| Malaysian Govt Appeals Ruling Allowing Christians to use ‘Allah’ in Publications |
| 2021-03-16 |
| [BenarNews] The Malaysian government is appealing last week’s High Court ruling lifting a ban on Christian publications using the word "Allah" to refer to God, the attorney general told BenarNews on Monday. The issue is highly charged in Moslem-majority Malaysia, where Christians have been using the word for centuries. Major political parties had urged the government to appeal the ruling, which some Moslem groups said could lead to "confused" Moslems renouncing Islam and embracing "pluralist thinking." Attorney General Idrus Harun confirmed that the notice of the appeal, dated Mar. 12, was submitted to the Court of Appeal on Monday, but did not give details. "The submission on appeal was done today [Monday]," Harun told BenarNews via text message. |
