The implied incitement to kill Israelis aside, how does a vision of paradise like this differ from the Heaven that Christian's believe in?

The Christian heaven is held up as a reward for behaving as the doctrines of the religion would have you behave.

Ultimately I'm with Art on this. This is an example of how religion is used to motivate people into doing things (at least I think that was what Art was suggesting).
