Court in Malaysia Rules Only Muslims Can Use Allah

The Malaysian court of appeals ruled, on Monday, that only Muslims can use the word Allah.

This overturned a 2009 court ruling that continued to allow all Malaysians to use the word.

For centuries Allah has been the word all faiths use for God, to the point where it is even printed in Bibles.
