A question for Muslim men: why virgins?
67 Answers
I’m not talking just about the 72 virgins (actually white raisins) promised to suicide bombers as a reward for their murderous atrocities. I gather that ordinary law-abiding Muslim men require their brides to be virgins too and can divorce them on their wedding night if they turn out not to be so.
What is the appeal of the virgin?
It cannot be virginity itself since that soon disappears. I can’t help thinking (and I would be happy to be proved wrong) that it has nothing to do with love or even sex but is a matter of possession. The man insists on knowing that he is the first to ‘possess’ the woman and will not have her if he has already been ‘possessed’ by another man. Is this so? If not, what is it?
(On a frivolous note, give me an experienced woman every time. I go along with Professor Harold Hill, played so brilliantly by Robert Preston in “The Music Man”, who sings:
“I flinch, I shy, when the lass with the delicate air goes by.
I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in”.)
But the question itself is meant seriously.

///Keyplus, so a female slave who is raped by her Muslim 'master' is a 'bad' girl according to you but not according to the koran. Explain please.////
No one is talking about anyone who has been raped. Perhaps you should read my earlier post again.
////Does this ban on 'sleeping around' apply to men too////
In few words yes it does. But I know you would not accept my words because that is part of your mission. And for that reason I would not waste more time on that.
I do understand what adultery means or perhaps you can add one more word here and that is fornication. Because I know that in your mind adultery only starts once you are married and are unfaithful.
Having said that if someone stops and regrets about what they might have done in the past and would like to turn their life around then I do not (and should not) care about their past and even that is exactly according to my religion which is Islam.

sir.prize - It is now some years since I discovered that keyplus lives in a mental state all of his own and is quite incapable of answering straight questions. (You will notice that he does not answer my question about possession.) You just have to accept his eccentricities and ignore them and him.
Any rational muslims with an answer?
Meanwhile, I'm trying to imagine our naomi as a missionary. No... no... doesn't work.

Keyplus. You have insulted my wife, my daughter and my daughter-in-law by claiming they are of bad character.
I don't have a problem with their sexual past and present and quite frankly it is absolutely none of the business of you, your religion or any other.
You are clearly a person of very bad character and this is an objective judgement, not one based on the rantings of an ancient, arrogant, ignorant misogynist.
Reading your post here and the posts of other muslims across the internet has done much to reveal the fundamentally fascist nature of your faith.

I don't see why she should be stoned to death even if she has no regrets - it's her body, so what gives anyone else the right to tell her what she should do with it - or to condemn her for making her own choices?
And Keyplus - Sir.Prize is right. Get over yourself for goodness sake! You make yourself more of a fool with every post!
