I think not said:I've read online that this 70 virgin thing is a western myth, I never really had the nerve of asking a few muslims I know, they are very decent people, I wouldn't want to offend them.

The Palestinian press repeatedly exalts the religious status of the martyr (Shahid) for the sake of Allah. The Chief Mufti of the Palestinian Police, Sheik Abd Al-Salam Skheidm specified the rewards according to Islamic tradition:
From the moment his first drop of blood spills, he feels no pain and he is absolved of all his sins; he sees his seat in heaven; he is spared the tortures of the grave; he is spared the horrors of Judgment Day; he is married to [70] black-eyed [virgins]; he can vouch for 70 of his family members to enter paradise; he earns the crown of glory whose precious stone is worth all of this world. (Palestinian Authority daily newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, September 17, 1999)

our understanding of Palestine.
It is how irretrievably young they are.
Imagine if you will, Animal Farm.
Or even Peter Pan's Lost Boys.

jimmoyer said:I'll stick with pointing the blame at our
natural authoritarian impulses, our need to hear
an echo of ourselves, a characteristic endemic
to even secularists, and wise independent thinkers.
Sometimes the object of our scorn and disrespect
is going to be the purveyor of some truth, a truth
we did not expect from so dismissed a source.
I suspect this will happen from the religious right
as we hurl ourselves inevitably INEVITABLY INEVITABLY
to a science fiction future of creating a new
race, or fix our blemishes in the image we imagine
to be more perfect.
When we get rid of all those blemishes, those inefficiencies in ourselves, and we get rid of unwanted
blemished births, perhaps the old ages before secular
thought was King might open something to us something we forgot.
Perhaps we see too many mistakes of the bureaucracy
of religion, but I warn you of the bureaucracy and
political correctness that now buddies up with Science.
This will be interesting.
I fear we're all too boring to realize how wrong
our predictions will be.
We're like old generals fighting the last war,
little prepared for an unpredictable future, only
because we judge everything as we see it now,
being virtual prisoners of the NOW, we even
mis-interpret history, and we compare little of the NOW
that could have been or what was horrifyingly avoided.
We'll never know.
But we think we do.
