It has been reported that the Police have given a stern warning requesting the public from getting involved in a demonstration at Assumption Church at Petaling Jaya on 13 January 2010.
The Selangor State Chief Police Officer, Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar reminded the public that it would be an unlawful gathering and action would be taken according to the law. He pointed out that there were SMS messages been distributed demanding concern members of the public to gether to show their dissatisfaction at the government in resolving the crisis on the use of the term "Allah", which the Malaysian Muslim feel should be exclusively be use by Muslims only.
Surprise to many, it was further reported that neighbouring Indonesia which has the largest Muslim population in the World allow non-Muslims to use the term 'Allah' in preaching their religion. Many Muslim countries too allow non-Muslims to use the word to define God.
There are also reports that UMNO seems to be capitalising on this issue to get Malay support in Peninsula Malaysia and with the involvement of these political masters, this issue will not be easily resolved even after assurances from the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak.
