If foul smell is coming out of your house then I can and must only complain about it to you. It is not my duty to go into your house and find out what the source of this foul smell is, let alone clean it up. You have to do it yourself.

Bisvas, you give yourself away when you chose such analogies as above.

was the suicide bomber tamil woman who blew the indian prime minister rajeev gandhi with herself also promised 72 virgins? what about the tamil tigers blowing themselves up in suicide missions in sri-lanka, what are they offered as a reward? would you blow yourself up for what? not even a thousand cindy crawfords, i bet (no offence cindy).

what about the buddist monks who were immolating themselves against US occupation of vietnam? who promised them what? do not oversimplify.

you talk about nasikh and mansukh. then you must have read the Quran also. i am sure you read it with an open mind and found many contradictions. but nasikh and mansukh will not make those contradictions go away don't you think? so let's forget about this theory and see what you found, that is if you found them yourself and didn't read it from one of those websites you are advising me to visit.
