Christians ordered to stop publishing news

Christians ordered to stop publishing news: "Tensions are escalating in Malaysia where government officials have ordered a Catholic newspaper to stop publishing its Malay language edition in an argument over use of the word 'Allah,' and the newspaper is threatening legal action against the government.

According to the Malaysiakini.com news website, officials ordered the Catholic Herald to halt publication of its Malay language edition. The newspaper responded with the suggestion that there may be legal action against the government.

Herald editor Father Lawrence Andrew told the website Intellasia the ban on the Malay language edition was just one of the conditions imposed by the nation's Muslim government when the newspaper renewed its license to publish for this year."
