So, wait a minute! The Christians, Jews and Muslims all share the same god, but the Muslims in Malaysia don't want Christians using the word "Allah" anymore? A word that literally translates to "God?" Really?
From what I gathered from the article, the Christians of Malaysia use and have used the word Allah ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah ) for years and it's written into their Constitution that non-Muslims can use the term and yet now they're banning the use to appease radical Muslims? Really? Non-Muslims all over the world use the term "Allah," why is it such a big deal now? In Malaysia?
Is a rose not a rose, by any other name? Is Abraham's god, not Abraham's god, no matter what he, she or it is referred to?
