Who can use the word "Allah?" Bibles seized in Malaysia

Who has the right to use the word "Allah?" Only Muslims?

Islamic authorities in Malaysia confiscated 300 Bibles because they used the word "Allah" to refer to God.

Malay courts had ruled earlier that it was illegal for non-Muslims to that word. The BBC News says "people of all faiths use the word Allah in Malay to refer to their gods."
