Question for a Koran expert

[EstimatedProphet]

I have been hearing for years now about the Koran passage concerning Jihadists-that they are told they will go to Paradise and get 72 virgins, etc. etc. Does the Koran actually say that, or something that could be taken as meaning that?

2. I looked for it a few years back...

... and it ain't in there. From what I hear it is in the Hadith(sp?) which is a collection of quotes, stories, advice, etc. from Mohammad.

5. Good article

Although it seems there is something to the myth, apparently (as I suspected) the Koran doesn't say that people that blow up innocent people will go to heaven for a giant orgy. I suspected all along that that was simply a racist attack.
