Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Your first question is B - a direct successor of Mohammad

The second question is difficult!. Basing this on a line about them I read once where they claim that "defeat makes us invincible", I am thinking that they managed to turn the negative of defeat into a positive when the Roman's got to them so possibly, in their minds, they beat the Romans and created their own set of living conditions that allowed them to live well but not have to overtly follow Roman law!. That is just a guess!. Going to watch this one for a definitive answer!. :o)Www@QuestionHome@Com
