   [1]Presented for your perusal without further comment.

     A church and Christian newspaper in Malaysia are suing the
     government after it decreed that the word "Allah" can only be used
     by Muslims.

     In the Malay language "Allah" is used to mean any god, and
     Christians say they have used the term for centuries.

     Opponents of the ban say it is unconstitutional and unreasonable.
     [...] There has been no official government comment but
     parliamentary opposition leader Lim Kit Siang said the decision to
     ban the word for non-Muslims on security grounds was "unlawful".
     "The term 'Allah' was used to refer to God by Arabic-speaking
     Christians before Arabic-speaking Muslims existed," he said.

   Well, one comment: obviously, the ban is wrong and any muslim
   supporting it is an idiot.
