Attacks on churches in Klang Valley, Malaysia

I am hearing of a spate of attacks on various churches (Catholic & Protestant) in the Klang Valley area in Malaysia. Apparently, it has something to do with a Malaysian court decision which held that government regulations banning non-Muslim publications from using the word "Allah" to be unconstitutional. I have also read that some Catholic publications have made mention of the word "Allah", & the publication that word did not go down well.

Anyway, the church attacks are appalling & deplorable, absolutely disgraceful! They are nothing more than cowardly displays of intolerance, & deserve all the condemnation they can get. They are so uncalled for - just because there are objections to a particular word being published in a particular publication, does not call for places of worship to be attacked. Those attacks are just the latest display of hostility & persecution against the Lord & His people.

At least we Christians can take comfort in knowing that God's justice will be done one day, that God loves His people, & that God will protect & comfort those affected by the church attacks. Vengeance for these attacks shall be God's.
