Malaysian Court Allows Women's Rights Group To Call Themselves "Sisters in Islam"

reports that yesterday a court in Malaysia dismissed a lawsuit seeking to keep a vocal women's rights group from using the name "Sisters in Islam." The suit was filed by the Malaysian Assembly of Mosque Youth who claimed that the title used by the women's group was confusing to Muslims. They argued that the women's group should operate under its legally registered name--- SIS Forum Malaysia. The court held that plaintiffs lacked standing to file the complaint.
