That's stupid because, from what I understand, there is only one word for God in Arabic, and that is Allah. Christians call their God Allah in Arabic, so do Jews and Muslims, right?

 
Archie Goodwin [TotalFark] 2007-12-29 09:26:18 PM  
Please, it's 'The Prophet formerly known as Allah.'

Just checking.

 
Somacandra [TotalFark] 2007-12-29 09:33:58 PM  
Which, as the article all but says, is really remarkably stupid and dumb, seeing as how "Al-Lah" means "The Lord" in Arabic and is also used by Christians and Jews who speak Arabic, as well as by Hindus and others speaking formally of their deities. Me suspects some pandering to religious reactionaries in that country. Not that we in the U.S. would know anything about that. Not that we would pass Congressional resolutions all but sanctifiying and proclaiming Christmas and Jesusanity the official religion of the U.S. (new window)

Tonight at Mass our Indian-born priest would say "Our Lord" during prayers but to me it sounded alot like "Allah" because of his accent.


/not half as much fun as a former Irish-born priest who would share stories of his ministry in Africa (evidently couldn't keep the kids from sneaking off during midnight mass and fornicating, I loved that Irish brogue...)

Dear Monotheistic Religious Majorities: The rest of us understand that you are currently the 800-pound gorillas in your respective nations (including Israel) and that's all well and good. The rest of us don't need laws or resolutions rubbing it in everyone else's face. All it does is piss us off and make it much more likely that we will cause trouble for you when the opportunity presents itself. Are all of you THAT insecure that you have to codify it the laws of your nations?

P.S. Unless you live in Malaysia, saying "Allah" in this thread is pretty pointless, since you're not under Malaysian jurisdiction and therefore don't have to deal with any consequences. But please, let everyone else know how large your penis is by typing five letters in a particular sequence on your keyboard.

Dear Somacandra ,

My penis is neither large nor existent, but I am delighted that, at least for now, it is quite legal for me to write or say Allah any time I damn well please.

Well, drat. Here I was, planning on holding the next big theological studies convention in Malaysia, too. I guess I'll just have to cancel that- oh, that's right, I wouldn't go to Malaysia if it was the only spot in the world above sea level.

Have fun over there, johnny_vegas.

OK. That was funny.

I am thinking of building a big pig-shaped boat and sailing to Malaysia. I would like to christen it "Allah." It will specialize in carrying pig meat (especially the hooves), bikinis, and pornography.

Anyone want in?

Here is a question legal scholars there might be asking:

If someone in a TV show uses the word, and later on renounces Islam; Is it in violation of the law to air the program after? Who is in violation, the person in the TV show, or the station that aired it?

Of course it is a trick question, you can't renounce Islam silly.

Hmm. I don't know about that. Great beaches, fantastic food, and it's all SE Asia cheap cheap cheap. There are worse places to be a tourist.

/wouldn't want to live there
