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.

WTF!!!

[rovenstinez]

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

[KingSnorky]

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

[Red Badger]

Well, if you’re Cztholic, I guess you can pray to Allah.......

[wastedyears]

The Pope isn’t going to like that.

[Nervous Tick]

“Pray to Allah? Go to hell!”

DEATH FIRST!!!!!! I will never submit to them or their false prophet.

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.

[I still care]

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.

Pray to your shoe, you’ll get better results.

[Bosco]

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.

[L,TOWM]

What a dummie dhimmi!

[O6ret]

he predicted that within a century or two, Dutch Catholics would be addressing prayers to "Allah."

At current birth rates there won't be any Dutch catholics in a "century or two"

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Allah is pig. Allah is made of pork. Allah is porcine.

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.

Geez, what a jackass! How did this jerk ever get a big hat?

This Bishop is obviously an idiot who hasn't read the bible or the Koran.

"Allah" is not a word meaning "God" nor is it the same deity.

"Allah" is the name of the Islamic "god"; the arabic word for god is "ilah"

The true God of the bible is "Yahweh" which does not translate to "Allah", just as the name "Peter" does not translate to "Anthony" in any language.

The God of the bible is a loving God, The Ilah of the Koran is a murdering, hateful 'ilah", the complete opposite, which means it is SATAN.

This "Bishop" needs to have his head examined. Plus he needs to re-read the bible about caving in to cares of the world, and abandoning faith in the WORD.

[Smokin' Joe]

Apostate.

...And, I’m well aware that certain ancient eastern rites call God Allah and have done so for centuries prior to the birth of mohammed the child rapist. But the bishop didn’t say that we should call God Allah to get closer to Eastern Catholics...he said to do to get closer to islam.
