I got this comment for KJ’s website. Rembau.net. It was posted by one of his readers. I wont say much. You people decide yourself on this matter.

 

Many many years ago I did a unit on Islam at University as part of my Economics degree. Specialising in Middle eastern cultures and their economies I was fortunate to study under one eminent Professor. Therefore I say with authority that all middle eastern Arabs whether they are Arabic Christians such as Coptic Christians or Muslims, use the revered term “Allah” to refer to our Lord God. In South and Central Asia too all Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Baha’i use the term “Allah” or “Rab” or “Khudha” or “Bhagwan” or “Ishwar” among other endearing words in reference to our Lord God. I recall in my journeys in central asia and nothern India it was common to meet Hindus and Sikhs who were named after our Lord God,for example “Alla Singh” or “Allah Rakah”.
“Alla” or “Ulla” is an ancient endearing term used to call our Lord God by the ancient semitic peoples such as the Arabic people and their cousins the Yahudi people. To make a law that insists on people of a particular religion or community only can use the name “Allah” to describe our Lord God really baffles good reasoning. May common sense prevail “Insha Allah”.
