My Way News - 3 Malaysian churches attacked in 'Allah' dispute: "Religious tensions in Muslim-majority Malaysia turned violent Friday with firebomb attacks on three churches following a court decision that allows Christians to translate God as Allah. [...] The ruling also applies to the ban's broader applications, such as Malay-language Bibles, 10,000 copies of which were recently seized by authorities because they translated God as Allah."
Comment: In a bizarre turn of events, followers of Islam in Malaysia are insisting that "Allah" is only for them and should not be used by Christians to refer to God. They make a very good point. That said, it's unfortunate that they are attacking churches and seizing Bibles to make their point.
