Okay, but what about the other 99 names of Allah? Should not non-Muslims also be banned from using these words as well? If the Allah word has been prohibited, then the remaining 99 names should be equally prohibited.

Our Comment:

1. We don't need the Home Minister to answer Raja Petra's questions. A typical Muslim with a good Islamic education up until Form 5 should be able to refute Raja Petra's arguments. If they can’t, they better study harder.

2. First argument, although Allah s.w.t. has 99 names, only one name is being used in the 'Kalimah Shahadah'. So, this name is central to the Islamic faith. All other names of Allah s.w.t. describe His attributes.

3. Second argument, the Christians are claiming to use only the word "Allah". They are not claiming to use the other names of "Allah". So, as far as the other names of Allah s.w.t. are concerned, it is a non-issue.

4. Third argument, Raja Petra claims that the Bible uses the word "Allah". So, the theme of the dispute is only the word "Allah". Do you think the Christians are interested in the other names of Allah s.w.t.? No, we bet that they don’t even want to hear them. So, do not confuse the issue.

5. Fourth argument, the bad Christians want to confuse the ignorant and liberal Muslims into thinking and believing that whether they have faith in "Allah" as believed by Muslims or Christians, it does not matter as long as they believe in the same God. They will say that it is the same since in the olden days the Christians also believe in "Allah" until now.

6. So, from these arguments we can see that Raja Petra's arguments do not hold water. If he really cares about the faith of the Muslims and willing to protect its purity, then he should not go around confusing people with his writings especially on faith because with just one wrong move it can mean between being a Muslim or an apostate.

7. We commend the Government for taking crucial steps in stemming out this dangerous trend to 'liberalize' Islam in our beloved Malaysia.
