There are apples, oranges, and Muslims
and then there are the Malay Muslims
Arab and Indonesian Christians use
the word Allah in lieu of God, not Zeus
But the Malaysian Islamists strongly oppose
the Christians whom they see as their foes
The Christians should be forbidden to say
Allah, and should be asked to God only pray
Is Godallah the creator of the whole humankind
or She wasted Her time designing the Malaykind?
Seems similar to the past nationalist son of soil
or bhumiputera policy which was nothing but a boil
