Yes, that's right Yahoo will not allow the letter combination "allah". So if your last name happens to be Callahan then your screwed. If you want to have the screen name yahwehblowschucks then your find but no allah for you. As a Christian this upsets me as I have to put up with those kind of things all the time but some poor Muslim is offended. Frankly I’m offended as well. Difference is I don't threaten to blow up people.
This goes on to my point about all of these shenanigans. Yahoo has a problem as any other company who might make the same choice. If they try to cater to the few they will end up catering to the many and we will have all of us will have to have numbers for our login names at Yahoo. On the other hand if Yahoo is only catering to the Muslims do to threat of violence then that just means violence is a good way of changing public policy at Yahoo. Neither choice is good. The third options is to make it a limited free for all and then just put everyone in the same messed up shoes as my self or maybe the Buddhist or Hindus.
