Allah means God?
Not to the Malaysians. They are prohibiting the use of the word Allah for God in the Christian Bibles in that country.

"Allah means God?
It's a PC trick..."allah" is their god, but s/he is NOT our God.
If they tell us he was just "worshipping 'god'", they are skewing the argument to make those who oppose the murderous thugs feel like if we oppose "their god", then we are supposed to be opposing our God.
More liberal wordsmithing to propagandize the ignorant...don't fall for it. Their god could be the devil, and from the killing, terrorism, and evil eminating from these people, I suspect it is.
Their "allah" might be their "god", but he is NOT GOD.

Not to the Malaysians. They are prohibiting the use of the word Allah for God in the Christian Bibles in that country. They write Christian Bibles for Malaysia in Arabic? Seems odd. Malaysians, even Muslim ones, don't regularly speak Arabic, anymore than Pre 60s Catholics spoke Latin, or Eastern Orthodox Christians speak Greek in everyday life. According to the CIA Malysians speak: "Bahasa Malaysia (official), English, Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, Hakka, Hainan, Foochow), Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Panjabi, Thai". So why would they need "AllaH". (about 60% of them are Muslim, and probably read/memorize the Koran in Arabic, but the Christians wouldn't know Arabic anyway).
