Surprisingly a Malaysian court has recently ruled that non muslims in Malaysia are not entitled to use the word “Allah” based on the court judgment that Allah is the God of muslims only & it is the muslims sole right to use this word. This ruling happened after a lot of turmoil whereby muslim extremists attacked churches & threatened Christians if they used this word

For many centuries & since the inception of Islam , the Christians have been using the word “Allah “ in their churches & prayer sayings same as muslims in all muslim dominated countries without the least problem or objection . Also Quran recognized & acknowledged that people of scripture can use this word , clearly stating that their GOD & muslim GOD is one “Allah” , & that their books & verses are books of Allah ,moreover even the infidels & non believers at the time of Prophet were using the same word , see Quran verses below proving this

3;64 قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا اللَّـهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّـهِ
