what version of the Qu'ran are you reading? these are three translations that I found:
09.011
YUSUFALI:
But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and
practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We
explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.
PICKTHAL:
But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due,
then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a
people who have knowledge.
SHAKIR:
But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate,
they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications
clear for a people who know.
secondly, there's a lot of dispute about the term "virgin." most muslims I know interpret it as meaning "sinless beings," much like angels, not nubile human females.
lastly, please spare us rabid christian apologetics that demonize whole classes of people - it's not only unscriptural but blackens the faces of real christians everywhere.
