Malaysian Church

A High Court ruling overturning a government ban on the use of Allah by non-Muslims has raised concerns among Muslim groups that by using a name so closely associated with Islam, Christians are trying to win converts.

Here, Muslims and Christians in Malaysia discuss the issues behind the attacks.

We need to be praying for them. It is strange that they are prohibiting them from using this word.  As it simply means "God". Arabic speaking Christians, and Jews both use the term for God as well - and have since before Islam.

Sounds just like an attempt to intimidate the Church there.

I pray that God will help His followers and guide them in the use of His Holy name, where ever they may be.
