Lawyers for the Roman Catholic Church urged a court Monday to let Christians use “Allah” as a translation for God and overturn a government ban that has become a symbol of religious grievances in Muslim-majority Malaysia.

Malaysia is moderately Muslim and apparently they don't want any other religion using the term "Allah" for God. This has caused law makers to allow the symbol and use of the word only to Islamic believers. The Catholic church really nailed itself into a hole when they put out a magazine with the word "Allah" as a way to say God, and of course someone got mad.
It's funny to me that a religion of peace, as people call it, is always in the center of arguments, fights, and violence over something as little as a name. Meanwhile, Christianity gets stoned and made fun of and yet no violence is to be had.
Odd huh?
