Let’s just not.

[struggle]

Lets just call Mohammed “Pedophile, rapist, genocidal, slave trader” then.

a. Granted this is an old article, but considering some of the comments I have seen made by Roman Catholics on FR over the last couple of days the content is very relevant.

b. Starting out by calling me a “Catholic hater” just proves you have no argument, or agree with the bishop and must resort to character assassination.

[ConorMacNessa]

Not unly no, but H-E-Double Hockeystick NO!!

I worship the Three-Personed God of Christianity!



"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I have a better idea!

Let the Mooslims call Allah "God."

[null and void]

Yeah. That’s working sooooo well in Indonesia.

[RitaOK]

Death to anyone who is not Muslim, but who would dare to call God, “Allah”.

Oh,....that was last week. Now, they like it. Who knew?

[mountainlion]

Allah is the middle east moon god. Why should we change the God, The Master of the Universe, in for a small thing like the moon?

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

It's not just a "little fine-tuning" that is needed. The Bishop is spiritually ignorant and is quite likely not a true born again Christian.

The truth is that "Allah" is another name for satan, the liar, the deceiver, the enemy of the church and all that is good.

[HapaxLegamenon]

Christians who are Arabic speakers speak of Allah when they speak of God, Hooper added. `There's not a theological leap to make on the part of Christians,' Hooper said.

Sed Contra

For non-Arabic speakers to use the name Allah for the God of the Blessed Trinity implies an acceptance of Islam. Christians cannot accept the basic tenet of Islam (which is "There is no God but Allah and Mohamed is his greatest prophet") and remain Christian.

[skeeter]

There’re a lot of people these days calling themselves clergy who haven’t the slightest idea what they are talking about.

[Old Sarge]

a retiring Dutch bishop having either a senior moment or revealing his universalism--is proposing that people of all faiths simply refer to God as "Allah."

Welcome to Enigma Babylon One World Faith.

[Jeff Chandler]

God doesn't care what he is called.

I think I'll call Him "Ray".

[GeronL]

What a moronic dhimmi to come up with something like that

[StonyBurk]

Never be a knight-nor a King—ever a disgraced Bishop.I AM that I AM is NOT the bloody false god of Islam.

[windsorknot]

They are not the same god. Mohammedans reject the God of the Bible.

[lbryce]

We have a winner!

[metmom]

It certainly falls in line with the Catechism of the Catholic church, so there’s no surprise there.
