Many scholars conclude that the Q'uran says 72 raisins
(white raisins of crystal clarity, a prized delicacy in the
ancient Near East) and not 72 virgins are what await
martyrs in paradise...

Raisins! Really? Well what a let down.

Yeah but.... I never heard anyone claim they were supposed to be female
virgins, either. Who knows... maybe you'd end up with 72 Pee Wee Hermans,
or
something.

Or if they were female, perhaps there's a ~reason~ they're virgins...

"I thought Quasimodo was a fictional character"
"Huh? She's one of your virgins... the "pretty" one"
