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."
...slashdot hasn't!
I really hope that offended someone in Denmark.
So you're telling me I can't use my "mallaholic" screenname?
Nuts to you, Yahoo!
Here we go again, Good thing Yahoo doesn't have embassies to torch. :)
I'm expecting a flood of Allah and YWHW Slashdot registrations today.
Muhammed is said to be unimpressed with the maturity level of the average Slashdotter.
Saskboy's blog is good. 9 out of 10 dentists agree.
This is NOT your personal war! Those people have rights!

Or do Yahoo fear losing revenue from Muslim countries...or do they fear a bomb?
Yes. What they fear is that someone, let's call him Cats, has already set them up the bomb. It seems that all of Yahoo!'s base already belong to him. They have no chance to survive, but are able to make their time.
For great justice....

Make one of your own. Share with your friend. C'mon, folks, the time is now to be juvenile!
Like the old saying goes: "The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it." Well, dammit, that might be true, but I'm tired of people damaging the Internet! Let's do what we can to make them unhappy.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
yes, everyone else in the world can not believe you guys voted the bush administration in again either.
"What's so dope about skeet? White people don't know what it means yet... When they figure it out, they're going to be like, 'My God, what have we done?!'"
Ah yes, good old Randall Gay. Wonder if his friends call him Randy Gay? :\ (Though that might be a bit of a Britishism...)
++ Say to Elrond "Hello.".
Elrond says "No.". Elrond gives you some lunch.
Matthias: Look, I don't think it should be a sin, just for saying "Jehovah".
[Everyone gasps]
Jewish Official: You're only making it worse for yourself!
Matthias: Making it worse? How can it be worse? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!
Jewish Official: I'm warning you! If you say "Jehovah" one more time (gets hit with rock) RIGHT! Who did that? Come on, who did it?
Stoners: She did! She did! (suddenly speaking as men) He! He did! He!
Jewish Official: Was it you?
Stoner: Yes.
Jewish Official: Right...
Stoner: Well you did say "Jehovah. "
[Crowd throws rocks at the stoner]
Jewish Official: STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! STOP IT! All right, no one is to stone _anyone_ until I blow this whistle. Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if they do say, "Jehovah. "

He said it again!

This is a rediculous accusation! Oh wait...
Consider this. "Pen" is an ok word, "Island" is ok too. So I want to celebrate Pen Island with a domain name... penisland.com? Oops?
The classic real-world example of that being when the Italian company Powergen created a website with the perfectly obvious name of "PowergenItalia".
Yahoo! should be praised for doing their part for Homeland Security. How so?
1. Ban "Osama" in e-mail account name
2. When Osama Bin Laden tries to create an account to communicate with fellow terrorists, he finds that he is unable to!
If all e-mail providers and ISPs did this, we'd effectively isolate Osama Bin Laden from the Internet! What a fabulous victory in the War On Terror (or whatever Bush is calling it this month).
You know, since unhappiness over cartoons from Denmark somehow translated into burning down a KFC in Pakistan. You know, that famous Danish outfit, "Kentucky Fried Chicken."
This reminds me of the silliness I heard a few days ago about how they're no longer calling that flaky pastry a "danish." Instead they're gonna start calling it a Rose of the Prophet Mohammed. (Or is it "The" Rose of the Prophet Mohammed? I'm sorry, I don't know, please don't kill me!)
Well whaddya know, America isn't the only country that pulls this kind of dumbass shit.

So when some white guy assaults me, you and your family members should have the crap kicked out of you all to discourage him?
If that white guy was a cop and my cousin, and my entire family are members of the KKK- YES. It's the only way to stop that kind of behavior.
What's that? His actions are nothing to do with you?
If he's a member of my family, and we raised him with a racist faith, and we let him become a cop instead of putting him in a mental institution, it has *everything* to do with us.
But of course all of the families living in Mecca are responsible for the actions of twenty or thirty people who between them crashed the planes on 11th September, let off the July bombs in London and the train bombing in Madrid. It's that confused and racist thinking (basing your treatment of people on their race rather than their actions), that leads to things like invading Iraq in the "War on Terror" when the great evil Al Quaeda actually were enemies of Saddam's regime. And they were no doubt rejoicing to see him fall and the country (formerly secular for all that it was a dictatorship) opened up to becoming a theocracy and it's people hating the USA.
Actually, no- the invasion of Iraq had almost nothing to do with 9-11, and EVERYTHING to do with the oil for food scandal (not so much that it was going on, but it was being conducted in Euros instead of US$). The connection to terrorists happened only after Saddam Hussein was already out of power.
You're attitude is ultimately an all or nothing extermination of other races.
Actually, it's a peacefull planet- after the extermination of all of those troublesome human beings.
And if that were ever achieved.
It's been possible since 1965.
The remaining callous survivors would surely find some other way to divide themselves into groups that can go to war against each other.
There are no survivors of nuclear fire to divide themselves into groups.
Because if a few minor physiological differences are sufficient to justify lumping millions of people into the same category, then I'm sure there are other genetic differences that could be used. It's all about power.
Yes, it is- and that search for power means the end of the world populated by human beings.
And if the whole world became white, that need to be in control wouldn't vanish because racial unity only exists in the presence of other races. So the same cycle begins again.
At this point, that isn't even a choice- the whites no longer have replacement population growth, and haven't for several decades now.
Only this time, there's a bit less of the World, and bit less cultural variety to be wiped out, 'cause it's already been nuked or exterminated.
And eventually it will all be exterminated- because human beings are not capable of self-government.
By the way, if you think your "us and them" division isn't racial, but is based on religious belief and is only co-inicidentally racist for historical reasons, then you really need to get to know more muslims. "They" are not a they, anymore than you and Bush or Putin or Britney or Hitler or Trotsky are a homogenous group of believers.
Actually, I consider all four of those to be a homogenous group of believers- believers in something that Islam has been missing for several centuries now. Look for what those four have in common- and what Islam currently lacks- and you'll see what I mean. In fact, bin Laden accidentally introduced this to Islam- in a fashion almost as twisted as Hitler himself- and it's now out of his control.
That one thing is that MANKIND HAS THE RIGHT TO INTERPRET MORALITY FOR HIMSELF. It's a very dangerous belief. For the most part- 9/10 people- they have no problem with this belief. But it's that 1/10th of humanity who think they're better than everybody else that causes the problem. And I'm convinced we're now at t
SJW: a person who perceives an injustice, and while correcting it, commits a greater injustice.
Randy is a common name I see in the US. In the UK it's slang for someone who is sexually excited.
I don't want to be in the business meeting with our US collegues when Mr.Randy Slapper is introduced...straight faces won't be in it!
