If you’re going to be an Islamic militant … you know, a member of ISIS, one of the “selling points” is the notion that there are six dozen virgins waiting for you in heaven just aching to have sex with you.
And if you can’t convince people of your faith to give up their life for their religion using incentives like heaven, and a “oneness with God,” then perhaps the promise of an orgy with 72 virgins might do the trick.
I have many questions about this theory. Where do these 72 virgins come from? Once they’ve been “deflowered” and they’re no longer virgins, what do they do? Laundry? If Islamic radicals are promising scores of untouched virgins to anybody who is killed in the name of “Allah,” do they have some sort of “virgin assembly line” in Jannat (what Muslims call heaven).
I’ve read that most “liberal” Muslims don’t believe this 72 virgins crap, but it’s still used by terrorists as a selling point.
Back in 2008, Tarek Mehanna wrote a poem to entice Western Muslims to join the terrorist cause in the Middle East. Mehanna was convicted in the US of aiding al Qaeda, but fled the country and is now ISIS’s chief propagandist. Here's a sample:
You turn and behold! The voices are singing
Coming from Maidens so fair and enchanting,
These are the Hoorees with round and firm chests
Pure untouched virgins, they’re better than the best,
Seventy-two in all, with large eyes of dark hue

On the one hand, California U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi claims that Democrats are not “fear-mongers;” on the other hand, she believes civilization is doomed if Republicans take control of the Senate from Democrats in November. (My emphasis)
The former speaker of the House made those dramatic, incongruous statements on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” which aired live from Washington, D.C. Friday.
Maher asked Pelosi about recent polling which shows that the GOP is likely to take over the upper chamber and asked, given gridlock in Washingon, why it matters that Democrats keep control.
“It would be very important for the Democrats to retain control of the Senate,” Pelosi told Maher. “Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate.” - Read MorePelosi would go on to state that all the national polling being done, which concludes that congressional Democrats up for election on November 4th are in serious electoral trouble, is in error based upon outdated polling models in the new era of mass communications through social media.

UK: Militants from the Islamic State (IS) group released a third beheading video late on Saturday night, appearing to show the murder of British aid worker David Haines. The film was titled “Message To The Allies of America” and appeared to show Mr Haines, who Isis threatened to kill in a previous video, kneeling in the desert.
Foreign Office staff issued a statement that they were urgently trying to verify the authenticity of the film but the presentation bore similarities to previous Isis films. Speaking to the camera, the hostage identified as Mr Haines, 44, says: “I would like to declare that I hold you David Cameron entirely responsible for my execution.” He later adds: “Unfortunately it is we, the British public, who will pay the price for our parliament’s selfish decisions.”
Just as in the earlier videos released by Isis which showed the beheadings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff in recent weeks, a man clad all in black speaks in the film before Mr Haines is apparently beheaded. The man blames the United Kingdom for its involvement with the United States in the fightback against Isis in Iraq and Syria.Read More
