Christian writers framed Muslim paradise as carnal reward for killing Christians

Evidence

The Chronicles of Theophanes Confessor describes Muhammad as “the precursor to the Antichrist,” and then goes on to describe heaven in lascivious terms. Like many Christian accounts of jannah, sex is described as a reward for committing violence against Christians: … [Muhammad] Taught his subjects that he who kills an enemy or is killed by an enemy goes to Paradise; and that this paradise was one of carnal eating and drinking and intercourse with women, and had a river of wine, honey, and milk, and that the women were not like the ones down here, but different ones, and that the intercourse was long-lasting and the pleasure continuous; and other things of profligacy and stupidity… . — Sophia Rose Arjana, Muslims in the Western Imagination, 130

Categorization

• DEFINE: Establishes the medieval Christian construction of jannah as a sexual playground — a definitional building block of the pervert-muslim figure.
• QUESTION: Note that the actual Qur’anic paradise includes rivers of wine, honey, and milk and houris — how much of this caricature is distortion of real scripture vs. pure invention? Worth checking the primary source.
• XREF: connects to: The carnal Paradise was the central symbol of Christian anti-Islam polemic
