Christianity Notches a Win in Malaysia

A partial win, I must say, as the Malaysian government gives and takes.

At the heart of the matter was the Catholic newspaper, Herald, using the world "Allah" (means God in the Malay language). The government argues that using the word Allah confuses the majority Muslims in the country about which God is which! Luckily the Malaysian High Court had more sense and didn't bow to government pressure by declaring that Herald could continue to use the word Allah in its publication but with the phrase "Only for Christians" printed boldly on the first page.

The majority Muslim led Malaysian government is so scared of the minority Christians in the country to the extent that its trying its best to slam the Christians at every opportunity.

I am glad that there are some Malaysian Muslims who are quite broad minded. Unfortunately, their in the minority. The Malaysian government on the other hand is a sorry bunch of scared people.
