I refer to the Malaysiakini report The Herald loses permit amid 'Allah' row.

As a Malaysian, I am appalled at this turn of events.  This decision epitomises the discrimination, racism, persecution and narrow-mindedness of our present government.  

This is a direct contradiction to our prime ministers ‘1Malaysia’ initiative.  The word ‘Allah’ relates to God.  There is only one God, and he is indeed great.  

I believe in God with all my heart.  How can a group of people dare lay claim to the word ‘God’?  It doesn’t matter if it’s in English, Chinese or Bahasa Melayu.  

This is pride and arrogance at its worst, and God will indeed punish those who discriminate against others on account of His name.  

I urge the Catholic Church in Malaysia to be steadfast in their pursuit of justice, and have faith that God will deliver them from this injustcie.  They will be defeated, it just takes a little time.
