The Malaysian Ministry in charge of Islamic Affairs has banned a Catholic newspaper for using the word 'Allah'. According to the ministry, the words 'Allah'(God), 'Solat'(prayer), 'Kaabah'(The holiest Islamic shrine located in Mecca), and 'Baitullah'(House of God) can only be used by Muslims. Hmm... How come the regular newspapers can publish these words, huh? Oh, and apparently, the Sikhs use the word 'Allah' in their prayers. Religious rioting in Malaysia if the Sikhs get banned from using the word? Maybe.
