Breaking News from the Religion of Peace!

This is not encouraging for those of us who sincerely hope that moderate Moslems can successfully purge the radical Islamist thinking from their religion:

In neighboring Malaysia, Moslems (who are 60 percent of the population) are rioting and destroying Christian churches, because courts declared it legal for Christians to call God Allah in their publications. The reason for the ruling is that the use of Allah as the term for a Christian God predates Islam (especially in Egypt, where the Christian Copts still use the term). But Islamic conservatives believe that Moslems now "own" the term and are willing to use violence to defend that belief.

I ask again, what doesn't cause these jokers to riot and kill? You really think our actions cause terrorism?

I'm sure if we all just paste more "Coexist" bumper stickers on our eco-friendly cars, everything will be just fine.

UPDATE: We'll really need to mass produce those bumper stickers to do any good, given the scale of the problem.
