I don't understand *why* the priest would want to address God Almighty by the name Allah. Christianity predates Islam by 700 years and should refer to God by His Hebraic names since Jesus was a Jew and there never have been any ties to Islam. Me thinks the priest was simply trying to be PC which came back and bit him in his ars.

But Muslim authorities ruled that non-Muslims cannot use the sacred word. This ruling just shows that these people are still ignorant, in spite of their faith. http://news.yahoo.com/39-allah-39-row-thrusts-malaysian-priest-spotlight-045410869.html
