The Christian calendar can be seen as two things.
This year is 2006 AD
but to non-Christians it is 2006 CE
CE stands for Common Era. This represents that as well as it being 2006 years since Jesus, the number 2006 is also just a number and even if you do not believe in Jesus you can use this date just as a date and not an anniversary. So 2006 CE is a non-Christian way of saying 2006 AD.

The Gregorian solar calendar year 2006 is embedded inside 2 years (1426 - 1427 A.H.) of the Islamic lunar calendar years.

I'm happy to use any referance point as a starter, could now be in 2006 or 34,543, for all it matters.
If the decision has been made to have the start date derived from a fictitous story its fine by me !

I don't know about Islam, but the Buddhist year is 2549, making Thailand (for example) 543 years, 7 hours ahead of GMT.
