Question the motive Though I don't support such mob protests, the question that comes to mind is: Why are Christians in Malaysia bent upon using the word Allah? Surely they don't speak Arabic because they are not Arabs. Their scriptures are not in Arabic. Then why use a word for God that's different than what their language has? Everyone knows that in the world of non-Arabs, the word Allah is used only and only by Muslims. Something is definitely not right in all of this.
