Bishop urges Christians to call God ‘Allah’
Muskens thinks it could take another 100 years, but eventually the name Allah will be used by Dutch churches, promoting rapprochement between the two religions, he said, according to Radio Netherlands. ~worldnetdaily.com
For those ignorant of the history of jihad, dhimmitude is the status of infidels who submit to muslim rule and are allowed to live as non-muslims under the caliphate. Our new Muslim overlords will no doubt eventually tire of beheading infidels (kufir) and allow some of us to live. Thus the status of dhimmitude becomes useful.
Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to indigenous non-Muslim populations who surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination. Islamic conquests expanded over vast territories in Africa, Europe and Asia, for over a millennium (638-1683). The Muslim empire incorporated numerous varied peoples which had their own religion, culture, language and civilization. For centuries, these indigenous, pre-Islamic peoples constituted the great majority of the population of the Islamic lands. Although these populations differed, they were ruled by the same type of laws, based on the shari’a.
This similarity, which includes also regional variations, has created a uniform civilization developed throughout the centuries by all non-Muslim indigenous people, who were vanquished by a jihad-war and governed by shari’a law. It is this civilization which is called dhimmitude. It is characterized by the different strategies developed by each dhimmi group to survive as non-Muslim entity in their Islamized countries. Dhimmitude is not exclusively concerned with Muslim history and civilization. Rather it investigates the history of those non-Muslim peoples conquered and colonized by jihad. ~dhimmitude.org
However, the Bishop apparently made a redeeming comment, “The bishop also has offended Muslims, saying in 2005 Islam was a religion without a future because it has too many violent aspects.”
