Why does Malaysia sultanate decide the word Allah is exclusive for muslim only?

<p>Today the news inform good citizens of Malaysia that non-muslims cannot use the word Allah, more so in their Bible translated to Bahasa Melayu. It is unfortunate that there is now a practice to curb freedom to use words in religion. Sultan of Selangor seemed to have enforced such a umm...rule (not sure of the term to use) but enforcing on non-muslims is so wrong.</p>
<p>In the New Straits Times, it is report on 12 Jan 2013 what seems more like a warning, </p>
<p>On top of freedom of expression issues, it is also found there are many articles to explain that the word Allah is an Arabic word for god and used by Christians and muslims in their respective religious writings or books.</p>
<p>Sounds more like an attempt to cause a reason for repeat of May 13 when you read the article on 12 Jan 2013,http://www.nst.com.my/nation/general/it-s-sultan-s-prerogative-to-issue-decree-says-council-1.200030?cache=03D163D03edding-pred-1.1176%2F%3FpFpentwage63Dp%3A%2Fhe3D03Dn63Frea-rti3D19.3D163D03edding-pred-1.1176%2F%3FpFpentwage63Dp%3A%2Fhe3D03Dn63Frea-rti3D19.111%2F7.186166%2F7.188354%3Fkey%3DMalaysia%3Fkey%3DKuala+L

<p>A simple summary is found at http://www.emuslim.com/whoisallah.asp</p>

<p>An extract;<br>
"Some of The biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have about Islam have to do with the word "ALLAH".</p>
<p>For various reasons, many people have come to believe that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. This is totally false, since "Allah" is simply that Arabic word for "God" - and there is only One God. Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God.</p>
<p>For example, Muslims - like Jews - reject the Christians beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation.</p>
<p>First of all, it is important to note that "ALLAH" is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word "Allah" being used where "God" is used in English. This is because "ALLAH" is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word "God".</p>
<p>Additionally, the word "Allah" CANNOT be made plural or given a gender, which goes hand in hand with the Islamic concept of God. If we were to use the name God, it can be made into plurals and given gender, i.e. god's, goddess, etc."</p>

Murder of Chee Gaik Yap in 2006
