The Dutch bishop admitted that his suggestion was not likely to gain widespread acceptance. But he predicted that within a century or two, Dutch Catholics would be addressing prayers to "Allah." Unless something is done about those butchers, the Bishop might very well be right about this.

Okay, so in the Arabic New Testament, JESUS also prayed to Allah, saying Allah, Allah why have you forsaken me. Cool.

But...if they are DUTCH don’t the Holland Generations have a name for the CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH?

Considering immigration and birth rates of Arab Muslims in The Netherlands, the bishop is ahead of the curve.

A Dutch Catholic bishop has suggested that Christians should refer to God as "Allah" to promote better relations with Muslims. Don't think so, Hoss.

This is so easy. You know, the answers to these idiocies is always in scripture. I wish this guy would just read it.
(Moses) “Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?”
“God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
“God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you ‘ This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.”
I think if God had wanted to be called Allah he would have told Moses.

I don't think that the bishop has done his homework on the identity of Allah and Allah's attributes.
A side-by-side comparison would be revealing.
I believe that Allah is the devil himself.

Amsterdam, A Dutch Catholic bishop has suggested that Christians should refer to God as "Allah" to promote better relations with Muslims. Because this is online and virtual, he cannot at present feel the warmth spreading as I urinate on his frock.
