Umm...Kinda Making An Assumption There, Maybe?

A bit late, perhaps, and not quite in the 4th of July mood, but I noticed something interesting about this article on female suicide bombers:

According to the Koran, male martyrs are welcomed to Paradise by 72 beautiful virgins. Ayat, as with many of the women she is incarcerated with, believes that a woman martyr "will be the chief of the 72 virgins, the fairest of the fair".

As was put by the blogger formerly known as Maladictorian, this is obviously ridiculously sexist. But more than that, what happens if the female suicide bomber, um, isn't a virgin? Or isn't fair at all?

I suppose while they are changing her body into the "fairest of the fair," they can restore her lost virginity to boot. But still, kind of presumptuous, perhaps.
