MUSLIMS ATTACKING CHURCHES IN MALAYSIA

IT AIN'T OVER THE USA OR ISRAEL OR IRAQ OR GITMO. OR BUSH OR LIKUDNIKS OR NEOCONS:

NYTIMES:

Assailants attacked three Malaysian churches with firebombs Friday, extensively damaging one amid a growing conflict over the use of the word ''Allah'' by non-Muslims, officials said.

The attacks sharply escalated tensions in the Muslim-majority country ahead of planned protests by Muslims later Friday against a Kuala Lumpur High Court verdict which struck down a 3-year-old ban on non-Muslims using ''Allah'' in their literature.

The Dec. 31 court decision incensed many Muslims, who see it as a threat to their religion. Hateful comments and threats against Christians have been posted widely on the Internet, but this is the first time the controversy has turned destructive.

The ruling was on a petition by Malaysia's Roman Catholic Church, whose main publication, the Herald, uses the word Allah in its Malay-language edition.

ISLAM IS NOT ONLY INCOMPATIBLE WITH MODERNITY - IT'S INCOMPATIBLE WITH ALL OTHER RELIGIONS.

THERE IS NO PLACE FOR IT UNDER THE SUN.

THERE WILL BE NO PEACE UNTIL HUMANITY BANISHES IT FOREVER.
