Imam Samudra sez he kills for virgins

2004-04-14

Bali bombing mastermind Imam Samudra boasted he was a winner from his death row cell Wednesday and said he was looking forward to entering a virgin-filled paradise as a reward for killing Christians. "It's the key to paradise, everything will be very, very nice," he told Sydney radio station 2UE from his jail cell in remarks broadcast Wednesday.

"This mortal coil's gonna be worm food, but the real me's gonna be cavorting with 72 virgins! Nekkid!"

He believed paradise held the promise of 72 virgins for single men, but only 23 if a man had been married on earth, as he has. Samudra said "we kill to get peace," saying his message to the United States and Australia -- which lost 88 citizens in the Bali bombing -- was "I win."

"Now, you might not believe that, 'cuz I'm gonna be dead, and you're gonna be dancin' on my grave..."

He claimed widespread support in the Muslim world. "More than one billion Imam Samudras around the world who will attack Australia ... who will kill John Howard, Bush, Colin Powell, Tony Blair ... ready with their souls, their bombs, their guns," he said. An appeal by Samudra against his death sentence was rejected by Indonesia's High Court last year and his lawyers have said he will appeal to the Supreme Court because he believes he should have been tried under Islamic law.

We don't call them "Imam Samudras." Over here, they're usually called, "known associates" or "targets of opportunity."

#7 He's going to be more than a little upset when he gets to Paradise and finds that the deal is really for 72 raisins. Terrorists need better translations.

#6 I never would have thought that Madonna was so popular throughout Ummah.

#5 72 virgins, 23 virgins, no virgins, lotsa virgins. . .

Everybody seems to have a count of their own. There has to be non-discriminatory rules

What this calls for is a virgin-o-meter, or a virgin scorecard. Who keeps track of virgins due these "martyrs" when they enter paradise?

I guess there are plenty of deceased CPAs in Heaven. It's so unwieldy that I hope they have plenty of the newest pentium computers for the CPAs to track the virgin accounts.

#4 I've been married for years and I'm a lot more interested in the 49 sluts, let me tell you.

#3 Married men get 23 virgins and 49 sluts.

#2 More than one billion Imam Samudras around the world who will attack Australia

don't think there's that many virgins around, this could explain why married men only get 23, they obviously looked at the numbers and had to cut back somewhere

#1 So, whats Allah's reason for only giving 23 virgins to married men.
Doesn't he want them to join the Jihad?
Blatant discrimination, if you ask me.
