To Muslims especially: If Yahweh=Allah, why won't the Malaysians release "Allah Bibles"?

I happen agree with the notion that Christians and muslims don't worship the same deity (despite the fact that Arab Christians refer to Yahweh as Allah), but normally muslims dispute that. So I'd be particularly interested in seeing what muslims think of this situation.
