Malaysian Prime Minister Tries to Calm Rising Fears of Christian Persecution
In public comments made on Monday at a political "congress", Prime Minister of Malaysia Najib Tun Razak attempted to calm concerns faced by the nearly 3 million Christians in Malaysia after a court ruling banned the use of the Arabic word for God, "Allah", from being used by non-Muslims. The Prime Minister said the ban only applied to the Catholic Newspaper sued in the case, saying Christians could continue to use the word and that Malay language Bibles which use the term would not be banned. In late 2009 and early 2010 approximately ten churches were attacked and even bombed by Islamic groups angry over the victory of the Catholic Newspaper, which originally won it's case to use the word to refer to God by the term "Allah". The issue has become a flash-point for rising tensions between religious minorities and what appears to be an increasingly radicalized Islamic population.
