Christians insist they worship same god as Muslims

[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.
