On 31 December 2009 the High Court of Malaysia ruled that a Catholic newspaper could print the word "Allah" to refer to God in the native Malay language edition of The Catholic Herald, as has been done since the 1800s (local blogger Andrew explains).
The ruling has resulted in the vandalism of eight churches, ranging from paint to arson by angry protesters.
Andrew has a photopost of the protests and a couple of newstories, as well.
Please, pray for the Christians of Malaysia.
Update: CathNews USA reports the number of the churches targeted since the ruling at nine.
