Parents in the US are taking legal action after they were banned from giving their newborn daughter the surname ‘Allah’.
Elizabeth Handy and Bilal Walk from the state of Georgia want to name their 22-month-old daughter ZalyKha Graceful Lorraina Allah, but the state Department of Public Health has refused to issue a birth certificate.
Now, the couple have gone through the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to file a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court because they are unable to attain a Social Security number for their daughter without a birth certificate.

Thank God the state has intervened to save this poor girl from all manner of difficulties and possible discrimination. Since when do you have a right to make your child the target of all sorts of shit?
ZalyKha? It will be fun to correct people her whole life. Thanks Mum and Dad.
