[vinnomot] Dutch bishop says Christians should call God Allah

Well, the good thing some Indian Preist has not done the same, telling Hindus to start calling Krishna, Allah also. When are Dutch going to retire that senile Priest?

I think, its about the time.

Amsterdam, Aug 15, 2007 / 09:15 am (CNA).- Bishop
Martinus Muskens of Breda, Netherlands, suggested in
an interview with Radio Netherlands that Christians
should refer to God as Allah, which would promote
better relations with Muslims.

The 71-year-old bishop told the program that he
believes God doesn't mind what he is called. He
believes people are needlessly divided over the
different names used to refer to God.

The bishop, who had worked in Indonesia, noted that
even Christians use the term Allah for God there. The
Dutch should learn to get on spontaneously with
different cultures, religions and behavior patterns:

"Someone like me has prayed to Allah yang maha kuasa
(Almighty God) for eight years in Indonesia and other
priests for 20 or 30 years. In the heart of the
Eucharist, God is called Allah over there, so why
can't we start doing that together?" he was quoted as
saying.

Bishop Muskens admitted that he did not think his
suggestion would be welcomed readily and that it would
take about 100 years before Catholics would feel
comfortable calling God "Allah".
