There is No Monopoly on Allah
I read with sadness the attacks on churches in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya. What is to become of our country? The hooligans (to use a mild term) behind the attacks have no right to use religion as a justification for their action.
The Semitic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, share much in common. None can claim a monopoly on Allah. The squabble is unjustified.
In the Old Testament, the Jews refer to God as “Elohim” {el-o-heem}. Elohim is the plural form of “‘elowahh” {el-o’-ah}, which means “god.” The plural form is used to refer to the of majesty of God, not to indicate the plurality of God.
