Dutch bishop suggests calling God "Allah" to ease tensions

It's one thing to believe that the Christian God and Allah are not the same devine entity, but apparently most of the nimrods opposed to the Bishop's suggestion believe that "God" is God's name.

According to Judeo-Christian tradition (and perhaps doctrine), God's name is neither to be spoken nor written by the unclean masses. So why not called God "Allah" if it promotes some sort of compassion between Jews, Christians and Muslims?

(Just don't call him Jehovah, or god-forbid, Yaweh. Ooops, now I've done it. Straight to hell I go.)
