72 Virgins

If you’re at all interested in comparative religions, or are curious about the truth behind the bullshit that both anti-Islamists and Islamic fundamentalists are spewing, you really ought to take 10 minutes and watch this. The Koran is a much more subtle (and less accessible) book than one might at first suspect, and when properly read seems to be full of surprises - including the laundry list of conditions around “kill all infidels” and the non-existance of those 72 virgins.

I’m going to be buying Ms Hazleton’s book as well.
