what my country trying to protect is the ‘one and only god in Islam which is Allah’.and it is not ‘JUST A WORD’….
i wont comment anything in about other religion… what happen is… there’s been some abuse of the holy word. for example there is one Indonesian song which is sang by a Christian women and it is afraid that it will caused some disturbance in islamic society as a song can be quite influenced..

the lyric end like this ‘Sbab Allah Yesus ku’

translate to be——> because Allah is my Jesus…

before this.. they holy words has been misused several times..through blogging, videos n so on…. Malaysia is a multi-dynamic country with not only populated majority with Muslim but we live with chinese and Indian n few other majority Religious… for what is Worth, it is crucial taking steps to avoid Religious chaos as we in respect other religious independence..

Peace…….

The whole claim that the word Allah can only be used by certain people does not work in the langauge sense for in Indian /asian countries the word for God = Allah.
So if there are Christians, Catholics families who speak the countries language the word for God would be Allah. However this could cause confusion as it would not be esay to tell the difference between what people are saying but in some ways thats no different to the UK where many people make references to God but they all have different ideas,values and understandings of what God is to them but this does not necessarily have any similiarities with Christian teachings or the Bible. People partly construc their own ideas. So maybe having a voluntary guidance in asking people of non-muslim groups to change their language could help but at the same time no one should be sued as the Catholic church would obviously use Allah if it is related to their language they speak.
