"So now the Muslims – at least the ones in Malaysia – are setting churches on fire over non-Muslims use of the word “Allah.”
The Associated Press reported that unidentified attackers set fire to a Protestant church in that predominately Muslim country days after the High Court there struck down a 3-year-old ban on non-Muslims using the word “Allah” — the only word in the Malay language for God – in their literature.
The government has appealed the verdict, which allowed a Catholic publication to use the word. Muslims argue that “Allah” is exclusive to Islam, and its use by Christians would confuse Muslims and tempt them to convert to Christianity, according to the story.
This may be the most interesting part of the article.
First, I guess the Muslims would like everyone else to do like that singer Prince and create some shape – I don’t know – like &*%, symbolizing the deity formerly known as Allah, to refer to God."
