The fun continues, as BBC now has done a documentary on Bishop Tiny Muskens (great name for a bishop, eh?) and his call for Christians to make peace with Muslims by calling God “Allah.”  Curt Jester has a rundown of all the pertinent information.  Here’s a sample:

But debating the merits of Muskens’ suggestion misses the larger point here. Muskens makes it sound as if the problems in Muslim–Catholic relations were merely silly arguments about semantics that distract from the truly important things on which we all agree. In fact, there is a serious, substantive problem dominating Christian–Muslim relations at the moment, the same problem that dominates Muslim–Jewish, Muslim–Buddhist, Muslim–Hindu, and Muslim–Orthodox relations, and that problem is that Muslim fanatics keep murdering innocents of all faiths, including their own, in terror attacks.

Brilliant, eh?  Does anyone really think that radical Islamists won’t want to fly planes into buildings if we just refer to God by His Arabic name?  Silly.
