Zarqawi's Surprise   [Jonah Goldberg]

Let us hope that Zarqawi is greeted in the after life with a giant, tasty, bowl of white raisins. 

In case you hadn't heard, there's good reason to believe that the passage which tells Jihadi martyrs that they'll get virgins in the  afterlife is wrong. It shouldn't be virgins, it's actually raisins. A full explanation can be found here . Or, as I noted in this column on the first anniversary of 9/11:

Because of a grammatical glitch, it's quite possible that the Koranic passage which promises that salvation is an eternal Fleet Week for young men who massacre innocents more likely promises that you get a nice bowl of juicy white raisins when you go to Heaven. Not only is that great news for twitchy evil pervs like Atta because it means his tighty-whiteys will remain unsullied by female hands for all eternity, it opens huge new possibilities for "Fruit of the Loom" underwear. One can only imagine the reactions of these young men, all torqued-up from endless assurances that their afterlife will be one endless booty-call, only to be greeted with a great big bowl of white raisins.
