sisterfatima...it's not my blog...it's a blog i found that refers to the "70 virgins" that i mentioned in my previous post. Am i a christian believer? I WAS THEN. I am now a DEIST who believes in the existence of only one God, but not of revealed religions.

In August, 2001, the American television channel CBS aired an interview with a Hamas activist Muhammad Abu Wardeh, who recruited terrorists for suicide bombings in Israel. Abu Wardeh was quoted as saying: "I described to him how 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." Wardeh was in fact shortchanging his recruits since the rewards in Paradise for martyrs was 72 virgins. But I am running ahead of things .

So, why would i apologize when a muslim himself told this ON AIR for everyone to hear?
what about the question about 80,000 servants and 72 wives for every faithful muslim who died? Since you mentioned that women will get the same, will they be getting 72 husbands or they become the virgins in paradise as mentioned in the hadith? I am plain ignorant with your belief that's why i am asking. and the 80,000 servants, are they muslims who died or from other religions?
My eyes are not close, but my main question was never answered from your post that's why i told you that your response is irrelevant. You focus on the excerpt that i posted, but not on my question.
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
