Malaysian Christian group slams government seizure of Bibles

This notion that govermentis against religious practice of the minority is absurd and a blatant lies just to gain momentum on this issueand also the accusation of ultra-Islamisation is also alie. It very unfortunate that this accusation is coming from a Bishop>My personal view this Bishop has an agenda.

Religions and Politics

Our government should wise enough to stay away from religion. It is a very costly mistake and decision to insert religion into politics. Religions should stay out of politics and keep practicing their regligion believe within their own community.

its is the goverments evil agenda

hell0 ikan kering u are mistaken, the bishop is not for any agenda but it is from some crooks with evil thought who thinks they are going to live for another 600 years and against the civilization and these people should know malaysia is a secular nation. please wake up brother.get ready for the change and u must know that every thing change except the word change.

ikan jering..you said get ready for the change yet you don’t accept the change..hypocrisy rulez eh!!

goody

the goverment is doing pakatan a big favour the coming election, all the precious votes that ensure they exist after march 8 tsunami..will be gone forever..

Naughty and cunning

It really cheeky for the christians to use the unique term 'Allah' as equivalent to the generic term God. Though 'Allah' means God, it really not generic but closely associated only with Islam. There are so many words such as 'Tuhan' etc in Malay that could be used to represent God in the Malay Bible. Why use 'Allah' which is reveared by the Muslims?? Please do not instigate another religion or the government. You will do yourself a favour.

SaltFish Ragen

SaltFish’s hidden agenda is agreeing to abusing others' rights in the pretext of 'prejudicial to public order'. Cheeky is those who live inside tiny little coconut shell having only limited religious terminologies and Arabic language.. They even caught their own religious people without sensible reason. What else cannot happen?

1MALAYSIA IS A CRAP

They keep talking about 1Msia but will not demonstrate their sincerity. They dont have monopoly over the use of the term Allah. They ban books and bibles but they cant fix corruption that is ruining the country. Cakap tk srupa bikin.

Retardness and close mindedness of Malaysians.

This is a total madness of our gov’t. The word Allah means God in Arabic. Its simple! If so, what does the word God mean in BM? We need to leave this religious things and live as one people or else there is NOTHING like one Malaysia. Period!

malaysian government

Well lookn at the recent event,it shows how malaysia is not what the government preaches but is favour to a particular set of people,while not the government seat with the christains and negotiate how such mathers will be handled in peace than using some harsh and non-freedoom to seize christaib holy book,please embrace oneness in the system.

kacau daun

Hello Bishop Ng,for years we as Malaysian were so happy with the term God being used in Al-Qoran as Allah, and in Bible as God and may be in other religion as something else. There were no trouble or uneasiness on the usage of these words among Malaysians, So why not use God instead of Allah, surely Christians will be more than happy with their God, unless you have hidden agendas or you want the Christians to believe in Islam and totally forget about God coz it seems that you are moving towards this!

think before you talk BS

very samll brains, it just shows, people are afrid to have other views when they know there’s is easly picked apart, the work Allah has been used for years, before Malaysia was Malaysia in the bible, you simple minded afraid people, ... the bible was written in Arabic before islam was even thought up.. why can’t you think? is it because others have been telling you what to think for so long, now you are sheep?

Usage of the term around the world

For a description of the usage of the term Allah around the world, see Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah. The term has been used even before Islam, and is used by Arab and Indonesian followers of Isa Al-Masih (Jesus). It has been used for many generations in Malaysia too, particularly by the bumiputera of Sabah and Sarawak who follow Jesus. These people are now being told that they cannot use the term? Are they not to worship God as the Rukunegara states?

God's kingdom.

No matter how, christian’s condemned by others.The days are coming soon to those who condemn christianity and they will see hell.

Confiscation of Bibles

It is a sad day when the Malaysian government goes down this slippery slope. On one hand the government preaches 1Malaysia and on the other continuing to dismantle other religious faiths. A religion that does not allow or cannot withstand criticism is a very repressive religion. What is it afraid of? Adherents leaving once they find out the truth? Only Allah or God has monopoly over all creations. Man has no monopoly over peoples' faiths, and definitely no monopoly over Allah or God. It is a day of shame for all Malaysians when the government forbids a group of people to use a word that has been in existence since before Malaysia was even a word.

Shame on the govt

Shame on the Malaysian Government. Is Islam sooo weak? Hey, walk the talk of your 1Malaysia policy, you have contravened Article 11 of the Federal Constitution which gives all Malaysians the right to profess and practise his faith.

Commonsense

Leaving aside the rantings of deluded crackpots like Christ Faith man, the word Allah predates Christianity. I have a CD recorded in Syria which includes 4th century Nestorian chanting (Nestorians were an early sect of Christianity), and the word Allah is used. This CD is apparently sold throughout the Middle East. The government, poorly advised by

Freedom of Religion

Only in Malaysia! You can criticize all other religions except muslim faith?

Freedom of Religion

Still Naughty and cunning

Please be fair to your Muslim friends.
If the text is in Arabic, perhaps it is appropriate to use Allah in Bible. But if the text is in Malay, it is only logical to use a Malay word such as Tuhan. The use of allah in Bible in the Malay language has a hidden agenda.

Stupid

Our goverment is very very stupid .

faith

When will they ever learn...
Your faith is in your HEART, not in a book, or a law, or because someone SAID you have to do or act or BE a certain way. If Islam, or Christianity or Buddhism or whatever you believe, is not in your heart, then it’s not faith. Take your beliefs into your heart and only then will you truly be faithful.
Frankly, a religion shouldn’t need a

Another 1 malaysia agenda?

Maybe government is truly and serious of having PM mission. 1 Malaysia. 1 Religion!! those non muslim religion in Malaysia.... beware!! your next...

drop the name allah as god.. allah is not a god

Allah is a chief demon, a god or deity predates before islam and is primarily worshipped as moon god before the emrgence of islam. it is the term derive from babylonian deity by the name of bel

view from other part of the world

As a christian living in the US, I just wanted to let people know how things are seen here. Allah is viewed strictly as the Muslim god. It would be unheard of to use Allah and God interchangeably here. I find it interesting that in Malaysia it’s completely opposite. The christians are fighting to call God Allah.

true name of a universal god has no name

'god' is a base name define for ahigher power. in diferent ancient culture eg in sumeria and babylonia, they had names for each god, and each of this local god are not gods, but deities served to protest their harvest and property and so. for eg, dagon was a philistine deity, bel is a babylonian god for the moon, ashdod, the god ra for the ancient egyptian, jevovah english version for YAHWEH for the israel god and so on.

nothing to proud of wich god

wat is so proud of that name? or wich name of god to use? ALLAH? .. A.rse L.icking L.ame A.ss H.ole

No one could stop the Bible

This book called Bible in English, Alkitab in Malay is the most hated book in the world. Many zealous people in the past tried to destroy this book from being circulated. They tried burning all the Bible found, charged to court those found having Bible and burned in the stake those found reading. Yet the Bible continue to flourish. Now a day, it has been translated into almost all languages in the world. The government will not be able to withstand God. God shall interfere when His cause is challanged. Wait and see.

why

Here Malaysia goes again making themselves fools in the eyes of the free world. the government are like children who keep making stupid mistakees that the free world laughs at and expects because they are used to Malaysia acting like this. Beware christians this government is out to get anyone that is not Muslim. It will get worse and worse. Christians it is time to march on the walls of Tyranny.

The world is going upside down

men destiny is men made no matter what religion you pratice it is the leader who works out

wow! i hear a lot of scaremongers beating their drums here...and most funny thing is satan itself wrote it’s comment here..may be this particular satan is a butt kickable one...hahaha!!

M’sia have been in the spot light of the WORLD for all the wrong reason! we have been a clown in this planet! 28 bil goes down the drain? we want to be the best in every thing! yet we are blind, ignorance, sturborn!!! BODOH DEGIL!!! The leaderss still think we all KATAK DALAM TEMPURUNG?? How wrong! it is our LEADER DALAM TEMPURUNG!! MAKAN SUAP JE ! If B.N still ignore this .. soon M’sia will be lagging so far behind, we can’t climb out!!!!! then our PUTERI will be happy when Taleban regime take over!!!

Down the slippery slope

Malaysians need to wake up and realize that this story doesn’t have to do just with Christians but is about personal freedom! If you give the government an centimeter in this instance they will take 100 kilometers! The powerful will rule over the minority and will begin to tell everyone what they should think or believe. If your beliefs are true then they should be able to stand up to being scrutinized by anyone without you getting upset. Muslims seem to be most sensitive to this. Can not Allah stand up for Himself?? Democracy Malaysia, Not Theocracy!
