that was unexpected. but I guess I should have expected it given how much islam is iconoclastic. it's probably muslims protesting the use of the name of allah in email addresses that caused it (alternate explanation: the word was raising too much false positives in Xkeyscore)
- uncomputation 6y ago1. That’s not what iconoclastic means. If you actually care about iconoclasm in Islam, the Saudi government has unfortunately destroyed almost 90% of Muslim holy sites without a word from other countries. 2. The Second Commandment Christians follow is “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain” and I can tell you a lot of Christians follow that. 3. You have it backwards. It’s not Muslims’ fear of the name of God, it’s Yahoo’s fear of literally just the Arabic word for “God.”
