In August, I told you about an idea put forth by the Bishop of Breda (Netherlands) Tiny Muskens who said that Christians should pray to Allah because "that will promote rapprochement between the two religions" (rapprochement is defined as the "reestablishment of harmonious relations."). I still think the idea is crap. After all, it hasn't worked out so well for Sunnis and Shiites nor Hamas and Fatah, all of whom pray to Allah and yet still somehow find it in their Islamo-fascist hearts to kill each other. But apparently Muslims don't like the idea of Christians calling God "Allah" either! In fact, CNS News is reporting today:
"The government of Muslim-majority Malaysia will not renew a Catholic newspaper's license to publish unless it stops using the word 'Allah' to denote God."
Is this the "rapprochement" you were going for, Bishop?
