" Allah" or nt???

yesterday i jz receive news bout the burned of the three church at the place whr i study, there's evn gt one church is jz the road whr i lived. the issue elicited me to think bout the " Allah" thing.. this issue is continue a issue that a church and Christian newspaper in Malaysia are suing the government after it decreed that the word "Allah" can only be used by Muslims.

according to the sociology, they claimed that the term 'Allah' was used to refer to God by Arabic-speaking Christians before Arabic-speaking Muslims existed. if really want to proclaim the issue on the "Allah" thing, they are fighting for a hollow issue, which what we can say fighting for nothing.. Church officials say that although the word Allah originated in Arabic, Malays have used it for centuries to refer generally to God, and Arabic-speaking Christians used it before Islam was founded, reports the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Robert Pigott. (quote from BBC news)

i wonder sometimes,is the "Allah" issue had become the political or tribe issues. from the view of the outsiders, it is struggle with just a single words, it's sounds funny but it does not really make sense if the muslims won in the "Allah" issues. if they won, will that change the situation, will make them love their "Allah" more? and how they conduct the secure of other ppl not saying "Allah" word? people cannot stop the language spread,cannot control other ppl ,they have no rights to do it, evn God also give people the freedom to speak. and hw they caught? spoke public? caught on radio? hw can a people control a people's mouth to speak? it's funny...
if the "Allah" term they believe is a true God, will it effect if use by other religions? will they "Allah" change in the qualitative?

i have a lot of question in my mind pondering around thinking wat is going on... dunno a lot of things.. this is jz something frm me, i hope anyone can read understand wat am i writing...
