Christians banned from saying 'Allah'

A Malaysian newspaper is reporting that Christians in that Muslim nation are being banned from using the word "Allah."

"We cannot let other religions use it because it will confuse people," Malaysia's Deputy Internal Security Minister, Johari Baharum, told the DNAIndia publication.

He said "only Muslims can use the word 'Allah.'"

The issue erupted when a Catholic publication used the now-banned-for-Christians word.

Herald, the Catholic Church's weekly newsletter, used the word and was warned it is at risk now of losing its publication permit.

Christians can just say the Chinese word for Allah - Arrah.

It’s so nice to see the religion of peace promoting tolerance toward the Christian minority. I think it’s time for Christian countries to reciprocate this treatment for their own moslum population.

“One notes, as a matter of sociology, that Islam in its current incarnation seems to offer a larger pool of stupid angry men than other world religions”

“Ah, ok. So c’mon guys, think of another name for the Muslim god.”

Ba’al.

Here is a thought. If a person wishes to convert to Islam, they must say the name of Allah when saying the prayer of conversion. This ban prohibits Christians from converting because they would have to say the name.

How’s about callin’ him Satan? Devil? Dragon? Ol’ Nick? De Serpent?

How’s about jest plain ol’ “Allah de Above”, who will soon descend to de earth here below, when he be kicked in de butt right outta Heaven by Michael, at God’s command.

When dat happen, den Woe, Woe, Woe to dem on de earth here below, less’n they’s got God’s Seal.

I don’t get it. I understand Arab Jews, Arab Christians, Druze, etc. using Allah for God because their language is Arabic. But Malay is the language of Malaysia, not Arabic.

From what I know, dewa & tuhan are the words for God in Malay. Why the hell are they using Arabic?
