The court adjudged the usage of the word “Allah” as not - TopicsExpress



          

The court adjudged the usage of the word “Allah” as not integral to the Christian faith and said that allowing such an application would cause confusion in the Muslim community. The ruling was censured in several international publications, such as Indonesian daily Jakarta Post, which wrote an editorial yesterday saying that “those who claim exclusivity to God undermine their own faith, and inadvertently or not, preach polytheism”. International current affairs magazine The Economist pointed out yesterday that Christians in the Middle East commonly refer to God as “Allah”, and called the court verdict an “unhelpful contribution” to religious discourse between Muslims and Christians.
