“Allah” in Malaysia for Muslims only
An appeals court in Malaysia upheld the government’s ban
against the use of the word “Allah” by non-Muslim faiths. The word “Allah” is used in the Malay
language as the word for “God.”
The government insists the word should be used exclusively
by Muslims fearing if used by other groups it could be used to convert
them. The legal dispute originated by
“The Herald” a Roman Catholic newspaper that used the word for God.
Before anyone in the USA bellows “there they go again, the
intolerant Muslims,” look within the USA first.
The Malaysian government reserved the word “Allah” exclusively for
Muslims. Now in the USA try uttering the
word that stands for the “N” word and not be a member of that ethnic group, see
what happens. Sensitivity training
anyone? Public admonishment?
If in the commission of a crime if certain offensive words
are used one could be charged with a “hate crime” causing additional incarceration
time. However if certain ethnic groups
in the USA use offensive words in the commission of a crime, no hate crime
charges most likely will not be filed (FBI statistics). Basically minorities in the USA enjoy a
protected and greater vocabulary than those considered to be part of an ethnic
majority.
