Allah means 'God' in Arab, and its preferrably used to refer to the god of Islam in Malaysia. And here, we are taught Jesus is Nabi Isa ( a prophet *in malaysian language* ) and Jesus is the Christian god.
In malaysia we are so used to calling muslim god, Allah and christian god, God or Tuhan ( malaysian lang.) Dont ask me why, probably easier to distinguish both believers.
You say Christians here insist that Allah is different from God.
But here me, Muslims here insist that God is different from Allah.
Still, we get along just fine. : )

Are you really so unseeing? Or are you just being dishonest? The article you referred us to does not say any such thing.
The Christian newspaper wants to use the word "Allah" for God as a way to convert Muslims to Christianity - by using Muslims' own name for God.
The government knew this, and that is why they originally banned the Christian paper from using "Allah" for "God."
Look to Malaysia to see lots of Muslims converting to Christianity soon.

"Allah" is just the Arabic word for "God". Arabic Christians refer to God as Allah as well. The Persian/Farsi word for God is Khoda, in Spanish it's Dios, in French it's Deux. Not everyone speaks English, you know.

I didn't read the news link you gave, but I can tell you that Islam is the national religion of Malaysia, and in order to be a Malaysian citizen and enjoy the benefits of citizenship you must pledge allegiance to Islam and never renounce it. Therein lies the issue these people are facing.

I am Christian. I firmly believe there is only one God. You may call God by the name of Allah if you prefer.

Give you the inside.
These are FALSE christians, the weekly is a roman catholic weekly! The Jesuits are here to stir trouble.
The word 'Tuhan' is used by Bible believing Christians, let the mis-informed use the moongod allah!

becouse theyb are deceived by the master deceiver. satan.there is only one, 1 god. rather then quote hundreds of scripture to that effect i will tell you one scripture that tells it all. the one god has 3 titles but only one name.read issiah9:6 it tells you what his titles are. there in one god his name is jesus, if you are decived into believing other wise. then you are bound by a deceiveing spirit. if you want more verses and proof, let me know. god bless. pastor carl.

cause the word (alluh) means God
and if they denounce Alluh they will be killed
and thier language thier is but one way to say GOD
and that Alluh..untill they learn JESUS is GOD
then the goverment will surely try to do away with them
the more !!
