Malaysia to Streamline Rules on Non-Muslims Using the Word ‘Allah’: PM Anwar
Channel News Asia ^ | 23 May 2023 | Rhea Yasmine Alis Haizan Najmi Syahiran Mamat

The Malay rulers had decided that the word "Allah" cannot be used by non-Muslims in the Peninsula while conditional usage is allowed in the Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Tuesday (May 23) that the government will streamline conflicting regulations regarding the use of the word “Allah” by non-Muslims.

This is so that the regulations will be in line with the Malay rulers’ earlier decision that “Allah” cannot be used by non-Muslims in the Peninsula while conditional use is permitted for non-Muslims in the Borneo states.

“What needs to be done … is for the government to streamline (the rules) so that there are no regulations that are seen to be in conflict with the decisions of the Malay rulers,” said Mr Anwar in parliament during the Minister's Question Time (MQT).

‘“Allah” cannot be used by non-Muslims...’

Well, you have to say the word “Allah” to speak the profession of faith and become a Muslim. So I guess that means there won’t be too many new converts in Malaysia.

Screw the muslems. I will say or not say what I want.

You cant compel me say what I dont want to
and you cant keep me quiet when I know the truth,
so I guess we are at a serious impasse.

How about “mohammed”? As in: “Wow! I just dropped a huge mohammed in the toilet just now, and it’s really stinking up the place.”

They aren’t considered converts, they are called reverts, because they say all people are originally Muslim.

Interesting. Because Arabic speaking Christians say "Allah".

Literally it means "the God" exactly translating "ho Theos" in the Greek New Testament.

It's all according to context. Ho Theos could be Phoebus Apollo or Zeus in pagan Greek writings. And "Allah" was the chief deity of the Meccan pantheon before Muhammad.

It literally means “The God” in Arabic. Although written, the “L” has a littlw w shaped diacritic mark making the pronunciation more guttural. It’s not a name and I doubt Muslims own a copyright.

Does this mean infidel ex-pats can’t say “insha’allah to each other?

Not that we ever did that.

Exactly, what God would reward young jihadis with 72 whores for eternity? What God would make heaven a cat house, replete with little boys, so many they’re like strings of pearls scattered across the floor?
That aint God, that’s the other guy.

Let’s talk about the recycled virgins.

What god would make the 72 virgins bi sexual and or lesbians for eternity? Where are their rights??? What would their families think?

If anything, it’s a pirates heaven which was not created by God.
