The suicide bombings that ripped apart the U.N. headquarters building in Algiers on Dec. 11 and killed at least 37 people, including 17 U.N. employees, provided a bloody demonstration of the United Nations' emergence as a key target in al-Qaeda's global war against the West.
Allah is only for Muslims Malaysian official says
A senior government official in Malaysia has ordered a Catholic newspaper to drop the use of the word “Allah” in its Malay language section if it wants its publishing permit renewed, the Associated Press reports.
The Herald, published by Malaysia’s Catholic Church, has translated the word God as “Allah.” Che Din Yusoff, a senior official at the Internal Security Ministry’s publications control unit, has said this usage is erroneous because “Allah” refers to the Muslim God.
"Christians cannot use the word Allah. It is only applicable to Muslims. Allah is only for the Muslim god. This is a design to confuse the Muslim people," Che Din told the Associated Press.
Thank you MamaDearest.
In my opinion, jihadis look for soft targets and it seems that they think the UN is a soft target.

OPINION:
I agree with Mr. Din that allah is the god of Muslims.
I disagree with Mr. Din that “Christians cannot use the word Allah.”
Allah can and should be used (by Christians and others) when citing the Quran or referring to whom Muslims worship.
It should be noted that Christians and Jews worship God.
