I don’t know Islam but I know logic

If the Muslim governments of the Arab states and the secular government of Indonesia (the most populous muslim nation) allow Christians in their countries to call on God as Allah, you have to either accept:

1) Christians cannot call on God as Allah ; the Arab States AND Indonesia have wrongly interpreted Islam – OR
2) Christians can call on God as Allah and there is nothing Theologically wrong with it.

Choose.

If there is nothing wrong with it Theologically, then why is UMNO making so much noise? Otherwise, what makes you entirely certain that everyone else in every nation got the interpretation of Islam wrong , and only our wise Malaysian government got it right?

Learn how to respond to ignorance.

Of course there is a 3rd possibility, that I include here for the sake of completeness, that both the Arab states and Malaysia are right or they both are wrong. This would have to entail that the laws of Islam are not pervasive nor permanent, that they are flexible and change with regards to the context of the country/socio-political influences. I don’t think anyone would have you believe that Islam has rules or laws that are flexible based on the country. It’s like a Catholic saying abortion is OK as long as you do it in the right country.

Of course, that is where we stand.

Choose where you stand.

    Shut up. So what if your post is correct? Will it make a difference?

    Instead of blabbering, why not be a politician and do something significant from there? It's hard, I know, but at least it's better than just blogging.

    Stop complaining.
