The article says that Dr. Furnish describes the term 'Allah' as referring to the Muslim god. But what of the many Arabic and Malay-speaking Christians who also worship God with the name Allah? This has not been a problem anywhere except in Malaysia where Christians are banned from using 'Allah' http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/04/world/asia/in-malaysia-allah-is-reserved-for-muslims-only.html?_r=0 Now, certainly there is a linguistic argument as to whether 'Allah' derives from a proper name for the Muslim god. However, does Dr. Furnish intend that all of the Christians that worship Allah no longer use that name and retranslate all of their bibles?
