Paradise is ...

not heaven. Paradise is the metaphysical reward for all that the Moslem is denied on earth by Islam itself. Sexual repression and exploitation of the less empowered is the mainstay of the Muhammedic paradigm. Paradise is the reward for being a good proletariat Moslem. Wealthy Moslems, presumably, have their earthly wants obtained in this life. Poor Moslems may get this in paradise, but by killing an infidel,Jew, or somebody, to obtain martyr status. Ignorant people, indoctrinated from birth, reinforced by their culture, and left unchallenged, will continue to intimidate, terrorize, and move the earth ever close to a permanet, perpetual conflict, with an unending source of cannon fodder. Such is the history, pattern ,and practice of Islamic Muhammedism.
