’s 1938 about now. Or like Wilders famously said, it’s five minutes to midnight. We need to start fighting a better war. Or the whole world is going to end up like Poland of 1939, tattered and enslaved.

“Ibrahim Barda’aya, a 54-year-old single resident of al-Aroub …” — “… had chosen a life of bachelorhood for solid theological reasons, according to a news report.”
——————————-
No wife, not even a 9 year old bride like Muhammad.
He spent his whole life swimming in Islam’s disgrace.
As a young boy he never even had time —
to learn how to — Master-Hate
Dave de la Rond says
Why should we be surprised with what these parasites open their mouths with.Years of hate and evil brainwashing by their families Imams, UN agencies teaching Palestinian children to hate any Non Muslim . All this is sanctioned by the Palestinian leadership just to divert their theft of Hundreds of millions of dollars in Aud menu theyr steal every year.Go to the Panama Papers + see 9 Palestinian leadership names so far with accounts from $9 million to $710 million
David says
Yes. It is pure INSANITY. With out question. But how do we stop it? It would be useless even to try to “reprogram” all the millions who follow old Mo’s example. I’m a proponent of isolation. Like any deadly disease! Ship them all back. Totaly isolate all the muslim nations. Allow no interaction with the rest of the world what so ever.
They will either come to their senses OR kill each other! The latter is more likely to happen. But then, the rest of us would be safer!

The dream…72 virgins of the highest porn star beauty and experience…
The reality…None of the virgins knows what she is doing, they all resemble Miss Piggy, the couch has lumps and springs sticking up, the wine is sour and the grapes moldy…The river that runs through Paradise is polluted due to climate change…Paradise is not what it is advertised..
The entry fee is not worth the experience….
SpiritOf1683 says
I notice that imams, clerics and mullahs aren’t prepared to sacrifice themselves, and the terrorist leaders always go into hiding at the least sign of a threat to their lives.

Once you subjugate citizens in small and large towns you can secure the support of the victims. Its either you become an ISIS member or you loose your life. Death is a great motivation and secures the cooperation of the intelligencia.

Here’s a classic bit of comedy/ satire on the topic of those famed ’72 virgins’.
