Racism in Islamic Heaven

Racism! All the heavenly babes 
in Islamic paradise are WHITE.

All the sultan's women are white in every painting of harems. In all pictures representing Islam's 72 heavenly virgins for each man in Islamic paradise, the women are white. Perhaps we should cry, "RACISM! Shame on Islam. It's a racist religion!"

Women of all races are beautiful so why does Islam have a  preference for white women in their heaven? Is this racism against whites, as in white women are the houris (etymology meaning whores) of a supremacist Islamic heaven to be used for eternal sex, or is it racism against women of color because 1400 years ago in Muhammad's day white skin was desirable to Arabs, the skin of their own women being quite darkened from the hot desert sun after a lifetime of hard work? Even Muhammad's flying horse Lightning (al-Borak in Arabic) had the face of a white woman.

This is a true story about how dangerous Europe (anywhere really but especially Europe with its millions of recent Muslim arrivals and skyrocketing crime against women) is today for unsuspecting young girls and women. My granddaughter is going to Europe this summer, but when I give warnings for her to "be careful" my daughter's response is exactly the same as Carlo's wife's response all those years ago.

When I was 19 and young, naive and innocent I went to school in Padua and Venice staying with friends of my parents, Carlo and Ann. It was a glorious experience but often I think back to how I certainly was almost kidnapped, drugged and sold into the white slave market. (Today it's called human trafficking.) At that time people thought the destination of a white slave was a harem deep in Saudi Arabia where women were cosseted and plied with lotions and oil on their skin, watched over by a eunuch and called to the bed of the sheikh at his command. However, now a more likely fate occurs to me - I might have been pimped out by the Mafia or sold to a Neapolitan drug gang.
