Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names
szembek writes "According to The Register it seems that Yahoo! is banning the use of the string "Allah" in all screen names. The issue apparently became apparent when Linda Callahan attempted to use her surname in her screen name. The following link has an interesting list of terms that Yahoo does allow, and ones they don't."
I will not be told when and where I may use the name of some 7th century bi-sexual paedophile.
Note, I have not used any names, if you are offended, it is because you know it is historically accurate, and the truth hurts.
I swear, they have the utmost respect for other religions and always live the higher standard everyday. Their media couldn't possibly be one of the most hateful in the world.
Not to disagree with your point, but there's plenty of justification in the Christian Bible to justify killing-in-the-name-of. Mostly in the Old Testament, to be sure, but keep in mind that the punishment prescribed by Leviticus for breaking most of the Ten Commandments was death by stoning (and last I checked, no branch of the church has officially repudiated these sections as being inaccurate).

> Someone who probably bashes Muslims in every other sentence
It is ludicrous to suggest that just because someone is "right-wing" that they bash Muslims. It may be true, as I have never heard of him, but unless you have, you have no basis for your statement.
