Yahoo Bans "Allah" As Login; Jesus, Etc., Still Allowed

The soft self-censorship of cowardice continues.

Submitted: if enough media/information institutions bow to the fundamentalist Muslims' demands for special, elevated treatment, it matters not a whit if our government makes it official and actually names Islam as the state religion.

Little by little, we are submitting to Islamist violence and giving up the rights and incidents of a free people.

Note: As Cal writes, she can still find "Allah" profiles on Yahoo. But a newspaper article reports that people are having trouble creating logins with those letters ("Callahan," for example, isn't permitted).

More information is needed, she thinks. I think it's just likely that this is a new-ish restriction, and that previously "Allah" was allowed. Old monickers/logins etc. are just grandfathered.
