Why not, instead, have the Muslims use the English term "God"? This bishop of Breda, who served for eight years in Indonesia, shows no signs of having bethought himself then or in the years since, about the mistreatment and murder of Christians in the Moluccas or elsewhere at the hands of Muslims in Indonesia. One wonders when, and from whom -- was it in Indonesia? was it back in the Netherlands, in Breda? -- he absorbed and internalized the attitudes of the classic islamochristian, the dhimmi who continues to call himself a "Christian" but, having had a close encounter with Islam, aggressive and sure of itself and on the march wherever possible, can think of no response except to give in, to pretend that the apologists are right, that there really is no difference between these "three abrahamic faiths" save for a little matter of naming of parts, the biggest part being that played by God, who this dramaturge/bishop thinks might be better played by "Allah."

""Why not call God Allah" plaintively pleads the soon-to-be-put-out-to-pasture Bishop, as his mental powers are clearly failing -- dementia praecox --  and he is no longer capable of tending his flock but has become a baa-baa black sheep of the Church himself as he sheepishly calls for a pre-emptive surrender to Islam, which he allows himself to believe is merely a matter of a nomenclatorial substitution without significance.

Call it the Entreaty of Breda.
