Yes, and the word for "virgin" is close to the word for "white raisin."  There are issues with Arabic, which I studied for a year. However, I guess I'm not going to rely on a proselytizing site (turntoislsm.com, LOL) for an authoritative translation.[/quote]

Good for you! Noone in the Qu'ran does it mention virgins by the way if you were referring to the 70 virgins lol. Its just funny how it is the same arguments that come over and over. Well since TurntoIslam is not an authoritive translation maybe you should try turntoatheism. Again, my point here is not to convince you about anything, I have no interest in that. My conviction is enough for me, what you believe or look for quite frankly doesn't keep me up at night[/quote]

Well, actually, the words for "virgin" and "white grape" involve the exact same consonants and, because the vowels aren't written out, there's definitely room for debate as to what this means. Why do you think all the martyrs talk beforehand about looking forward to their virgins?

Trying to keep you honest is apparently a never-ending task.[/quote]

Again, my question to you was, where in the Quran does it say anything about Virgins? Besides the miraculous birth of Jesus? So why is this a discussion again about jihadists?? WHere in teh Quran is that promise?[/quote]

We were talking by analogy of the challenges in translating Arabic. Still waiting for an authoratative (i.e, not written expressly to convert anybody) use of the word "egg-shaped."  TIA.[/quote]
