Must Not Say “Allah”!

The following news got me so confused that I had to read it twice to make sure my English skills aren’t failing me:

Via Jerusalem Post - Christians banned from saying “Allah”

A Malaysian church and a Christian weekly newspaper are suing the government for banning them from using the word “Allah,” alleging that the prohibition is unconstitutional and against freedom of religion.

The move follows the government’s declaration that “Allah” - which means God in the Malay language - refers to the Muslim God and can only be used by Muslims.

These are the first legal challenges against the mainly Muslim government’s decision, and they come amid minority groups’ increasing concerns that their rights are being trampled upon.

One German Jew (Albert Einstein) once said,“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe”

WorldNetDaily reports:

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

Oh, glad that we got the record straight on that one now. It’s funny how Western publishers, journalists, bloggers, historians and politicians who even suggest to distinguish the word “Allah” from the usual Judeo-Christian conception of “God” are accused of xenophobia, hatred, racism and every other interfaith or interracial sin. But hey, normal rules don’t apply when Muslims commit an act of terrorism, racism or plain stupidity. We should be “tolerant” so that we could all “leave in peace”

So, since the Malay Christians cannot use the word “Allah”, how should they refer to the Muslim god?

Here are a few suggestions:

“The Most Terroriceouness”

” The Devourer Of Infidels”

“The Guardian of 72 Virgins”

“The Most Unmerficful”

“The Spiritual Leader of the World’s Most Famous Paedophile”

Any other suggestions?
