Let’s Call God "Allah"

I posted this story last week but have not had time to respond. Let's fix that!

Tiny Muskens, a Dutch Roman Catholic Bishop in Amsterdam, released a nifty idea. Muskens, well-known for stupidity aplenty, came up with a fresh game plan of which he said would aid the Dutch, yea, the entire world in getting along with Muslims Gone Wild. Tiny proposed "that people of all faiths refer to God as Allah to foster understanding."

Let's ponder that a moment......

According to The Associated Press, Bishop Tiny Muskens, from the southern diocese of Breda, told Dutch television on Monday that "God did not mind what He was named and that in Indonesia [where Muskens spent eight years] priests used the word ‘Allah’ while celebrating Mass . . . The first Mass I hear "Allah" mentioned, you will hear my tires screeching out of the parking lot about 2 seconds later!

Muskins says Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on? We will name God ‘Allah’ . . . What does God care what we call Him? It is our problem."

I’ve got two problems with that sir:

The Catholic Church in Indonesia is not the pace car for Christian conduct. Hello. . . . Of course Catholics in Indonesia are going to call God ‘Allah’-there are two of them and 234,693,997 Muslims. I’m guessin’ that the Catholics over there are worried about staying alive! If a group of men wearing red and all baring rather large tatoos the say "Bloods" ask me if I'm cheering for the the Bloods or the Crips guess what, I'm a huge Bloods fan! Unless of course they wear blue and have Crips tattos, then Crips is my answer. Catholics in Indonesia do it? Please.

God doesn’t mind what we call Him, eh? What god are you talking about? Are you talking about the god of fearful and capitulating chunky Dutch priests? If so, I’m sure that such a squishy, imaginary, nutless diety that one’s made up in his fetid and feckless fermented mind is completely cool with such a craven course of action.

Listen, Tiny, God’s name/names are significant. Remember the "hallowed be Thy name" stuff the real Jesus taught in the Bible? I assume you had to at least scan the scripture at one time before you got that collar and started going around saying such stupid things in public.

Listen, Father Feelgood, do a little word search regarding God’s name and see if He cares what you call Him before you queue up with your craziness.You will quickly find in this little exercise that God’s name[s] denote His nature, His character, His person and His work. Much like yours, Señor Muskens.

Why stop with just a simple name change, Tiny? Let’s remodel everything we do to suit radical Muslims. I mean, we don’t want to upset them now, do we? To foster peace and Rodney Kingishness [can’t we all get along?] we could do things such as . . .

Start calling our churches mosques.
We could called Jesus Bob. No one can be offended by the name Bob.
Yank the steeples off the roofs of our churches and replace them with gold domes.
Start circumcising our young girls.
Start killing homosexuals, adulterers and thieves.
Start oppressing women.
Fling open our borders.
Disband the TSA, NSA, FBI and CIA.
Start hating Israel.
Start hating America.
Grow long beards.
Scrap Christmas for a Mohammed’s Birthday Blow Out Bonanza.
Replace Easter with Ramadan.
Bring on the burkhas.
Become liberals.
All of a sudden those that are stll alive are Muslim and they all can't wait to die and get their 72 virgins.
I'm not going for your peace plan Tiny.
