Around 300 members of Al-Ehsan Islamiah Malaysia Welfare Association gathered in front of Kelantan Grand Palace during a peaceful rally protesting about the use of the word “Allah” by non-Muslims. Kota bharu, Malaysia. 06/01/2010.
The protests are aimed at objecting to the High Court’s ruling on Dec 31 which allowed the Catholic weekly and the Herald , to use the word “Allah” in its articles to propagate Christianity among its followers.
In her judgment, High Court judge Datuk Lau Bee Lan said usage of the word “Allah” in the Herald was
constitutional as long as the periodical was confined to educate the followers of the Christian faith.
However, following an appeal by Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail on Wednesday, Lau granted a stay of execution against her earlier ruling after meeting the parties in her chambers.
