Reply #10: No, from what I have read about the traditional Muslim culture, [View All]

Women martyrs can pick loved ones to be with them in their after-life.

They usually select their children or their mother.

BTW I think it's 70 virgins vice 72 but not positively sure. No matter - IMO the exact number doesn't matter because "the intended insult" of Martyrdom within the Muslim Faith has long worn thin.

When judging other religions please recall that one Catholic Saint, in particular Our Joan of Arc was no slouch. Albeit she wore no suicide belt, her faith imposed assured Death Sentence, Martyrdom and subsequent Saint hood.

After all the insults I've had to endure about liberal Catholics by Souther Baptists, I find insulting anyone's practiced religion and culture only serves to spread resentments and nurture grudges against "the other."

But that's just me :shrug: ... unless you're atheist or agnostic everyone must STAND ALONE before their Higher Power. :hi:
