Yahoo! is banning the use of allah in email names - even if the letters are included within another name.

but you can still call yourself the other words for it like God? This is stupid, and it shows that this is just a plain old arab and Iranian problem. Just using religion as a mask. Why should we have to appeasse only one group? why not bann it in chinese too.
