Should names such as these be changed because some consider them offensive and inflamatory?

We've done away with God in the U.S. why not replace with Allah?

Jefferson davis and robert E lee were great men. Sure they have that huge negative of slavery on them but it was a different time with different values and one mistake, which conformed to those values at the time, does'nt make them evil as a whole. As far as should they change the name? I guess if it upsets people why not? It's easier to get along pursueing more neutral historical fiqures so be it. It's not that hard. Almost everyone agrees Lincoln was a great president. The muslim stuff is the same. Change it to wolverines or something.
