Alamak!

Reading about our neighbouring country Malaysia and it's religious turmoil over the use of the term "allah" by non-muslims is pretty amusing. First, the government bans its use by non-muslims, apparently due to the fact that muslims are easily misled or might misunderstand any such references in any form or perhaps even in conversation and thus lead them astray. I guess these adherents of islam have just admitted to being rather ignorant and naive even in their own knowledge and beliefs, that a simple reference can cause such confusion.

The courts then overturn the ban, pointing out that it is unconstitutional. The government appeals and the ban is reinstated again. Drama!

There is an easy solution, why not ban muslims from using the term "God", along with the ban on non-muslims using "allah"?

Simple, isn't it? That way, no one would ever be confused. Once and for all, in Malaysia at least, everyone will not misundestand and get misled into linking allah to God, and God to allah. Wouldn't that just be peachy?

Malaysia Boleh! Come on, you can do it. :-P

Lest any ignoramus fails to read the ridiculous within this post, and tries to imply within their own feeble minds, some kind of "hate" is present here. I am simply pointing out the sheer idiocy of a government stirring up religious sentiments all by their own able selves.
