	Btw, plz also note, our friend Mr Agrawal even asks what 'hoor' is
	in a separate post after this one. One wonders if he asks questions
	to gain knowledge or to give other run arounds for the fun of it ?

	jump at every chance to criticize/mock Islam while still appearing
	to preach it suggests the later.... Mr. Agrawal? :)
