Basically, He awards sexual pleasures for servitude. I don't know how it's called on the higher planes. But here, on earth, it's called being a pimp.

I see no higher blasphemy.

If I had to imagine what heaven looks like, I'd probably say that you get there as an incorporeal being, that it's some ethereal place where you get to know everything and feel an ultimate, non-physical and sublime pleasures for all eternity, that you become one with god etc.

It seems that, according to some "pious" people out there, paradise is a bordello.

But I'm just a decadent person, unlike those holy worshippers; so what do I know.
The Koran mentions nothing of martyrdom in exchange for virgins. This was spoken by the Muslim prophet(I dare not utter his name . I don't claim to know much at all about the Muslim faith, but the Koran does appear to be inconsistent in that of how to reach immortality. One verse states suicide is forbidden while others say martyrdom is fine. Since martyrdom is suicide, this appears to be an obvious contradiction.

Of course, evolution of man from man-ape is something Muslims do not accept, nor can either school of thought disprove the other. However, I won't need to uphold this point.
The general rule is that a non-fundamentalist Muslim doesn't take the Koran any mor eliterally than a non-fundamentalist Christian reads the Bible literally. You're assuming that all Muslims believe in literal creationism.

As I mentioned before, the greatest pleasure in Paradise will be actually seeing Allah.
This is also true for the Judeo-Christian god. Believe it or not, the Christian god somehow deludes his believers in heaven so that even if their mother, father, or brother went to "hell" for being atheists, they are still "there" in heaven. Yep, the whole point of heaven is being with god. He doesn't give two shits about anyone who doesn't accept him.
