Three Malaysian churches were attacked with firebombs, causing extensive damage to one, as Muslims pledged Friday to prevent Christians from using the word "Allah," escalating religious tensions in the multiracial country. Many Malay Muslims, who make up 60 percent of the population, are incensed by a recent High Court decision to overturn a ban on Roman Catholics using "Allah" as a translation for God in the Malay-language edition of their main newspaper, the Herald.
The government says Allah, an Arabic word that predates Islam, is exclusive to the faith and by extension to Malays. It refuses to make an exception, even though the Herald's Malay edition is read only by Christian indigenous tribes in the remote states of Sabah and Sarawak.
At Friday prayers at two main mosques in downtown Kuala Lumpur, young worshippers carried banners and gave fiery speeches, vowing to defend Islam.
"We will not allow the word Allah to be inscribed in your churches," one speaker shouted into a loudspeaker at the Kampung Bahru mosque. About 50 other people carried posters reading "Heresy arises from words wrongly used" and "Allah is only for us."
"Islam is above all. Every citizen must respect that," said Ahmad Johari, who attended prayers at the National Mosque. "I hope the court will understand the feeling of the majority Muslims of Malaysia. We can fight to the death over this issue."

The Chinese Malay will be thrilled. Usually the mobs, which like to spontaneously erupt every six months so, go and trash the nearest Chinese community.
“We will not allow the word Allah to be inscribed in your churches,”
“Heresy arises from words wrongly used” and “Allah is only for us.”
“I hope the court will understand the feeling of the majority Muslims of Malaysia. We can fight to the death over this issue.”
Uhmmm . . . and 200 miles north in the Thailand province of Yala, they (muslims) continue to kill Buddhist monks and walk into schools killing those who do no believe as they do.
Tell me, is there any American who really believes that Muslims behave as they do because . . . America occupies their land, oppress their people and oh yeah as O says, “they be mad at us because of Gitmo?”
ignorance abounds.
Why would they want to use that word anyway. Any association with islam is a BAD thing. I don’t care what translations are, they should use ANYTHING besides ‘allah’.
Wait. We must respect their “religion” and allow them to kill all “unbelievers”. Only thern can we be seen as truly civilized.
NOT!
What’s with these raghead morons????? Nothing a well-placed shot wouldn’t cure. What a total loser philosophy/religion mooslim beliefs are. TOTAL!
