If the Exodus didn't happen, the Jews wouldn't put themselves under the Mosaic law

RE: If the Exodus didn't happen, the Jews wouldn't put themselves under the Mosaic law
Quote:2 - If the 72 virigns are not real - why would a billions Islamic men put themselves under that rule?

Grapes. Are they going to be fucking pissed.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/04/opinion/04krist.html

Quote:The Koran is beautifully written, but often obscure. One reason is that the Arabic language was born as a written language with the Koran, and there's growing evidence that many of the words were Syriac or Aramaic.

For example, the Koran says martyrs going to heaven will get "hur," and the word was taken by early commentators to mean "virgins," hence those 72 consorts. But in Aramaic, hur meant "white" and was commonly used to mean "white grapes."

Some martyrs arriving in paradise may regard a bunch of grapes as a letdown. But the scholar who pioneered this pathbreaking research, using the pseudonym Christoph Luxenberg for security reasons, noted in an e-mail interview that grapes made more sense in context because the Koran compares them to crystal and pearls, and because contemporary accounts have paradise abounding with fruit, especially white grapes.


BTW, note that a scholar studying this horseshit feels compelled to use a pseudonym because otherwise the 'religion of peace' and all those 'moderates' would kill him.
