If someone has the time, could you please explain what houris is and whether the 72 virgins is true? This is something that has been stereotyped in the west about Islam and usually mentioned in the same breath as so called terrorist martyrs, who say that is what the they will get after they commit mass murder for they believe Islam is. Thanks

It's mentioned in a Sahih Hadith (forgot the reference) which states that men will get 72 virgins in heaven after achieving something (if I remember correctly)

This video explains things nicely...clip
