So what happens after the muslim faithful have bedded all 72 of their virgins in paradise? Now they no longer have 72 virgins... and what do the female bombers get?

To not go to paradise.

My understanding of the doctrine is that these are perpetually renewing virgins.

Females get other pleasures, but not male virgins, AFAIK.

Yes, I seem to remember a few of those from high school...

Given the negative perception Islam has of women, female bombers probably get to be one of the 72 virgins for a male bomber.

But that would only work if the ratio of the sexes are 72:1.

Or, only 1/72 of all men get to go to paradise, but all women get to go to this paradise.

I'm confused.

The balance of gender in the souls is all wrong!

Where do these virgins come from? Are they passed on Muslim women? angels? new creations?

And if they are perpetually renewed, does that mean the same ones suddenly become virginal again, or does he get a new harem all the time?

Damn, that's better than putting out a 'Free Beer' sign.

Since women are not considered to really be people in Islam, Allah simply makes extra new women for the men in paradise.

My understanding is they are not normal woman, so it has nothing to do with any created women who may or may not end up in heaven.

A tradition/Hadith also states that the majority of the inhabitants of hell will be women anyway.

Someone needs to drag Pharaoh in here and have him explain how benevolent Islam is to women...

Remember, a husband can beat his wife only if she repeatedly disobeys him!
