NewsUmno Selangor wants “Allah” to be exclusive to Muslims

The Umno Selangor members protesting at the palace gates today.
SHAH ALAM: The gates to the Istana Kayangan, the official residence of the Sultan of Selangor, was packed with a crowd of about 100 Umno protestors who had gathered there to submit a memorandum to the ruler over the “Allah” controversy.
The protestors waved Umno flags and shouted slogans before handing over a memorandum to palace officials.
“We object strongly to the Catholic publication, the Herald Weekly, using the word ‘Allah’ as measures need to be taken to guard the sanctity of Islam. The use of ‘Allah’ by the Herald will in turn threaten the religion of Islam,” said Datuk Ismail Kijo who read out excerpts of the memorandum delivered to the Sultan.
Ismail stated that, as Muslims, members of Umno Selangor would not allow non-Muslims to use ‘Allah’ to preach to the Muslims.
He also said that the gathering today was an “act of prayer” as it was compulsory for every Muslim to defend his religion against threats or attacks.
