Malaysia Seizes Bibles To Avoid Offending Peaceful Mohammadians

I saw a news story downloaded in my iPod touch yesterday that gave me a bit of a chuckle. The BBC is reporting that the Malaysian government has seized 10,000 Bibles (the AP is reporting that the number is actually 15,000!) for using the word "Allah" to refer to God. An excerpt from the BBC report:

The Malaysian government has refused to release 10,000 Bibles which it seized because they contained the word Allah to refer to God. The government, which is dominated by Muslim Malays, claims that the word Allah is Islamic and that its use in Bibles could upset Muslims.

The Roman Catholic Church is challenging the ban in court. Religion has become highly sensitive in Malaysia, where about two-thirds of the population is Muslim.

Now I’ve heard the case made that sometimes make too much of made of the word Allah as it was in use long before there were peaceful Mohammadians colonizing the Middle East and Europe by Arabic speaking Christians. Fair enough, I’ll accept that to a point. However, when the word Allah is used by politicians like Presidents George W. Bush or Barrack Obama or even purpose driven pastor extraordinaire Rick Warren to say we all worship one deity whether he or she is called Allah or God or even the god of our many understandings (goomu) we should be just as offended as the peaceful Mohammadians so often seem to get.

I would actually argue that the Malaysian government is actually a little of the curve in their understanding that the Allah confessed by Arabic speaking Christians is a very different god than the Allah submitted to by the Mohammadians and I applaud them for their insight.

Crucifix Banned From Chapel to Avoid Offending Peaceful Mohammadian Inmates

A British prison has decided not to include a crucifix in the décor of its new chapel for fear of offending Mohammadian inmates. The Daily Mail has said that "plans to include the traditional Christian crucifix were erased from the chapel’s blueprints on the advice of a Muslim imam".

Yep, two thousand years later and the cross is still offensive. Whodathunk it? Who knows what they’ll do next so as to not offend their Mohammadian population. I'd recommend allowing the Mohammadian to set up their own court system under sharia law but they already did that back in September.

Peaceful Mohammadians’ Culture Under Attack

Canadian Muslim Teen's Dad Charged in Her Murder

Here’s another attach on the religion of peace up in Jr. America, better known as Canada. I am really sick and tired of everyone in this country not being able to understand other cultures in general and the Mohammadians specifically.

Yes, Muhammad Parvez probably killed his daughter for not wearing a traditional head covering, but we have no right to judge their culture. We need to understand that the daughter clearly disobeyed her father and failed to even understand her own situation. We also need to understand that the Mohammadians are a peaceful people and that the father’s reaction was probably a last resort. If you criticize this man you are only a bigot and a xenophobe. I would then ask you look into the mirror, see how bad of a person you are, and stop criticizing cultures that you are completely ignorant of.

Allah Bear Is Not Happy

This one’s for the missus who loves all things teddy bear;

From those peaceful Mohammadians, who think justice for a gang rape victim is 200 lashes, comes this story from Sudan:

A British primary school teacher arrested in Sudan faces up to 40 lashes for blasphemy after letting her class of 7-year-olds name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Read the rest of the story here.

Ok, naming a teddy bear Muhammad is bad. But the question I have is; was the bear a moderate Mohammadian bear?

Mohammadians Building Death Star

Those peaceful Mohammadians over in the United Arab Emirates have just released the proposed design for the Ras al Khaimah Convention and Exhibition Centre in Dubai.

The project’s construction supervisor Mohammad al Vader is quoted as saying that project is expected to be completed ahead of schedule, one way or another.

Said one infidel from the el Jedi sect who is less than enthusiastic about the proposal “Sure it looks cool, but wait until some darn teenager finds that exhaust vent two meters wide....”
