I recently had the good fortune to run across the new Jack Chick tract, “Men of Peace?”1. For anyone not familiar with Jack Chick's tracts, you're in for a real treat. He's a fundamentalist Christian who uses interesting “reframings” of facts to get people to convert to Christianity (all his comics end with a prayer that can be prayed right on the spot for a person who wants to accept Jesus Christ). Now, I have no problem with people who want to give testimonials (although I find it a bit crude to leave them toilet stalls), but Jack Chick's cartoons are “special” (in the short bus kind of way)2. I_Shall_Burn_In_Hell )


As a closer to my lengthy rant, I would like to include a little juicy tidbit I picked up in my research:

For all the guys out there who were hoping to get 72 perpetual virgins when they passed into Paradise, I'm sorry to say that this is only a myth. The Quran does not specify the number of virgins, so while it may mean that you get 203, it could also mean you're limited to only 5.

Now, many apologists I have read claimed that the Quran specifies both men and women will be awarded equally with beautiful virgin partners of the opposite sex. Hoewever, Sura 55:56 specifically says “maidens”, and many pre-modern Quranic scholars have agreed. So if women are awarded equally to men, all I can say is...there will be some great lesbian sex in paradise! References )

We've got a great education system. This video says it all:

The motto of the school is "Where girls with dreams become women of vision". I might expect this kind of thing in a normal public school, but a private school -- particularly a girls' private school -- should teach women their history.
