Maybe this Bishop bumped his head right before he said this?

Why would a Roman Catholic Bishop say this?

Crazy. Hopefully he gets a nice reprimand from Pope Benedict.

Muslims worship something but it isn’t God.

Time for Ratzinger to call in this sheep home to pasture and give him a job counting candles in Rome or something....

Let’s call the bishop ‘Satan’s Disciple.’

"It reinforces the fact that Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same God,"


I hate it when someone says that. I do not worship the same God as Muslims. I find their religion very suspect and parts of it border on Satanic.

Allah is the islamic god's (ilah) NAME, it isn't another word meaning "god". The Koran even says this 52 times.

Qur'an 20:14 "Verily, I am Allah. No Ilah (God) may be worshiped but I. So serve you Me, and perform regular prostration prayer for My praise. Verily the Hour is coming. I am almost hiding it from Myself."

Who is "allah"? Seems quite clear:

Qur'an 114:1 "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men and jinn [demons], the King of men and jinn, the Ilah (God) of men and jinn."

No, I won't say that. I will say Allah is Satan.

The Twelfth Thread. He’s getting more attention here than everywhere else together in the entire world.

“Dutch Bishop Tells Christians to Call God ‘Allah’”

Christians tell Dutch bishop to STHU.

I can’t think of anything that can destroy the validity of an FR thread, nor distract from it’s importance, quicker than quoting Hal Lindsey.
