Where do the virgins come from? Funny no one seems to ask. There are other questions they fail to clarify before smashing planes into sky scrapers….
How old are the virgins?
Did they die virgins because they were so very ugly, or because they were nagging shrews?
Are they real virgins or born-again virgins?
You can find any number of articles that say that the translation of the word “hur” is taken to be virgins, but probably meant “white grapes” if the original language was Aramic.

Or it could be 72 white grapes, white raisins, or refreshing drink.

I’ve always wondered where they came up with such a stupid claim. I must have missed that section of the Koran.

I think they are supposed to be spirits or some such.

I’ve always thought that it was not so much heaven for the guys as hell for the virgins.

“Where do the virgins come from?”
Religions don’t lend themselves to questions or critical thinking. If that were the case then, well there’d be much fewer followers.
