Maybe you should just give up on arguments, you don't seem to have the required tools to make a valid point.

Unlike a lot of things in Christianity are taught that have no reference at all in the Bible - the Virgins (The houri have variously been described as being "restraining their glances (chaste)",[7][8] "modest gaze",[4] "wide and beautiful/lovely eyes",[3][7][9] "like pearls",[3] "spouse",[10] "companions of equal age",[2] "splendid",[1] "voluptuous",[11] and much more besides.) NOTE THE WORD CHASTE (means Virgin) are absolutely discussed in the Quran.
So you really think your "tools" of argument have any merit because you are claiming that the martyrdom enticement is not expressly stated in the Quran? Why would that matter at all when many suicide bombers can't even read - the Clerics make all KINDS of claims that arent in the Quran. Just like crazed christians make up all kinds of silly shit that isn't in the bible.
And that young males would not want these Virgins in the afterlife?? You obviously know nothing about the subject - there is nothing more enticing to a young horny virgin male - that has been brainwashed and sexually repressed since puberty - than the promise of an afterlife filled with gorgeous Houri virgins.
