Well sadly enough shit is begiinning to hit the fence!!

Malaysian have done it again true to the Malaysia Boleh! proclamation we are now out to burn churches and any other houses of worship ( which are actually houses of God) if they too are found to use the word Allah! It is pathetic to see how decadent the human mind has stooped itself to become subjecting itself to such mockery despite claiming ourselves to be civilized!!

What is the big deal in using the word if it is used in a positive and reverence context by anyone so long as it is not abused to undermine Islam through derogatory application of the word. And who for goodness sakes would want to besmears the name of the AlMighty even if it is understood to be that of the Muslim faith unless it for the sake of destruction of society at its very fabric.

Now we have church burnings, tomorrow what? Mosques? Hindu temples? Sikh temples, Buddhist temples?



Does it Mean God?

The word "Allah" is the perfect description of the "One God" of monotheism for Jews, Christians and Muslims!

Is "Allah" only for Islam and Muslims?[No! It is for All Three Abrahamic Faiths.]"Allah" is the same word used by Christian Arabs and Jewish Arabs in their Bible, centuries before Islam came.On page one [1] of Genesis in the Old Testament, we find the word "Allah" seventeen [17] times.Every hotel and motel has a Bible. Next time you see one look in the introduction, you will find samples of the different languages they have translated. For Arabic they have translated the verse in the New Testament in Arabic from the famous verse in the Gospel John 3:16 -"For God so loved the world..."- and the word the translators used in Arabic for "God" is the very same word used by Muslims around the planet, "Allah."Where Does the word "Allah" Come From?"Allah" comes from the Arabic word "elah"a god' or something worshiped. - (Arabic) means 'This word (elah) can be made plural (gods), as in "aleha" and it can be male or female just as the word in English can be "goddess.""Allah" comes from "elaha" but it brings more clarification and understanding.Allah = Has no gender (not male and not female) "He" is used only out of respect and dignity - not for genderAllah = Always singular - Never plural "We" is used only as the "Royal WE" just as in English for royaltyAllah = Means "The Only One to be Worshipped"



"First of all, it is important to note that "Allah" is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word "Allah" being used where "God" is used in English. (Click here to see some examples of the word "Allah" in the Arabic Bible.) This is because "Allah" is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word "God" with a capital "G". Additionally, the word "Allah" cannot be made plural or given gender (i.e. masculine or feminine), which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God. Because of this, and also because the Qur'an, which is the holy scripture of Muslims, was revealed in the Arabic language, some Muslims use the word "Allah" for "God", even when they are speaking other languages"

"This brings us to a more important point: It should be clearly understood that what Islam is primarily concerned with is correcting mankind's concept of Almighty God. What we are ultimately going to be held accountable at the end of our life is not whether we prefer the word "Allah" over the word "God", but what our concept of God is. Language is only a side issue. A person can have an incorrect concept of God while using the word "Allah", and likewise a person can have a correct concept of God while using the word "God".

"Allah as the creator of heaven and earth, and yet failing to draw the only possible conclusion from their belief; which is, to worship Allah and none else besides Him. 'If thou ask them who hath created the Heavens and the Earth, and hath imposed laws upon the sun and the moon, they will certainly say, "Allah". . If thou ask them who sendeth rain from Heaven, and by it quickeneth the earth after it hath been dead, they will certainly answer "Allah"' (Sura 29, 6 1 and 63). "

"Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen. Not any religion or cultural system. I am not from the East or the West, not out of the ocean or up from the ground, not natural or ethereal, not composed of elements at all. I do not exist..."
—Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi

From the above quotes one can deduce that the Name Allah preexisted islam and why not, what is wrong with that? Does it make islam any less of a religion? Alah is eternal, timeless without a beginning or an end...blah blah! But still we especially the die hard Muslim who act throguh their emotions (often with lack of knowledge) than their hearts and minds will always become overly defensive of our religion even if it defies all intelligence in doing so. Ironically like it or not we are ones making a mockery of our religion not the so called non-believers. Over-zealousness is fanaticism and fanaticism often breeds terrorism all in the name of relgion.
