TW: HATRED TOWARDS RELIGION, RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION.
(NB: I'm translating this to share Korean Netizens' views on Islam. I have no malicious intentions.)
Muslims are increasing in South Korea as the teachings perfectly suit the sentiments of some Korean men.
Some men who are attracted to the idea of polygamy and male dominance are finding Muslim women on applications, converting to Islam to pursue dates, and even marrying these women. There's a growing trend online of people sharing apps and tips for doing this.
"In the case of my wife, she had a virginity test at a gynecologist before our marriage and showed me the certificate. It's not legally required. However, I think it's a custom in Islamic and Arab societies to prove one's virginity to the husband. I assume it's the same in the woman's country and society."
It is said that in the Islamic paradise, one can freely enjoy sexual intercourse with multiple beautiful virgins (Quran 56:35).
Although Choi Younggil's translation of the Quran refers to the beautiful maidens as 'new spouses,' I believe that it indirectly means a being that they can share a bed with no restrictions or obligations, just like a wife.
Originally, in the Arabic Quran, they are called 'Huri' (which can be translated as 'fair maidens'). Just by looking at the descriptions of them in the Quran, it's clear that they are incredibly beautiful women. They have big beautiful eyes (Quran 56:22), are pure virgins untouched by any man (Quran 55:74), lie in wait on beds (Quran 55:76), are of similar age (Quran 56:37), are as delicate as protected eggs (Quran 37:49), and wear silk robes embroidered with gold and silver bracelets (Quran 76:21). Their breasts are full (Quran 87:33).
A Korean Muslim clarifies the misunderstanding about the phrase 'being rewarded with virgins in heaven':
There are people who argue, 'Why does the Quran describe the pleasures of heaven in such a sexually explicit way?'
In the Hadith (a book that holds a status almost equal to the Quran in Islam), it says that martyrs who die for God will be rewarded with 72 women.
What is the most intense pleasure? It's sexual pleasure. Because sexual pleasure is the most intense joy, God gives it as a reward in heaven. What's the problem with that?
There is no such thing as morality in heaven.
In the current world, there are morals and boundaries that we must uphold, which is why there are things like rape and sexual assault that we must avoid.
If we are given such intense pleasure in heaven. What's the problem with that?
Be honest with me, if someone goes to heaven and is constantly given such pleasure.. You wouldn't be jealous, would you?
--
What about women? Do women also get 72 handsome young men? (I don't need that) How can something like this be a religion?
-He actually titled that video a lecture?
-Oh, okay then...
-I haven't read the Quran, and I've only read fragmented opinions about it. I'm not interested in clearing up any misunderstandings by watching things like this. Nowadays, I don't trust YouTubers or speakers like that. I'm going to study and judge them myself.
-Are there Korean Muslim women? Neither the men nor the women seem to be sane.
