The concept of Heaven seems contrary to some common "solutions" to the Problem of Evil, because everybody in it is supposedly happy and virtuous for all of eternity.

And, of course, there is the question of whether anyone ever has any form of sex in Heaven. Although the Christian Heaven seems to lack that, with everybody seemingly having the sexuality of a eunuch, the Muslim Paradise does feature lots and lots of cute young ladies for the men.

In the Muslim heaven, they are not (to my knowledge) all "ladies". They are "Houris" and separate creations (Baal you may choose to correct me on this one - if you read this) and they are on the staff. There are both male and female Houris and they serve endless delicious food and pass around drinks that never give hangovers, and entertain in other ways as requested.

Sounds like a better heaven than the biblical god promised!

Yes, and female houris are perpetually virginal, so that every time with them is like the first time :-)
