Yahoo Reverses Allah Ban

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wierdest-title-i've-posted-in-awhile dept.

damnal writes "Yahoo's ban on "Allah" in users names, has been reversed. The ban was instituted due to a number of people registering for IDs using specific terms with the sole purpose of promoting hate. Yahoo's comment on the reversal: "We recently re-evaluated the term 'Allah,' and users can now register for IDs with this word because it is no longer a significant target for abuse.""

    I would imagine that Allah does not have need of one. (An ass that is)

    Or I suppose, that if everything belongs to Allah and YOU are being an ass, someone could comply with your request by raping you.
