Iraq never attacked us. The only reason why we wnet after Saddam was because he tried to have Bush Sr. killed after the first Gulf War.

Every person that I heard talk about Iraq in Turkey says either one of the two things:

America is evil harah harah harah

Iraqis are pychos (followed by a grimace as if the conversation was about fried pork intestines)

# If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
# And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
# Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
# Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
# And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
# If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
# Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
# Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
# But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
# And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
# And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

The 72 Virgins thing is from the Hadith. Definitely about females, pretty explicit about defining "virgin" too. I'm no scholar, nor do I read Arabic. The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/saturday_review/story/0,3605,631332,00.html) is good enough for me.

What has me curious is where the number 72 came from ? Like "Hey, my virgins. One, two, three, ... oh never mind."

I think the point is, it's worst to be humiliated by defeat and occupation, to be persecuted and enslaved, than to be straight out killed. And if we know one thing about the Arabs, they don't like having to submit.

From what I've seen so far that book is shit on advice.That's a pretty creative interpretation of it, don't you think? Basically it says it's better to die on your feet than live on your knees, but just like Jesus' "Give the guy your shirt too" thing, it's understood that while you should always resist oppression, throwing your life away - inviting genocide - helps no-one.

On a side note, several sources [Sunan al-Tirmidhi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunan_al-Tirmidhi) for example] explicitly say that killing innocent, exemplified with bystanders, results in an afterlife where you re-live that fate yourself, over and over for eternity. So virgils, sturgeons or no, terrorist bombers won't be getting any. Also says the reward for suicide is to re-live the act for eternity.. Not quite sure how the combination works out.

My knowledge of Islam is completely anecdotal, but the virgin thing is apparently not dogma, so I shouldn't think most people with dreams of martyrdom count on that kind of payoff. Likely they're just pissed off.Made me laugh.So did your sturgeons :p

I read some place that 72 virgins in the hadith was misinterpreted, as something about a grape vine. i'll have to look for the sign. And also, because its in the hadith, doesn't make it 100% accurate of what mohammed said. It depends on the type of hadith.

The context is the dead guy is rewarded a huge chunk of fertile land, an enormous palace, a small army of servants, and 72 wives (who're virgins, because that's what the ideal wives were/are). I can't imagine how it could possibly be grapes.. But again, I'm no authority on Islam. I linked to the wiki entry on the (to the best of my knowledge) most popular version of the relevant Hadith earlier. I'm pretty sure I checked there were links to translations. I meant to anyway.
