Well, it has already begun. Now they need to march out the Pope and some Islamic "leaders" along with some TV evangelists to promote it.
I'm sure the pope will be first in line, probably before the end of the month. Pretty much anything he says publicly goes directly against church canon and this will be no different, in fact I'm almost certain that is why the last pope stepped down and he was chosen to replace him to begin with.
It should be fairly east among Catholics, as they believe "canon" is made up of both scripture and "traditions", and the Pope can redefine "traditions" at will. It would also be fairly easy among Protestants because - although they believe only in "sola scriptura", scripture only - they also believe that just about any old translation will do, and the re-write could be (as it has been in hte past) introduced as a "new translation along the lines of "The New World Translation" of Jehovah's witnesses, "The Living Bible" of Progressive churches, or even an addition such as "The Book of Mormon" amog LDS.
Muslims would be a tougher nut to crack. They're pretty jealous of guarding their Qur'an since the last time it was changed back in the 7th or 8th century. matter of fact, they don't consider any translation at all to be "Qur'an" - it has to be in Arabic, or else they don't consider it a real Qur'an.
