Will someone destroy islam already?
syyuge:
A Malaysian court has ruled that non-Muslims cannot use the word Allah to refer to G_d, even in their own faiths, overturning a 2009 lower court ruling.
The appeals court said the term Allah must be exclusive to Islam or it could cause public disorder.
People of all faiths use the word Allah in Malay to refer to their g_ds.
Christians argue they have used the word, which entered Malay from Arabic, to refer to their G_d for centuries and that the ruling violates their rights.
One Malaysian Christian woman said the ruling would affect the community greatly.
"If we are prohibited from using the word Allah then we have to re-translate the whole Bible, if it comes to that," Ester Moiji from Sabah state told the BBC.

Syria minibus blast: Mine 'kills 21' in Deraa province:
At least 21 people have been killed by an explosion that struck a minibus in southern Syria, activists say.
Six women and four children were among those who died when the vehicle hit a landmine in the town of Nawa, in the province of Deraa, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
Opposition activists blamed forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad.
The area is in rebel-held territory, but is close to the Tal al-Jumaa army base, which is currently under siege.
The UN says more than 100,000 people have been killed in the fighting that has ravaged Syria for two-and-a-half years - with civilians often in the firing line.

Syrian intelligence chief killed in Deir al-Zour:
A senior Military Intelligence officer has been killed in eastern Syria, state media and activists say. State television reported on Thursday that Gen Jamaa Jamaa had died while "carrying out his national duties" and "pursuing terrorists" in Deir al-Zour. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said he was shot by a sniper during clashes between government and rebel forces in the city's Rashdiya district.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory said he was killed during clashes between troops and members of the Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda-affiliated group, and Liwa al-Fatihun min Ard al-Sham. Al-Nusra fighters also executed 10 soldiers captured during the fighting, it added. There were reportedly air strikes and fierce clashes overnight in several districts of Deir al-Zour after state television reported Gen Jamaa's death.
