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."
They are too busy killing doctors and burning clinics.
Well, to be fair, you should mention those doctors and clinics were dedicated to the wholesale destruction of human fetuses. Your post tries to make it seem like just any old doctors and clinics.
In any case, when's the last time it happened?
Not to mention the amount of time you waste during an occasional Crusade or a Spanish Inquisition.
Oh, sure, get medieval on their ass.
NOTE: I have no religious beliefs at all.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
along those lines...I really think we should ban the word Bush from the internet...it offends me! ;-)
Who is trying to force you? Sheesh, why does everyone feel so threatened that Muslims are trying to force their religion on people? Honestly, when has a Muslim ever come to you on the street and tried to convert you?
/sarcasm Hindus believe they will dominate the world, some Jewish leaders think Israel will as well. Why single Islam out?
No, but that's only because I live in the USA. Muslims are still a big minority here. It's the actions of Muslims in the UK (wanting to set up a state within the state that abides by shari'a law) or muslims in Sweden wearing t-shirts that say, "2030: the year we take over" that give me a good idea of what Muslims intend for me once the Muslim population in the USA is significant enough.
I notice your attempt to change the subject to Christianity that you commit several times in your defense. I can understand why: you'd much rather me talk about Christianity than continue talking about Islam. By discussing Islam its ugly secrets come out and the Kufr will wake up to the threat.
The Penalty for Homosexual sex in public is death. According to Shariah, you need 3 witnesses of the act, which makes it pretty clear that you can't enfore this law in the privacy of your own home, and Islam regards privacy of the home as an important rule.
Under Shari'a, as a dhimmi, I cannot testify against a Muslim whereas a Muslim can testify against me. And I've read enough threads on ummah.com to know the general feeling of Muslims against homosexuality. Three muslims can just choose to testify against me and then I'm murdered in accordance with Shari'a. Oh, muslims would never do this? Sure... and they'd never beat up gays or make bombs to kill children, either.
Shariah does allow adoption, although it prefers someone from the extended family.
"...Nor has He made your adopted sons your (biological) sons. Such is (only) your (manner of) speech by your mouths. But Allah tells (you) the Truth, and He shows the (right) Way. Call them by (the names of) their fathers; that is juster in the sight of Allah. But if you know not their father's (names, call them) your brothers in faith, or your trustees. But there is no blame on you if you make a mistake therein. (What counts is) the intention of your hearts. And Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful." 33:4-5
In other words, I'm not my son's parent. I'm merely a "caregiver". This is in direct violation of my rights as an adoptive parent, and one of many good reasons to reject Islam.
It is NOT permissible for a Muslim to lie, unless threatened by death for telling the truth. "Taqiyya" is a Shi'ite thing where they are afraid to pray differently around Sunnis. It does not usually allow a Muslim to lie to non-Muslims, and lying is a major and hellworthy sin.
Note the key word: "it does not usually allow a Muslim to lie to Kufr". In other words, it is sometimes permissible! So much for the "major and hellworthy sin"! The muslim from whyislam.org indicated that it was permissible to lie to the Kufr "only during war." And which "house" do I live in? It's the Dar al-Harb, correct? That means "house of war", correct?

Christians believe they will dominate the world. Oh God, I better lock my doors and avoid those Catholic neighbors of mine.
Because of the violent actions of Muslims and the hundreds of violent terror attacks that take place all over the world in the name of Allah and for the purpose of Jihad. I know that I can post blasphemous images of Jesus Christ with impunity. Can I do the same thing with images of your prophet? Muslims are already calling for the murder of the "blasphemers", as expected, and the cartoonists, as usual, have had to go into hiding to avoid the murderous wrath of vengeful Muslims. The Quran sanctions violence (remember "strike at the neck of unbelievers"? Hence, behead
I don't make the rules. I just make fun of them.
So would your solution have a centrally controlled economy, where threats like this are met by government-sponsored counterstrikes directed at whatever the terrorists hold dear?
Yep, like nuking Mecca.
By that logic, maybe we should have the US go overseas and forcibly occupy some prominent Arab nation, in the name of a "War on Terror". Yeah, that's the ticket...
No- you're thinking late 20th century tactics, rather than 6th century tactics and 21st century armaments. Military occupation is not sufficient to be called terrorism- especially the weak-willed hand-out-candy-to-kiddies occupations that Americans have been doing since the 1940s. No, I'm talking more a "kill 500 of their relatives for every one of ours that dies by a suicide bomber" type terrorism. Or better yet "Kill every male child, take everybody else ans sell them as slaves, tear down their holy city so that no stone sits on top of another, and sow the fields with salt". Worked to end the Zionist Terrorism of 70 A.D. It took until 1948 before Jews once again gained a significant presence in Jerusalem.
SJW: a person who perceives an injustice, and while correcting it, commits a greater injustice.
How many people were killed or injured by muslim fanatics in just the last few months? How many by christian fanataics?
How many people were killed or injured by Christian fanatics in the last few months? If we count George W. Bush as a Christian fanatic I don't think this is so one-sided as you seem to think.
