It may happen here if we are not careful.

CRIMINAL OFFENCE: Flouters face jail, fine or both, says spokesman

GEORGE TOWN: "SOLAT", "Surau" and "Masjid" are words non-Muslims in Penang are prohibited from using in their writings.

The words are among the 40 decreed by the Penang mufti, as provided under subsection 48(3) and (4) of the Penang Islamic Religious Administration Enactment 2004, as exclusive to Muslims.
The other words are "Allah", "Firman Allah", "Ulama", "Hadith", "Ibadah", "Kaabah", "Qadhi'", "Illahi", "Wahyu", "Mubaligh", "Syariah", "Qiblat", "Haji", "Mufti", "Rasul", "Iman", "Dakwah", "Wali", "Fatwa", "Imam", "Nabi", "Sheikh", "Khutbah", "Tabligh", "Akhirat", "Azan", "Al Quran", "As Sunnah", "Auliya'", "Karamah", "Syahadah", "Baitullah", "Musolla", "Zakat Fitrah", "Hajjah", "Taqwa" and "Soleh".

A Penang Mufti's Department spokesman said besides prohibited from using the words, non-Muslims were also forbidden to write or publish any of the words in any form, version or translation in any language or for use in any publicity material in any medium, including print, electronic and any form, that could insult the sanctity of Islam.

The decree was enforced on April 29, 2010.

Those found flouting the decree would be charged under Section 3 of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Penang) 1996.

The section says any person, whether he or she is Muslim or not, who develops doctrines or religious beliefs other than Islamic religious doctrine or belief among Muslims is guilty of an offence triable in the civil court and shall be liable to a fine not exceeding RM3,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years or both.

The spokesman said so far, no action had been taken against any individual or group since the law was enforced.

Yesterday, the New Straits Times reported that Kelantan had enforced the law prohibiting non-Muslims from using 24 Islamic words and phrases, including "Allah" for more than 30 years.
Those flouting the law could face up to RM10,000 in fines or five years' jail or both. They are also liable to be caned.

who is God? Is there one?

 

[eErotica69]

Dunno. Beats me.

But I do hear some of my Muslims friends in Singapore says "if God is willing". Do they allow Muslims to use the words God to substitute for Allah?

Only God knows, commoners are guessing from the past till today.

Early man's vain attempt to explain the origin. Somehow turned into what you said.

 

[eErotica69]

Actually the Christian, Muslim and Jews believe in the same GOD (read Old Testiment), so what is the big fuss?

every religion has their own GOD.
There's Jesus, Kuan Yin, Budhha, elephant God etc, and there is Allah

so, if every religion keeps to their own God, then there's no trouble
who creates the trouble here .. why use other religion's GOD name .. ??
