Dutch Bishop's 'Allah' Comments Draw Reaction

Recently Bishop Martinus "Tiny" Muskens of Breda suggested that we should all begin referring to God as "Allah"....

And, as expected, his statements have generated quite a reaction. MSNBC reports:
A survey in the Netherlands' biggest-selling newspaper De Telegraaf on Wednesday found 92 percent of the more than 4,000 people polled disagreed with the bishop's view, which also drew ridicule.

Ridiculous suggestions deserve ridiculous responses, and more. This comment might even be prophetic considering the state of Christianity in many parts of Europe:
"Sure. Lets call God Allah. Lets then call a church a mosque and pray five times a day. Ramadan sounds like fun," Welmoet Koppenhol wrote in a letter to the newspaper.

Regretably, many may be calling their churches 'mosques' before long.
