Craigpro,
My understanding is Muslims believe in armageddon, but it has a similar/different meaning. The similarities are that there will be blood drawn world wide, global conflict ect. The difference is Christians and Jews do not want armageddon to take place due to the ammount of carnage that will take place and lives lost, but in the end Jesus will purify the world of all evil and there will be peace on earth. In the Koran if I have read up on this correctly, the muslims want to start armageddon (particularly twelvers) because the madi will come out, there will be world wide blood shed, and they believe all Jews will be wiped off the face of the earth with no place to hide.. Their term for satan is not the same as the Christian understanding though. Satan for christians is one fallen angel that rules all hell and is the king of evil, where the muslims believe satan can be an entire group of people or a country. The way I understand it there is little satan (Jews) and big satan (americans) but I believe this is just for the fundamentalists in those countries which sadly to say there is quite alot of them.. I hope this helps out a little bit.
