You know, I always refrain myself from talking about politics or religious issue – simply because I have not enough knowledge about this two particular areas. I am an ignorant when it comes to politics issues, that I admit. Even though I had been eligible to vote in our beloved country, I never did. I never care as long as it doesn’t effect me. That’s how ignorant I am. And when it comes to religion, I am not that pious even though my name should reflect me otherwise, so I don’t dare to talk without reference.
But it doesn’t mean I have no stands. I think it’s too childish to fight over God’s name. So to make it clear at the first place, here’s my stand about this God-Jesus-Allah issue: As long as it doesn’t do malicious, doesn’t talk lies about Islam, doesn’t alter Muslim’s belief in their faith and religion; go ahead use it. It is not worth it to fight or go to wars over usage of name to describe the Almighty.
Language has been made by people to describe everything. Me, as a Muslim, believes in ultimate one power. It is my God, and that’s my faith. If I am to communicate in English, I’d say “Allah is my God, and He’s the only One”. If the Christians want to say that their faith “Allah is the God, and He has Jesus as the Son and the Ghost as Holy Spirit”, hey, that’s your faith, not mine.
In Islam we have a revelation in our Holy Book Quran that says: “No force in Islam” (translation Malay: Tiada paksaan dalam Islam). I respect yours, and you’re gonna respect mine too. Why need to shed blood?
Sadly, this issue has been manipulated to be political by my own race. We don’t even have our own crafted language (Malay language is heavily influenced by Sanskrit: reference Wiki), now you’re gonna create your own crusade towards the word that origins from the Arabic language? Oh meleis… 
Crusade with swords and cavalry are now irrelevant; we’ve got guns and tanks. Today, it’s the conquer of knowledge; but sadly, most of us goes berserk over something without enough knowledge. How pathetic to see that it’s easier to point fingers, blame each other, and rage without proper cause; but never self-reflect for what we have already done to ourself.
