Twit! Where do you see any apology for the terrorist?
Here's a bit from a site that examines the questions people ask about the quran, particularly about the 70 virgins issue... for your further understanding:
Reader's Comments: Recently, Bob Simon interviewed Muhammad Abu Wardeh about the palestinian suicide attackers on Sixty Minutes. His remarks in Arabic were translated on the program as: "God would compensate the martyr for sacrificing his life for his land. If you become a martyr, God will give you 70 virgins, 70 wives and everlasting happiness. How would you defend that with respect to WTC suicide attacks? Do you think they died for this sensual aspect? Isn't it ridiculous that Muslim's God lures man with the promise of women in paradise? ---- First of all, this 70 virgin aspect that's been forwarded by some to gauge the reasons behind such actions by suicide attackers in the case of WTC attacks is as it stupid and idiotic as it sounds. The idiotic argument fell flat when Wafa Idris5, the Palestinian woman, blew herself up on 27th of Jan 2002. It's a case of state terrorism of Ariel Sharon, that drove this lady to this kind of rage and revenge and not her aspiration to meet 70 virgins in paradise. If all these suicide bombers only wanted to attain pleasure with 70 virgins, then they didn't have to give up their lives.
Child prostitution is at an all time high with more and more virgins being dumped into it daily. Agreed! Man has always yearned for virgins and this problem has acquired endemic proportions in Europe and USA in recent years. A UNICEF Report in1998 divulged grisly details about an estimated 100,000 homeless children exploited for sex in eastern Europe, according to the survey done by the ECPAT organization. It fed on fears of AIDS which stimulated the demand for virgins, and on progress in communications technology which led to a proliferation of child pornography. The graph is rising vertically.
ECPAT has estimated that there are between 100,000 and 300,000 children sexually exploited yearly through prostitution and pornography in the United States alone.3 Some 21000 in South Africa4. Most of them between the ages of 10-15 yrs. Where is the market for all these exploited kids? The customers for them are living amongst us in this society. If only for the sake of sensual pleasure, the terrorists had no reason to give up their lives for seeking orgasmic pleasures in hereafter. A paradise, you are never sure of.
The point is, there is never an increase in commodity without a demand in the market. People who talk saintly(sic) and criticize Quran about these sensual pleasures being granted to man by God in the hereafter in lieu of not indulging in them here and maintaining piety, order and sanity on Earth, should ponder over the present chaotic, insecure and unhealthy state of this Earth, devoid of man's fear of God, fear of Hell and a yearning for paradise. A study of human history as well as that of contemporary societies shall clearly evidence the fact that one of the strongest attractions that has led man away from God and His directives is that of the opposite sex.
Many a times, man has sinned because of this impulse. In Hindu religion, The king of Heaven, God Indra, was shaken to know this effort of Vishmamitra that could pose danger to his throne! Therefore, Indra decided to put obstacles in his austerities and thereby break his sadhana - spiritual discipline. Indra thought of using weapon of lust to this end. Accordingly, the most beautiful and ever youthful Apsara, Menaka, was sent from heaven to distract and seduce Vishwamitra, who was gaining alarming levels of yogic power through his concentrated meditation. (Apsara in Hindu mythology, heavenly nymph of great beauty, is often represented as a dancer at the court of the Hindu god Indra in his heavenly kingdom.)
So there we see, even god indulging in carnal pleasures. In the corrupted for of Bible which was supposed to be God's word, God has supposedly inspired King David's men to get some heat for King David by having a beautiful virgin minister unto him. Let us look at 1King1:1-4 "When King David was old and well advanced in years, he could not keep warm even when they put covers over him. So his servants said to him, 'Let us look for a young virgin to attend the king and take care of him. She can lie beside him so that our lord the king may keep warm.'
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful girl and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. The girl was very beautiful; she took care of the king and waited on him, but the king had no intimate relations with her." Is the Bible a porn-full man made book? or is it an inspired Divine Book from GOD Almighty? Did GOD Almighty inspire David's men to bring him a young virgin so he can sleep with her without marriage? What kind of morals are we teaching our kids here? So what we call today illegal prostitution and sex according to the "laws of the Bible" is actually allowed in the Bible? I as a Muslim by the way, don't believe that a Prophet from GOD Almighty would do these things, and Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran did talk about King David in the best terms.
I repeat my above statements now, the Noble Qur'an has simply assured man that there is no harm in this attraction if one's behavior is controlled within the boundaries prescribed by the Shari`ah [i.e. the limits prescribed by God]. It has assured man that if, in the life of this world, man would control himself within the boundaries prescribed by the Shari`ah, his Lord in His infinite mercy shall grant him all that he desired to get but from which he refrained himself, only to deserve the mercy and good will of His Lord.
