Sparking Life

Now this is something that can really cause a lot of trouble for languages. People are protesting and setting churches on fire against Malaysian courts’ decision that “Allah” is the word that can be used by non-Muslims too. Malaysian government is going to contest the decision and government as well as Muslims of Malaysia want excusive ownership of “Allah”.

What can be more bizarre than this incident? Although there’s no logic in this claim that a word belongs to a particular section of society and however, as all bizarre things happen due to fundamentalists, it’ll take place too – ownership of words. And whoever can claim on any word first will get the exclusive right to use that word. I don’t have any interest in words like “Allah”, “Bhagwan” and “Jesus” etc. But as I like gossiping and chitchat, I land my claim on “blah blah” and not on “Allah”. And I’m posting it on my blog as a proof that I am the first person who claimed for ownership of this word before someone else could fly away with my “blah blah”.
