KUALA LUMPUR – A Malaysian court on Monday allowed a second Christian to challenge the authorities for seizing religious material that used the word ‘Allah’, arguing there’s no copyright on ‘Jesus’.
The Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled that Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill could seek an order directing the Home Ministry to return eight CDs seized from her last May, and issued a declaration that she had the right to use materials with the word “Allah” to describe God.
In another similar case in December, the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur requested a judicial review on behalf of The Herald Catholic Weekly Catholic asking for the ban on the use of the word ‘Allah’ by the Home Ministry to be lifted. The case also seeks a ruling that the word is not exclusive to Islam. The matter is pending in court.
The government has said the use of the word “Allah” by non-Muslims might confuse Muslims or offend their sensitivities.
As such, the court rulings represent a David versus Goliath-like victory for Christians in a country where 65 percent of the population is Muslim and only 9 percent is Catholic.
Archbishop Murphy Nicholas Xavier Pakiam of Kuala Lumpur said banning use of the word ‘Allah’ in the country’s Catholic weekly newspaper was clearly illegal. “We have court approval to continue publication, but if we lose the case we have an list of alternate names ready, including Allie, Allhah, Adidas and Akbar.”
In addition, the Archbishop confessed that he has sent a petition to the Vatican requesting that ‘Jesus’, ‘Christ’, and “Jesus Christ’ be copyrighted as soon as possible. “Just in case,” he said.
