..as my well thumbed copy of the Koran [ I bought it for the Burkas on page 3] is stuck under a wobbly table leg, I need an answer to a question that sort of vaguely crossed my mind while at my ablutions this morning. Does Islam have it's own Satan and Hades or do they share ours?:  |

Does Islam have it's own Satan and Hades or do they share ours?: If only you'd posed that very interesting question last week, BonBon, I could've asked an actual imam I engaged in conversation in a very beautiful mosque in Istanbul. Unlike British imams, he spoke pretty good English, though he did claim to be an engineer as well. I asked what sort, and he said "management engineer". Which would mean he'd be going to Hell regardless, obviously. I can tell you with some certainty that the vast majority of ladies in Istanbul go burkaless, and those of northern Anatolia even more so. There are far more burkas on display in Amsterdam, and even more in Telford. As for London . . . Burkasville, Arizona. God is great. |

I obviously didn't make myself clear
[I apologise...it was breakfast time and there was no vodka for my Alpen]
My concern is that while we all know that a good devout Muslim will have 24 virgins in Heaven, what happens to the bad ones?
Or is it like RC's in that you can be as bad as you like so long as you say sorry at the last minute.

Never felt guilt, ever, except on the very rare occasion when I haven't been able to buy my round. Drop the Alpen, BB. You know it makes sense. As I understand Islam (limited), any Muslim who murders anyone via a suicide action will go straight to Hell. [Virgins? What's the big attraction?] |

OK...but is their Hell a big burning place with a horned chap in fancy dress in charge?
Is it for all of eternity or do they get parole?
...mind you, thinking about it..it just could be full of virgins....
I shall have to research this further.

(a girlfriend made me do it). I bet you told God that she'd made you do it - just like Adam. |

What she made me do was go to Confession. (In the cathedral, as it happens.) Worked like a charm. [I've never spoken to God directly in any case. I leave that sort of thing to my people.] |
