Sharia Islam's Paradise

    I have been reading Islam for about two months trying to find a way to dissuade people from being converted to Sharia Islam. This jihad has been hampered by a terrible memory, and I ask the reader for some mercy with my generalities. For instance, I have just read - doubtlessly I have read it before, of a prominent person, a general, I think, in the Philippines, who said something like, "How can we defeat the Muslims when they look down the barrel of our guns and see Paradise?" Well, of course, they die even if they die willingly, but he is surely alluding to the fact that there are many more to replace each dead fighter because of their belief in a very happy, happy heaven. This is the main Achilles' heel of Sharia Islam. First, this happy, happy heaven is based not on evidence, except supposedly what Muhammad believed he heard from the angel, Michael during his visits to the cave, while riding, and even giving speeches during which he fell into some kind of fit or seizure. I have yet to read a comment about anyone else seeing the angel. In America, it is certainly your prerogative to believe in what you wish, that is, have faith in what you want to have faith in. That is why America in spite of the damage done by the freedom haters is still the greatest land in the world. You can have whatever faith you want, however far out others think it is, and you can openly discuss your faith to those willing to listen. This is very, very different from the Islamic State which Americans don't even know about accurately. This is because our freedom hating president has ordered the military not to report land the IS is taking only land it is losing. But as I have said repeatedly, Obama is best understood as a Shia Muslim not a patriotic American. You could not say this about your caliphate even if you believe it in the IS. Don't you think an individual should be able to be able to do that? Are you not more than a camel or an ass? No one owns you, and has the right to tell you what to think and say.
    Another problem with the Islamic heaven is that it is extremely low-brow in that it rewards you with sex, non-intoxicating wine, and shade. Aren't you more than a camel or an ass? How about compatible friends, schools and universities, libraries,movie theaters, lecture halls computers, TVs, and travel? The Muslims I've been around were very intelligent. Do they become brain dead in Islamic heaven?
    The other problem with Islamic heaven is the sex. Sexually having boys like "unguarded pearls" is illegal as well as morally wrong in the modern world. Besides, where do these boys come from? Do they want to serve as whores? Have their parents- not that they can legally today- agreed to their son's whoring in paradise? Who is the defeated warrior who had the most handsome son around and would not willingly hand him over to the caliph for the caliph's sexual pleasure? So the caliph killed them both. Does Protective Services for Children know about this use of children in Islam heaven? They are probably on the way. It is 2016. We know that the IS makes sex slaves of boys as well as girls and women, so obviously these men would like to pursue that perversion in heaven, but do individual Muslims support this? If you took a free, honest vote, would the "ummah" support boy sex slaves in paradise? Are the Muslims even free to say whether they support it or not? They would be accused of apostasy, wouldn't they? Which means death. Look how individuals have been free in the West to confront the criminal Catholic Church for allowing priests to get away with making their altar boys sex-slaves. Don't you Muslims, especially the Sharia ones, want that kind of freedom? Have you no concept of the civil rights of a human being? Can you not see a person as a non-slave to Muslim,  as a sovereign person, able to look at the evidence, think, and choose for himself? Who has the right to enslave you? Allah? And that's because Mohammad had a fit and said so? Are you sure you want to base a life of total slavery - they'd kill you for your thoughts if they could (and you know that!)- on Mohammad? He was not God, you know. He was a man. The consequences of being a man is that you are not perfect. You Sunni, as compared to the Shia, know that.
    Another problems is with the "houri." the part human female sex slaves who have their hymen restored after each act of intercourse. Who wants to have sex with only a half-human? For many of the men being killed in the IS and in other terrorists groups, they not have had intercourse. If they have intercourse in heaven with only a part human, they have never had sex with a human woman. How sad! It is also sad that a religion has two faces about sex: On earth, it has to be with a wife, temporary wife, sex slave or boy. In heaven, it can be with many part-human women who become virgins after each act or many boys. The results are that observant Muslims boys are sex-starved on earth yet satiated in heaven. Why not more sex on earth so you can have a human, female partner rather than some robotic houri in heaven who has to go through the discomfort of having her hymen broken every time she has sex?  Or be a pervert and have a boy?
    I have read of Morocco's Mohammad VI supposedly implying, as recorded by the Wall Street Journal, that modern Muslims don't believe in the Islamic heaven as described in the Quran. My first reaction was that was simply more Islamic deceit "for the religion." Why do you have to lie for the religion? Perhaps, though Muhammad VI was correct: it is a growing conclusion in the ummah that the Quranic heaven not longer applies, it is outmoded. If so what are you now thinking when you look into the barrel of a gun? Something sane like "this was not worth it?"
