BN Is Destroying Religious Harmony In Malaysia By Irresponsibly And Deviously Exploiting Islam For Selfish Political Gain By Allowing The Word ‘Allah’ To Be Used By Christians In Sabah And Sarawak In Their Worship, Including In The Malay-Language Bible Al-Kitab, But Not In Peninsular Malaysia.<\/p>\n
BN is destroying religious harmony in Malaysia by irresponsibly and deviously exploiting islam for selfish political gain by allowing the word ‘Allah’ to be used by Christians in Sabah and Sarawak in their worship, including in the Malay-language bible Al-Kitab, but not in Peninsular Malaysia. This is the only conclusion to be made from Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Joseph Kurup surprising announcement as reported by Sin Chew Daily today on the cabinet decision yesterday.<\/p>\n
Joseph Kurup said the cabinet decided to fall back on the 10-point solution because this issue has created much dissatisfaction and worry among Sabah and Sarawak Christians. The 10-point solution allows for the importation into and printing of Bibles of any language in Malaysia including al-Kitab which uses the word \u2018Allah’. The question arises then is what about Sabahans and Sarawakians working in Peninsular Malaysia \u2013 are they permitted or banned from using \u201cAllah\u201d in Kuala Lumpur or Johor Baru?
\n\u00a0
\nClearly this Cabinet decision shows that the Home Ministry\u2019s decision to ban the use of the word \u201cAllah\u201d in the Catholic publication, \u201cThe Herald\u201d is not based on protecting the sanctity of Islam. Instead the proposed ban on the word \u201cAllah\u201d is a naked attempt to openly and directly infringe on the rights of non-Muslim of freedom of religion so that UMNO can score political points with Muslims and Malays.
\n\u00a0
\nBy permitting Allah to be used in Sabah and Sarawak, this is clear defensive electoral strategy designed to protect BN\u2019s political interests there as there are fewer Malays and Muslims in both states. BN is not bothered about religious harmony or religious values. If they are concerned about religious values they would have taken steps to combat and punish corruption. Instead corruption in Malaysia has deteriorated to such a level that Malaysia is declared as a world champion of corruption.
\n\u00a0
\nMany international Muslim commentators have also condemned the ban of the use of the word \u201cAllah\u201d for Christians or non-Muslims. \u00a0Indonesian daily Jakarta Post said there is no monopoly on the use of the word \u201cAllah\u201d and the \u00a0\u00a0Emirati newspaper The National from the Middle-East published an editorial condemning the Court of Appeal decision as “wrong”, arguing that \u2018Allah’ is freely used by non-Muslims in the Arab world.<\/p>\n
