Is Cat Stevens third in line to be Ayatollah?
No. Cat Stevens is in no way affiliated with any of the Shiite Islamic Clergy where he could become an Ayatollah. There are numerous Ayatollahs and many sheikhs, muftis, and faqihs just waiting for the possibility of promotion to the ranks of the Ayatollahs. They are the ones who will accede to that rank, not Cat Stevens.
Who oversees the Muslim people and religion?
What do you mean by "oversees"? If you're talking about someone like the Pope in Christianity, there is no single 'overseer' in Islam. There are local imams (mosque leaders) as well as 'ulama and muftis (religious scholars) who give direction to the general Muslim ummah (or community). They are not overseers in a direct sense, but more like guides and advisors.

What were the religious resistance groups that fought against the Nazis during the Holocaust?
There were no religious resistance groups that fought against the Nazis. Leaders of most major religions not directly targeted by the Nazis were actually pro-Nazi, such as the Catholic Church and numerous Imams and Muftis in the Middle East and the Balkans. The Orthodox Church opposed the Nazis in principle (since they had defeated Greece and attacked Russia), but did not advocate resistance to the Nazis and did not defend the minorities attacked in the Holocaust. The resistance groups that did organize were nationalists, socialists, and partisans in any given occupied area.
How did the Byzantine Empire and Islamic Caliphates use religion in their own ways as explanation to spread their governorship?
Both the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Caliphates used the dominant religion (Orthodox Christianity and Sunni Islam respectively) to justify wars of conquest. The religious leadership also helped create an easy way of tracking individuals in the empire by centralizing worship and registries. The provincial divisions in the empire were reinforced by the hierarchical division of religious leaderships (Patriarchs/Synods and Muftis respectively). Additionally, the religions provided a code of ethics that would serve as a basis to the legal codices of the countries.
What do you call someone that believes in Islam?

Is job in conventional banking Halal?
Yes. Conventional banking involves giving and receiving interest payments which as per Islamic laws is not acceptable. Hence it is Haram or not Halal. However there are a number of banks that provide Islamic banking facilities to the customers who follow Islam as their religion. If you work for them then it is Halal. The preceding response is terribly misleading and self negating . First, it is not permissible to lend money and charge interest in Islam . Anything which is not permissible is therefore NOT HALAL . If you work for these banks you are not complying with Islamic law (HALAL) . Islamic banks cannot charge interest . If they do, they are also in violation of HALAL . Therefore, the answer you are seeking is an emphatic NO ! Conventional banking is not HALAL because money is loaned for profit . Answer -2 Borrowing/lending money for prophet/interest is one of the most despised activities in Islam. Whatever or whichever label you put on it, it will remain Haram. Labeling a dog as goat can't make the dog Halal. Putting 'Islamic' on alcohol bottle will not make the contents Halal. The so-called 'Muftis' who give fatwas declaring Islamic Banking halal are, in fact, at war against Almighty Allah and beloved Prophet (SAW). May Almighty Allah bless us with the wisdom that is required to understand the holy Qur'an!
Does ISI fight Allah?
If you are asking whether ISI (also called "Islamic State," ISIL, IS, or ISIS by some media sources) fights for Allah, they claim that they do; but many Islamic clerics, including major imams and grand muftis from a wide range of countries, disagree with them, because ISI kills innocent civilians, treats women brutally, and glorifies violent actions against members of other religions. ISI wants to impose its own version of Islam on everyone, and those who refuse to accept it are either forced to convert or are killed. There is no evidence in traditional Islam that what they are doing is acceptable to Allah, nor does the Qur'an encourage violence against civilians.But that said, there are some conservative Muslims who do believe that ISI is correct, and who support their efforts. In countries like the United States, most Muslims find the ISI message shameful and they do not agree with it. But there are some Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Pakistan and elsewhere who feel they have been oppressed and they see the goal of an Islamic State as a positive one; and even if civilians or members of other religious groups are killed, as long as the ultimate goal is achieved, they are willing to go along with what ISI is doing.
What is the leader of the Muslim faith called?
It seems like the question is looking for the answer "Caliph". Caliphs used to be the "Pope of Sunni Islam". They were religious leaders and political leaders, although they were more often one than the other. (In the early period, the Rashidun Caliphs were both, the Umayyad and Abbassid Caliphs were more political than the religious, and the Seljuk and Ottoman Caliphs were more religious than political.) There has been no Caliph since the abolition of the Caliph in Istanbul by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in 1936. There are numerous varieties of religious non-political Islamic leaders such as Imams (Islamic Priests), Qadis (Islamic Judges), Mullahs (Islamic "Bishops"), Faqihs (Islamic Jurists), 'Alems (Islamic Scholars), Ayatollahs (Shiite Islamic "Patriarchs"), and Muftis (Islamic "Archbishops"). While they may at times have political power, like the Ayatollahs of Iran, their primary function is not political. Most Islamic scholars believe that there should be a divorce between the actual rulers and the Islamic religious leadership so that Islam cannot be blunted and warped to defend immoral political practices. There are also numerous varieties of political non-religious Islamic leaders such as Sultans, Kings, Emirs, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers, Governors, etc. While these individuals may have religious authority, this is not their primary function. An example of this religious function is that Sultan Suleiman I created an Ottoman Legal Code based on Qur'anic values which has been upheld by the Qadis and the Faqihs as a valid interpretation of Islamic Law.
