Good news for fundamentalist Muslims in Uganda: you can meet at least 72 virgins, without having to blow yourself up.
Hundreds of virgins gathered in the Ugandan capital on Friday to meet the country’s first lady and renew their pledges to abstain from premarital sex.
It’s great to see such a celebration of religious values bereft of coercion and violence…or did I speak too soon?
Jimmy Bosco, a Ugandan activist for True Love Waits, said premarital sex was forbidden in traditional African cultures.“Some girls who messed around would even be thrown to wild animals, or their parents fined many goats,” he told Reuters.
