Catholic churches in the Netherlands should use the name Allah for God to ease tensions between Muslims and Christians, says a Dutch bishop. Tiny Muskens, the bishop of Breda, told the Dutch TV program "Network" Monday night he believes God doesn't mind what he is called, Radio Netherlands Worldwide reported.

'Allah' is just the Arabic word for 'God'. Neither 'Allah' nor 'God' is his real name, it's just a title like 'The President'.
For a westerner to call God 'Allah' shows that he realizes that the Muslim and Christian Gods are the same God! I think it's a very nice gesture!

Well, if a Christian is speaking English and calls God Allah, then it doesn't make a lot of sense since Allah just means god. That would be the same as me speaking in English and then calling God Dios which is the word in Spanish. I think that believers in God have more to worry about.

Jews, Christians, and Muslims all worship the one true God of Abraham.
Allah is God in Arabic.
The language does not matter:
+ God in English
+ Allah in Arabic
+ Dios in Spanish
+ Dieu in French
Remember God is the title or role and not God's name which is an entirely different discussion.
With love in Christ.

Arab Christians and Muslims and Yahuudi, (or who you call Jew because of the Hoax of the Bible and the impact of the Crusades on Islam of the Arabs), be responsive to the call of the only genuine God of monotheism to be Allah. The Arabic for god or diety is ilah. Christians, whether Arab or no longer, do no longer worship Allah yet worship an ilah in a Trinity, however the Arab Christians utter what Allah condemns as blasphemy interior the Quran and nevertheless carry close to to Allah in oreder purely to seal their infidelity. I as quickly as spoke to an Arab Christian who claimed to me that they, the Arab Christians have been the genuine Christians, asserting they have been Nazaaraa, yet as quickly as I reminded him that Christ is Masih in Arabic and asked him how then can Nazaaraa be Christian or "of the Christ", he grow to be silenced, no longer understanding his very own mom tongue. easily, Christianity is fake worship and may be able to on no account be defined as trut in spite of the actuality that some converts to Islam declare they have become genuine Christians by employing transforming into Muslim.

The God of Abraham,Isaac,and Jacob of the old
Testament are definitely not the same.It is a
blasphemy against our one true God to even assume this false belief.
Allah is a moon god,very much pagan. This god
was worshiped in the time of Abraham.Then
about six centuries later along comes Mohammed and adopts this moon god called Allah.Check out the symbol on every Muslim
masqu.The moon symbol.

The pope is led by satan and allah is just another name for satan!
And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” Ex. 3:14
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:58
I and My Father are one. John 10:30
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Col. 2:9
God has many names. Yeshua, Jesus, I AM, Yahweh, Adoni, Savior, etc. None of these names are allah! Christians no matter was their former beliefs were are to address God as He is addressed in the Bible. Allah isn't in the Bible!

Im all for calling God Allah, but I call my God Jesus cause noone can get to the father or Allah except thru Jesus no matter how many times a day you pray to Allah. But God promised Abraham he would take care of them he just didnt promise him they'd go to heaven

Easy to answer: a civilized person calls a 'god' the name which its followers use: Allah to Muslims and others of the Islamic faith. Truly, it isn't rocket science.

If those Christians speak Arabic, sure. What should happen is for English speaking Muslims to call their god "God" instead of using Arabic.
