This applies even if your name contains "Allah" within it, as in "Callahan."
"What's your name?"
"Harry Callahan."
"What??? Callahan???? You have insulted Islam!!! You must die!!!!!"
"Feel lucky, punk?"
"Yahoo!Mail bans Allah and Dirty Harry handles," from The Register, with thanks to Richard:
Yahoo! is banning the use of allah in email names - even if the letters are included within another name.This was uncovered by Reg reader Ed Callahan whose mother Linda Callahan was trying to sign up for a Verizon email address. She could not get it to accept her surname.
Enquiries to Verizon revealed that a partnership with Yahoo! was to blame. Yahoo! will not accept any identies which include the letters "allah".
Nor will Yahoo! accept yahoo, osama or binladen. But it will accept god, messiah, jesus, jehova, buddah, satan and both priest and pedophile.
Dear Allah,
Your now a swear word.
losts of love godmessiahjesusjehovabuddahsatanpriestpedophile@yahoo.com
Dear All
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Well, how dare she be named Callahan!
I suspect, joking apart, that Yahoo are well under the heel. I checked Yahoo Images some while back to see if the Mohammed cartoons were there - no sign.
Compare:
Yahoo Images: search for "mohammed cartoons"
Google Images: search for "Mohammed cartoons"
The primary sources are absent from the Yahoo image archive. Let's be blunt: they are obviously censoring their results.
Allah you, wake up and smell the coffee.
"The primary sources are absent from the Yahoo image archive. Let's be blunt: they are obviously censoring their results."
Once again Google turns out to be the most reasonable compared to their competition. Even though Google is big business these days, they are not following the corporate path of political correctness. Nice too see.
scew yahoo!
How about Mohammed, Muahmmad, Mohammet, Mowad, etc? That should prove trickier: there are millions of Muslims with the name "Mohammed", but it could also be used to poke fun at Islam by infidels, so do they block the name or permit it? And what if you have a pet pot bellied pig named Mohammed?
Google is definetly not bowing to the terrorists:

Silly Yahoo. Are they going to ban the 99 titles of Allah, too? How 'bout Allah's "daughters" from the "satanic verses?" I mean, attention to detail is what separates the real dhimmi from the wannabe.
I'm sure it'll still be possible to get haram usernames like:
mohammedsnuttymoongod
houris_gone_wild
streakin_mullah
go_fiqh_yourself
And hey, there's finally a use for 1337("leet")-speak:
4ll4H
Take that, Yallahoo!
Wish I had a Yahoo email account just cancel it.
If anyone does, see if they'll accept:
TheGodofIslamsucks@yahoo.com
Or:
MohammadtheprophetofIslamwasaPedophile@yahoo.com
ALLisAHjoke@yahoo.com
Of course, Dead Swift knew what he was doing when he invented the word Yahoo.
And balless Yahoos they are.
(As for Google, their capitulation to China's censorship led me to switch to using a metaSearch engine instead of supporting their craven 'capitalistic' cowardice.)
They can contact me to apologize at:
IslamIsaSatanicLie@yahoo.com
" In Idaho a teacher was killed and three of his pupils badly injured when militia members of the “Party of Christ”, who object to girls being educated on the same premises as boys, fired into a packed schoolroom".
It was funny until you started to pick on Idaho and the "Party of Christ"
may "I AM" be with you, Boise.
From this article - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/16/china_committee/
"Yahoo! Senior Vice President Michael Callahan"
I wonder what their Vice President's email address is? I've sent a message asking them about the validity of the article. I also asked that if it was true I expected them to close my account and demanded a refund for premium services I've purchased from them. I also told them that if they refuse, I will contact my credit union and report their charges as invalid and unauthorized. I'll let you know what response, if any, I receive.

One of my emails is: Allahisamoongod at gmail dot com. Write me, and I'll write you back!
I found this out months ago when I first tried to register this name using "allah". No matter what I came up with using "allah" (including number extensions), it was rejected ... until I left out the "h".
Something wrong with this news broadcast re Yahoo...
At 3:24EST, I ran a Yahoo search for ALLAH and came up with 23 million hits.
There is even a site called allah.com ... one can guess who initiated this.
Well, since Angela Merkel is the daughter of a Lutheran pastor, I doubt that she would regard the Roman Catholic church as "the one true faith."
But the analogy is otherwise apt.
