Fascinating, so the Muslims are taught that by killing infidels (or other enemies) in the name of Allah, keeping Ramadan, and especially getting themselves killed for Allah that they can work their way up to a better afterlife? Is that correct?

An Arab once told me that they are taught that the earth is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War, and that they believe that the whole eart will one day be in the House of Islam.

Do I correctly conclude that "House of War" refers-to all of us infidels?

Yep, or, more correctly, every country that is not ruled by Muslims. That is why they so bitterly resent the fact that Spain was reconquered, and that the Caliphate was destroyed in 1923.

The Successor of the Prophet or Khalifa, Caliph in its most common English spelling, was the title taken by Abu Bakr, the father-in-law of Muhammad, when he succeeded him as leader of the Ummah or community of Islam in 632. The title became extinct when Khemal Ataturk abolishe the Ottoman Empire in 1923. It was a unique office, because in it was combined the leadership of both the Secular and religious arms of Islam, as if the Pope and the Roman Emperor were the same man. (and it would be a man. ) Todays Islamic radicals yearn for its reestablishment. Do a Google search on "Caliph". You'll get an eyeful, I guarantee.

Cool, just wondered what that was.
Now it seems I recall somewhat of that from world history. But didn't the Pope pretty much run things anyway?
