Kook is a Muslim? I thought she didn't believe in God.

She said she was Muslim in a topic once.

Yes, she is a Muslim. As a Hindu, I can confirm this.

Raisins
> Some scholars argue that the promise of 72 virgins is a mistranslation from "72 angels" or even from "72 white raisins, of crystal clarity". According to Ibn Warraq referring to The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran, "Luxenberg claims that the context makes it clear that it is food and drink that is being offered, and not unsullied maidens or houris"

Some light Googling about virgins and raisins should give you the gist of the argument.

72 is supposedly a number that just colloquially means lots or many and is not the actual number of virgins/raisins
