Christians banned from saying 'Allah'
WND ^ | 12-29-2007 | staff

A Malaysian newspaper is reporting that Christians in that Muslim nation are being banned from using the word "Allah."

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

He said "only Muslims can use the word 'Allah.'"

The issue erupted when a Catholic publication used the now-banned-for-Christians word.

Herald, the Catholic Church's weekly newsletter, used the word and was warned it is at risk now of losing its publication permit.

You beat me to it!

Well we Christians have been saying all along that Allah is not the same god. They have now finally admitted it.

Arabic-speaking Christians use the name Allah to refer to the God they worship, and have for almost 1500 years. For all I know, they did the same before the time of Mohammed.

It’s ok, when I say “allah” I’m not talking about the muslim god. Every morning I go to the bathroom and take a big old allah, then flush it away.

Are you sure? Couldn’t have been “poobah”? Maybe it’s “Tra la”, or “Haha”? Maybe it is “Simbah”, you know like in the Lion King.
