Remember how we've exposed that Islam is a creation of the [color=red] Papacy. Remember Eric Jon Phelps when he exactly highlighted how Islam is based on ROMANISM. What right has any Roman Catholic stooge got to be in the once great PROTESTANT Dutch?????? Remember folks that it was a Jesuit by the name of, Bernard Staempfle SJ who wrote Mein Kampf. While we're at it I will once again highlight the fraud known as hiv which is a NON-existant made up virus, AIDS has many true cause(S) -Craig

Dutch bishop: Call God 'Allah' to ease relations

Roman Catholic leader stokes already heated debate on religion

AMSTERDAM - A Roman Catholic Bishop in the Netherlands has proposed people of all faiths refer to God as Allah to foster understanding, stoking an already heated debate on religious tolerance in a country with one million Muslims.

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.

"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."

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.

"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.

Gerrit de Fijter, chairman of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, told the paper he welcomed any attempt to "create more dialogue", but added: "Calling God 'Allah' does no justice to Western identity. I see no benefit in it."

A spokesman from the union of Moroccan mosques in Amsterdam said Muslims had not asked for such a gesture.

Religious tensions on the rise
Signs of tension had already surfaced in the last two weeks after the head of a committee for former Muslims was attacked and populist anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders called for the Koran to be banned.

Bishop Muskens, who will shortly retire, has raised eyebrows in the past with suggestions that those who are hungry may steal bread and that condoms should be permissible in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Some Dutch Muslims welcomed his comments as a valuable gesture of support coming just days after Wilders branded the Quran a "fascist book" in the vein of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" which legitimizes violence.

Wilders, whose new party won nine seats out of the 150 in parliament in last November's elections, is well known for his firebrand remarks on Islam.

He said an attack by two Moroccans and a Somali on the head of a Dutch group for "ex-Muslims" had spurred him to write.

Issues of immigration and integration had faded from the Dutch political agenda over the last year, after a period of unprecedented social tension sparked by the 2004 murder of Theo Van Gogh, a filmmaker critical of Islam, by a Muslim militant.

I would like to add to your statement Shaun.

See how they don't mind you worshiping other "god(s)"?
As what they see as "(G-g)od(s)", it really doesn't matter which Being people are made to worship, as long as it isn't the True Father of us all, whose name IS YAHWEH.

Give credit to whom credit is due.

<>< = Philistinian fish god "Dagon" (Modern day Palestine). Christians mistake it as a "christian" symbol.

(image of the cross= with or without the Messiah on it)
Not only is it an occultic symbol of death, but the cross itself is in a letter "T". Meaning "Tammuz" or Nebuchanezzer (sic) the ancient Babylonian King or "god". His head was carved on bulls bodies with wings added, signifying deity or "god-hood".

In some of the cathedrals, you may see an upside down dove with or without an olive branch. This signifies war. In actuality, when the dove returned to Noah on the ark, in its beak was a freshly picked green ear of barley. This green ear of barley signifies the beginning of Yahweh's Holy calendar in which The Passover, Pentecost, Tabernacles and The Last Great Day is observed. Other Holy Days are included but the most known were listed.

Yahweh bless you all
