A Christian book entitled "Live With the Presence Of Allah" is on sale at St Francis Xavier Cathedral in Malaysia's eastern state of Sabah on Borneo island, February 22, 2009. There have long been disputes over conversions between the Malay Muslim-led government and Christians who make up 10 percent of the population. But government moves to prohibit the use of the word "Allah", the Malay language word for God, by a Catholic newspaper and other religious texts has spurred a new fight.
