Ultraman comics banned in Malaysia for using 'Allah' Url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&docid=5OWsNOWouSoVUM&tbnid=rY-emm4TrUbxQM:&ved=0CAUQjBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnukethefridge.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F11%2FUltraman_02
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has banned a translation of an Ultraman comic book after it referred to the popular Japanese superhero as "Allah", authorities said Friday, during an ongoing row over use of the word by non-Muslims.

The home ministry, which is in charge of domestic security and censorship, said the Malay language edition of "Ultraman, The Ultra Power" contains elements that can undermine public order and morals.

"Ultraman is an idolised by many children," and equating him with Allah will "confuse Muslim youth and damage their faith," it said in a statement.

It further warned that irresponsible use of the word can provoke Muslims and threaten public safety.

The Malaysian government is currently embroiled in an intense court battle with the Catholic Church over the use of the word "Allah" by non-Muslims, in a case that has raised religious tensions in the majority Muslim country.

Ultraman is a fictional Japanese superhero who fights skyscraper-sized "Kaiju" (monsters), and first appeared on television in the 1960s.

The comic gained popularity worldwide, including in Malaysia, where versions dubbed in Malay were screened on TV and comic books translated into the national language.

The home ministry said other Ultraman comic books were unaffected and that only this edition is banned.

The decision has led to widespread ridicule among Malaysian Facebook and Twitter users -- including from Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who asked "Apa salah Ultraman? (What wrong did Ultraman do?)"

The controversial line can be seen in an image available on social media that describes Ultraman: "He is considered, and respected, as Allah or the Elder to all Ultra heroes."

The ban is enforced under the Printing Presses and Publications Act, a much-criticised law which gives authorities wide-ranging powers over printed material, which was also used to bar the Catholic Church from using "Allah" in its publications.

The home ministry in 2007 threatened to revoke the publishing permit of the Herald, the Catholic Church's newspaper, for using the word in its Malay edition, leading to a seven-year legal battle that has raised religious tensions.

The church is currently seeking leave from the nation's highest court to challenge a lower court's ruling last October that sides with the government.

The tussle has led to a wider struggle over whether the word can be used by non-Muslims in their translated scripture or other practices of worship. — Agence France-Presse

dahil sa mga ganitong dahilan sometimes i wonder kung pano kaya kapag may nude scene sa isang anime napinapanuod ng mga muslim anime fan kung ano magiging reaksyon ng mga magulang nila kung makita yung pinapanuod nila.

Can't they look at it the other way? I don't get it kung bakit hindi maging open-minded ang mga tao sa ganitong mga bagay.. Given na ang mga believers at non-believers at eventually since hindi naman nila controlled ang lahat ng tao sa buong mundo, minsan talaga may mga taong gusto mag exaggerate ng mga bagay bagay tulad sa pagsulat ng mga sidestory or revised stories based sa mga nakikita, naririnig at nababasa nila.

Tsk tsk talaga malaysian government. :S
