KJ urges Wisma Putra to censure Vatican envoy


BN Youth has urged Wisma Putra to issue a protest note to the Vatican representative to Malaysia for purportedly supporting the use of the term "Allah" by Christians. 

"This is a very delicate and sensitive issue in the country," said its chairperson Khairy Jamaluddin told a press conference today.  

"It's a national problem which is still being debated. The archbishop (Joseph Marino) is not helping the situation at all. His statement could complicate the situation." 

However, he stopped short of demanding that the office be shut down and for Marina to be deported, as demanded by some irate Muslim groups such as Malay rights pressure group Perkasa and Jalur Tiga (Jati). 

Last Thursday, Marino spoke to several reporters and chimed in on a fact sheet by the Christian Federation of Malaysia on why Christians should be allowed to use "Allah".  

“In terms of how they presented the arguments in favour, it seems to be quite logical and acceptable,” he said, which was taken as overt support by some news organisations.
In Dec 31, 2009 the Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled in favour of Catholic Church of Malaysia's suit to revoke the federal government's ban on the publication's use of the term "Allah" to describe God.
However, a stay order on the judgment was granted pending appeal. The hearing for the federal government's appeal has yet to begin.
