Hope all those poor saps like raisins. BTW Ibn Warraq is the author of the excellent book Why I am not a Muslim.

Seriously - are they suppose to watch as their husbands F*** the virgins?

I think they get young lovers of their own. I mean, it is Paradise.

If no one has any quotes from the Qu'ran, I'll call my Shi'ite Muslim friend up tonight and ask her.

Hmm... as sexist as islam seems to be (from one on the outside who, admittedly, doesn't really know a lot about it, so I might be completely off here) I think it could be a possibility that many muslims believe that their "heaven" is only for men? That women are to simply be their slaves in heaven?

If the Qu'ran does not say anything about what women get in paradise, what do Muslim women assume or think they will get in paradise. Perhaps they become these virgins? I look forward to the answer QueenofSwords.

Well, many Islamic scholars in the past have argued that the houris would be perpetually virgins. You bed them and then their virginity would be renewed miraculously.
