Khir Toyo turns to ‘Allah’ word to boost flagging standing

malaysianinsider - Former Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Dr Khir Toyo wants legislation to stop non-Muslims from using the word “Allah”. Alternatively, he wants the King and the Conference of Rulers to step in and make clear their objection over the use of “Allah”, a word which is used in worship by Christians and Sikhs.

His controversial proposal comes a few days after the newspaper of the Catholic Church won round one in its fight against a government ban on Christians using the word "Allah" as a synonym for "God".

The Herald is seeking to reverse a government order that prohibits the paper from using the word "Allah" as a synonym for God in its Malay-language section. The government says the word refers only to the Muslim God, and its use by Christians might confuse Muslims. It has threatened to revoke the paper's publishing licence if it defies the order.
