“The Religious Policeman,” my favorite Saudi expatriate blogger, has some ideas about the 72 virgins that supposedly await Muslim martyrs.
His posting is just more fallout from an Arab-language television program that frankly uncovers the link between sex (or lack of sex) and martyrdom. More here, including a quote from a guy who is still in the news: “I don’t want any women to go to my grave at all during my funeral or on any occasion thereafter.”
Aphrodite will not be denied, as I once wrote.
