I refer to the letter 'Allah' term unique, exclusive.

I was just flipping through the TV channels last Friday, when I came across something that I could only classify as ‘interesting’ in light of the whole ‘Allah’ controversy that has been happening in Malaysia recently.

I happened to have flipped to this show called ‘JAG’ that was being shown on Star World (through Astro, of course). In a particular scene, the lead heroine of the show Sarah 'Mac' Mackenzie happened to pass by this (apparently) Arabic diplomat (played by an actor I recognized as Erick Avari, a Hindu I believe).

This diplomat (or he might have been a minister) greeted Sarah with ‘Assalamualaikum’. But the interesting part is that when Sarah greeted him back with ‘Walaikumsalam,’ her part was censored out! Really!

It seemed to me that the only reason this would be done was because she is American, and, presumably, a non-Muslim.

Isn't that interesting? Our local Astro channels have already begun censoring such ‘Islamic’ terms if, and only if, they are spoken by characters who are non-Muslim.
