In both ancient Aramaic and in at least one respected dictionary of early Arabic, hur means "white raisin". So the reward in the afterlife is a nice bowl of white grapes, not virgins.  |
True, but think about it. It could be aplay on words. Like in our language, a pink or ripe cherry means a hot virgin. Maybe their barbarian heathin toung has similar sexual inuendos. like instead of pink, they use white. And instead of cherries, they use grapes. See what im sayin??
Pop dat grape....beeeach!!! whut whut!!! Werd!!
