Clare Street would like to join all the right -thinking as well as peace-loving Malaysians in the condemnations against the cowardly violence committed against Christian churches in this beloved country of ours.

James,
What happens if some moron claims that Malaysian air belongs to him alone?
We have to stop breathing.
All of us will die leaving him alone in this paradise of fools!!!
1. Exactly, the row is NOT about who owns Allah;
2. It is about who owns the Arabic word Allah which is God in English or Shen in Mandarin;
3. No one even in the Arabic-speaking center of civilisation and Indonesia (the motherland of the Malay-speaking people on earth and the most populous Muslim-majority in the world) dare to claim only Muslims exclusively own the Arabic word Allah; therefore, Arabic- and Malay-speaking Indonesian Christian have been using the word Allah in their worship and publication for centuries;
4. The whole earthly and not-so-holy psychology behind the G&K crowd is predatory acquisitiveness
5. Let me reiterate: a communal and nationalistic deity is NOT Allah in the sense of One True X in the understanding of the Abrahamic tradition; th deity is only a made-in-malaysia brand of being.
