The above title is the title of a post that appeared in the blog "uppercaise" (click here to read) which was adapted from the Malaysian Insider.
In that posting, Bong Alang, the village headman is quoted as saying, "Without 'Allah' who is going to help us? This is our history, how are we supposed to suddenly change God's name?"
A picture of the hymnal (which was seized by the police but was subsequently returned) was also included in the post.
I find the headman's question a little strange and they have chosen to omit a comma in the hymnal's title. Why I think so?
Well according to the Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4 reads, "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one!" and also Mark 12:29, "... Hear, O Israel, the LORD our GOD is one."
The Al-Kitab translates the above verses as: "Dengarlah, hai orang Israel: TUHAN itu Allah kita, TUHAN itu esa!" (Ulangan 6:4) and "... Dengarlah, hai orang Israel, Tuhan Allah kita, Tuhan itu esa." (Markus 12:19)
Or does the headman use a different translation of the Bible?
