Malay Muslims in Malaysia are an illogical, paranoid, irrational and bigoted lot.
From the thugs that fire-bombed churches, to educated students at college campuses, to supposedly learned fellows at Islamic institutions on up to those in high government positions.
They are an illogical and irrational lot because history, context and accuracy in translation from from one language to another do not matter.
They are a paranoid lot because when indigenous Christians use the term “Allah” in their publications and worship they see secret attempts and a hidden agenda by Christians at proselytization of Muslims, a challenge to the sanctity of Islam and a de-Islamisation of the make-up of the country.
They are a bigoted lot because they want exclusive rights to the term “Allah”. The fact that language which is a medium of communication and is accessible to all, means nothing to them.
No, in Malaysia, the Malay Muslims MUST have exclusive right to “Allah”! Don’t the rest of you dare use it too!
