Three Christian churches were attacked with firebombs Friday as tensions rose in a dispute over whether Christians could use the word “Allah” in this largely Muslim nation.
Later in the day, small crowds rallied outside two major mosques in the capital, in a growing protest over a court ruling that overturned a government ban on the use of “Allah” by Roman Catholics as a translation for God.

The government has appealed that ruling, insisting that the ban should remain in force, and made no move to bar the unsanctioned rallies, as it commonly does.

But a police helicopter hovered low over the front of the city’s central mosque, drowning out the words of the speakers on its balcony.

“Allah is only for us,” said Faedzah Fuad, 28, who participated in the rally. “The Christians can use any word, we don’t care, but please don’t use the word Allah.”

Despite escalating political rhetoric and the early-morning violence, the rallies of 200 to 300 people were far smaller than the thousands predicted by organizers.
Hand-lettered signs reading “Please respect the name of Allah” remained in a stack on the ground where Ms. Faedzah had prepared them.

Though Malaysia is 60 percent Malay and Muslim, sizable minorities of Chinese and Indians practice Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism in this country of 28 million.

Ethnic and religious politics have grown more intense since the government suffered severe losses in a general election last March. Much of the reverse came at the hands of minority voters who were disturbed by the government’s increasingly conservative Islamic tone.

The government has appealed and has been granted a stay of the High Court ruling on Dec. 31 that allowed a Catholic newspaper to use the word “Allah” in its Malay-language editions.

The word has been widely used as a translation for the word “God” in Malay-language texts and services, particularly among Christian indigenous tribes in the remote states of Sabah and Sarawak.

It is also the common word used to describe the Christian God in Arabic-speaking countries like Egypt and Syria and in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, whose language is a variant of the Malay language.

During the current dispute, many Muslims here have argued that the use of the word by other religions could confuse believers and tempt them to convert from Islam.

Prime Minister Najib Razak condemned the attacks on the churches Friday and defended the government against accusations that it had at least tacitly sanctioned the violence. “We have always been very responsible,” he said at a news conference.

In the first attack, shortly after midnight, the police said that a firebomb had destroyed the ground-level office of the Metro Tabernacle Church. They said that worship areas on the two upper floors were undamaged and that no one had been injured.

Two other churches were attacked by arsonists before dawn, with only one of them sustaining minor damage, according to the police.

Please If anybody knows alternative name for God in Arabic, I am really curious, want to know,

I thought

God=Allah=Jehovah=chineke=olorun

How can some people lay claim to 'God'?

Its a really deep problem

@beneli

sorry, was at the movies, went to see the worst movie of the century 'New Moon', please if they drag you to watch it, close your eyes! its not worth seeing.

Check your mail box.

Wish you a great weekend.

beneli:
I think you are on to something here, my friend.

First question: Is the idea/product 'patentable'? If so try to secure it as your Intellectual Property with the Nigerian Patent Office that way you won't be worried that somebody else will run to the banks with it!

Am i interested? I think i am. There is something in your idea that is very useful. We need to obviously sit down and work out what is workable in the Nigerian terrain and what is not. I am still trying to get through the hurdles of getting a HMO registered. I am stuck in the form-buying stage. I should be in Naija early next year to push on a little more. Unfortunately the crises in the banking sector has put me back several months because the product i have (which also is novel and therefore patented) has a lot to do with the banks.

What next then you may ask? I suggest that you get the product registered as an Intellectual Property, so that when we start to talk we will be talking as equals. When i registered my product it cost me about 60k in Naira.

What sayeth thou ?(i like that phrase, so i apologise for borrowing it from you. I didn't plan to steal your mojo or anything!)

PS: Where are u based?

Well said.

I am a medical doctor based in lagos somewhere in Ikoyi, I am into General Practice and I do a lot of software development, I have a number of completed and ongoing work in and out of medical practice.

I would have asked for your email initially but you know how these things are, trust is a big issue and nobody wants to be spammed. We can carry on this discussion via email styraxsystems@yahoo.com.

Thank you for the copyright angle, right on it!

beneli:
I am all ears eyes.

Doing things a little differently, using help of technology to make health available for subscribers while "roaming" using programmable EMV compliant smartcards that have sizable memory to contain holder's biodata, detailed medical history and secure link to extended medical records and imaging on hosted servers.

So instead of declaring primary care providers, subscribers can walk into any participating care provider and be attended to without being subjected to rigor of extensive clarking and what-not, also will help to reduce frauds in claims by care providers and the rest of that.

Just acquired the necessary hardware and did extensive software coding to bring up a unique solution for nigeria health care and insurance. I quite understand, similar things are being used extensively in europe especially germany and france.

Of course can go into too much details than this, otherwise i will be sounding like a nerd.

so what sayeth thou?

@loser2,
Contact the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council via the following link http://www.mdcnigeria.org/ They're the ones responsible for licencing and that sort of thing, and should be able to guide you. It may be best to call them on the numbers provided on their website, as opposed to sending them an email.

Good luck!

To whomever it may concern, I wish to apply for a visa to your country. Let me be upfront with you, if you grant me entrance to your country I am not coming back to Nigeria anytime soon.

As usual, scan my documents with your sea-blue eyes and perfect white fingers, they are all genuine. I have three masters in various fields, but who is counting. I have a wife (not through arranged marriage, as you can see from the elaborate wedding album I have included in this application) and we have legitimate children here in Nigeria but don't worry about how they are going to cope in my absence. Let me deal with that separation anxiety and trauma.

I am being honest with you, because I don't want to be the butt of your drinking jokes in highbrow Ikoyi and Victoria Island gatherings.

Truth be told, it is in your interest to grant me and many other Nigerians visas and let me tell you why.

- The exorbitant visa fees you are charging me and thousands of Nigerians will go a long way to help your sagging economy and secure your job here in Nigeria.

I don't think you really fancy eating McDonalds' happy heart-stopping meals instead of your fresh organic salad, imported steaks, Thai food or Italian a la carte that you enjoy in Lagos.

- When I get to your country, with my numerous degrees, I am willing to take jobs your fellow citizens abhor and feel are beneath their blue-blooded feet. I will flip burgers and wash dishes with bare hands. I will accept a security job in a run-down, gun-toting, hard-drug-infested, needle-sharing and high school dropout neighbourhood.

- I will happily work the graveyard shift in your nursing and old people's homes, helping the aged parents you left behind. I will be responsible for prolonging the life of your really old parents, because I will change elderly diapers, wipe their wrinkled brows. I will turn and reposition them to avoid bedsores and make sure they take their medications. At social recreation I will tell them sweet tales about the Africa they don't know and will never know. I will tell stories about a country that treats their children with human kindness and tropical warmth. But I won't say a word that while they are abandoned in a lonely nursing home, eating pureed food and drinking awful tasting Ensure, you feast regularly on three course meals in four-star restaurants, swigging SWAN water and VSOP. I will not tell your parents that you have servants tending you and your dog in a spacious seaside house, while they have only me to take care of them and eight other geriatrics in an overcrowded facility. I won't tell your aged mother that you have a gardener who replenishes your vase every morning with fresh roses, lilies and orchids while she stares at a sagging basket with a fake-plastic fig tree all day long. The secret of your lush life in my country is safe with me.

- I will not pose any security risk in your country. Your citizens can sleep with both eyes closed, because I will never engage in a course that will not benefit me directly. Nobody is going to convince me to tie a bomb round my Nigerian chest and blow myself to pieces. You have lived in Nigeria long enough to know we are not suicide happy and we do not partake in non-economically viable adventures.

- In trying to regularise my stay and wriggle out of the "illegal immigrant" stigma, I will marry one of the many single mothers left to their woes by a non-present prison happy boyfriend. I will rent her a nice apartment and stepfather her children, while my children here yawn and gape at the Western Union line. I will remove her from the welfare list, less headache for your taxpaying citizens. I know I have told you earlier that I am married and polygamy is probably unlawful in your country. But technically, my Nigerian wife and children are not resident in your country, and your law does not cross the Atlantic Ocean like captured slaves.

- In filing my papers, I will make one of your quack lawyers richer.

- Your Internal Revenue department is free to overtax me, your police can harass me, your immigration officers can detain me despite my legitimate documents of lawful marriage and co-habitation, my employers can deny me promotions because of my accent and skin colour, my boss who has only high school certificate can correct my English language, your country can dehumanise me and see me as a tree-living National Geographic creature. I won't blame you because my visionless leaders compromised me.

Thanks for your anticipated co-operation, and please remember you have more to gain by granting me this visa.

In everybody's interest yaradua shouldnt seek to be featured in the next election; stagnancy on our part, churg-strauss on his part.
Well thats what the complex syndrome he is suffering from is called and its like being caught in a dead-end alley, no escape,

Do people still do business like that, committing over 5 million naira based on verbal agreement?!

This is serious

the last couple of times arsenal had to play three consecutive home matches,something always went wrong

@ajileko

before the truck tips, ask them to level the granite inside the bucket, then tape measure the length and breadth of the bucket after which you will dip an iron rod right through the centre of granite while standing on it, mark where the granite reaches on the rod, then do your calculation, what you want to get is the volume which is (length x breadth x height).

Once the volume of what they bring to you is known, then getting the mass (weight) is easy since the density of granite is constant and density is Mass divided by volume.

You know your volume and your density so multipy the two to get the mass.

Will be glad to help you further, if need be.

@all
Why breathing down each other's neck on top what?!
