Six of One + Half a Dozen of the Other = 12

Today (Tuesday) was my 12th year anniversary!  It was not full of fancy dining, flowers, greeting cards or crazy sex though.  It’s been 12 years – what are you thinking!  K spent her morning at church actually with her group of ladies that she meets every Tuesday, and like I stated in the last blog, it is soccer practice night – so we are all a little rushed.  Not to mention I worked all day and got dinner prepared so my girls could have a toasty meal.  All in all it was a great day and no drama, which is always nice.

While I was working I heard someone on the radio spouting on about Muslims and the “Religion of Peace”… I use quotes because they used the phrase kind of mockingly.  Much like I will probably do later on in this blog.  I’m not against Muslims though.  In fact one of my best friends is a Muslim and we get along famously. I know that sounds like someone using racial terms then saying “some of my best friends are black/Asian/cauliflower/etc.”

I think its funny how some things are repeated over and over when Muslims are criticized, or rather Radical Muslims.  I think the term “Radical Muslim” makes them sound like an element from the 80′s.  If we have Radical Muslims, I think we also need Gnarly Jews, Tubular Christians, Bodacious Buddhists and Wicked Wiccans… I guess you can’t do that… wicked witches and all – oh well, you understand.

With the martyrs being promised 72 virgins however, it makes it sound more like a “Religion of Piece”.  I don’t think I personally would want 72 virgins.  First of all, I am pretty sure I am going to heaven, and if I got there to find 72 virgins, what would the Mrs. say?  I doubt she would be pleased.  What is the shelf life on a virgin anyway?  Is it like vacation time with some employers?  You use it or lose it?  That seems backwards.  And sometimes women martyr themselves in their Jihad as well.  Do THEY get 72 virgins?  Why would they want that?  That’s like winning 36 minutes of possible enjoyment… total.

Plus look at all the added stress that would come with 72 virgins.  First of all, they are only virgins until you… *you know*.  Then you eventually have like 56 wives and 16 virgins.  Kind of like when you are running out of beer, you taper off your consumption of them.  I have a hard enough time pleasing one wife, so screw trying to appease 72, or 73 if you count the one I already have.

I think they may recruit more dudes if they change it up a little.  Don’t mess with the religious texts mind you – I don’t want to offend anyone by suggesting THAT.  But I mean when marketing your Jihad to others, especially the American men in the prison system (who appear to be converting at a steadily growing pace).  Offer something more reasonable and attractive, like two to four decently experienced women… with the option of trading them in later for newer models.  It’s an Extra Value Meal society – and they need to Super Size.
