Then again, if he's offering up 72 virgins to people, he must at least understand the concept of pleasure. I guess he just doesn't partake, because he's too busy torturing people he doesn't like. And some people he does like, if we take Job as an example.
You can show mercy sometimes, and justice other times, but you can't be 100% both at the same time, at all times. And when most people describe how great their god is, they usually mean 110% all the way, with no room for error.
I'm surprised that the "72 virgins" rightist joke is still circulating; I don't believe in this so you can just move on because it is totally...ignorant and makes me feel sad for you to believe in such thing.
Of course you can show both if you're a God, capable of anything. Unless you are speaking about "Shiva or the Evangelical Jesus", then you and I will never find a mutual ground for discussion because you insist on treating "God in Islam" as an "Anthropomorphism" freak resulting from human mind.

Have you ever loved and hated someone? Maybe the differences are more subtle or the definitions are muddled here, but I don't think justice and mercy, on general principle, are mutually exclusive.
I truly think that nothing makes something "just" but "mercy"; court systems on earth exist because the society treats its "victims of crimes" with justice by avenging them, the more somebody "loves" and "cares" for their people the more they would build "a better justice system".
Saying justice and mercy are mutually exclusive is total denial of the fact that without mercy, justice would not even be implemented. In other words; the more "you care for your people -i.e love them-" the more you would sharpen your blades to protect them and avenge them. Which is why all nations in the world have armies.
