问题 Tensions have flared because
The latest attack, on an Evangelical Christian church, caused limited physical damage-just a burned door and a charred entranceway. But the political implications may be more serious.
    Tensions have flared after Malaysia’s High Court ruled that a Roman Catholic newspaper, the Herald, was permitted to use the word "Allah" to describe God in its Malay language editions. Muslim groups argue that Christians using a word so closely associated with Islam could be a ploy to win converts.
    Christians make up around 9% of the population in the majority Muslim state. Most non-Muslims are ethnically Indian or Chinese. The row over the use of the word "Allah" has exposed deep resentments over the treatment of minorities and freedom of religion in Malaysia.
    A government minister told foreign diplomats on Monday the church attacks were the work of extremists. "These were not just attacks on houses of worship" he said, "these were attacks on the values and freedoms all Malaysians share." Under the slogan "One Malaysia", the government has made racial harmony a central policy. Its commitment to that policy is now being severely tested.

选项 A、Malaysia’s High Court used the word "Allah".
B、a Roman Catholic newspaper used the word "Allah".
C、a Catholic newspaper was permitted to use "Allah".
D、Muslim groups don’t allow newspapers to use "Allah".

答案C

解析 新闻提及到,马来西亚最高法院裁决罗马天主教报纸获得准许在其马来语版本中使用“真主”一词形容神,随后紧张的局势加剧。穆斯林群体认为基督徒使用与伊斯兰教相近的词语。是为了赢得皈依者。所以C正确。
