Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

What's In a Name?

(Fox News) - A Dutch Catholic bishop says Christians should refer to God as "Allah" in order to have better relations with Muslims.

Bishop Martinus Muskens told a Dutch TV show — "God doesn't really care how we address Him."

He says Christians in predominantly Muslim Indonesia already call God "Allah." And he predicts that within a century or two — Dutch Christians will be doing the same thing.

Muskens says God is above what he calls "discussion and bickering" over his name. He says the name issue is something humans invented .. in order to argue about it.

Hey, that's a great idea. Then we can start calling Jesus Mohammed and pretty soon we won't need that bad old Christian label.

Not only is the bishop an idiot, he's also a dhimmi.
