If anyone of us has been following the story in Herald, or heard about it mentioned in any homilies, we should now know that the High Court has granted the Church leave to seek Judicial Review over Government's decision to forbid the usage of word 'Allah' in Herald's publication.
Now, Fr. Lawrence has been saying this for a long time, ever since before i got married. I admired the PAS assemblyman who came to meet up with the parishioners of Church of Divine Mercy in Shah Alam and he personally said that the word 'Allah' originated way before Islam religion came abroad. And it is a word in Malay that translate to God.
I am not trying to stir up some religion issues here. I respect other religion - their ways and beliefs. If that is true in history, than I don't see why (my personal point of view) the word 'Allah' cannot be used for Christians as well as it symbolizes God The Almighty.
God has His own ways of doing things. 'Do Unto Others As You Would Like Others To Do Unto You' will always be my motto of life.
