More Malaysian churches attacked in ‘Allah’ dispute
There have been more attacks on churches in Malaysia, in a growing dispute over the use of the word Allah by non-Muslims.
The police say petrol bombs were thrown at a church and a convent school in the state of Perak, and at a church in Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
Another church in the south of the country was daubed with black paint.
The attacks come days after four churches near the capital, Kuala Lumpur, were hit by petrol bombs.
Religious tensions in Malaysia have increased since a court ruled last month that a Roman Catholic newspaper could use the word Allah in its Malay-language edition to describe the Christian god. »»» BBC News
Allah himself, through the revelation given to the Prophet Muhamamad (peace be on him) plainly declares that Allah is the God of Muslims, Christians and Jews. The Roman Catholic Church has for over a thousand years declared through its Popes and its official documents that Christians, Jews and Muslims worship the same God. Someone in Malaysia is promoting this false debate in order to stir up ethic strife.
