Ok, I'm going to take your question seriously, so here you go.
Do you really think God is so petty or so small that he can't handle an open discourse about him and his nature? I mean, this is God, a little irreverence isn't going to hurt he's feelings, HE'S GOD, I'm sure he can handle it.
Not only that, but if he is going to intervene on things that are offensive to his being, I hope he'd start with poverty, war and disease before he started smiting Yahoo Answers.
Also, have you read the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis? One of the concepts introduced in that very interesting book is that demons would prefer that we not think about God and spiritual matters at all. Because if we doubt, or even have irreverent conversations, at least we're bothering to think about it at all. We're not being apathetic. The fact that there's even so much discussion on Religion gives me hope. And if someone makes me laugh too, I think that's a good thing. If God doesn't have a sense of humor, we were all screwed a long time ago.

Is there a problem with free expression and exchange of ideas?
Are the true believers afraid of people who challenge their belief system?
It shouldn't be a problem. I am open to people challenging my beliefs. In fact I enjoy it very much because it makes me think and really clarify my position.
If there is a God like the one of the Bible, then as you say people ought to be able to call on him to do something as simple as closing down Yahoo. But there again, maybe God likes this kind of discussion.

I'm with you 99.9%. But I don't think it's Yahoo! that He is going to shut down, he's going to shut down the entire human race, believers and non-believers alike. BUT people like you and me who have suffered because of His name, will surely have a place in His kingdom in the end.
1 Peter 3:10-22 For, "He who would love life, And see good days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "Don't fear what they fear, neither be troubled." But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear: having a good conscience; that, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good manner of life in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil. Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which he also went and preached to the spirits in prison, who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

People are simply voicing their opinions. If God exists then He knew all of these opinions even before He created Adam and Eve. God doesn't need to read a web site to know what people think.

You're just mad because your last "question" was removed. It wasn't a question at all. It was a statement, and a rather absurd one at that.
Numerology & Palmistry to prove Islam is the one true path? BAH!
I was posting an answer to your "question", and was told it was removed because it violated the guidelines. Now I suppose you're going to cry "conspiracy" and assume you're a victim, just because you're a Muslim trying to evangelize people with your hocus-pocus pseudo science.
You think because you were censored that God will shut down this forum? I hope God grants you the ability to be HONEST with yourself & others, and realize that you broke the rules. Stop crying wolf!

God will take care of the ones that speak against Him. As for the statement made by pyrohypnotik, I believe there was a great ship built in the 1800's and one of the last things that was said about it was that not even God could sink it. Please tell me, Where is that ship now?

Well since "god" is as powerless as any other pixie or leprchaun, I think that Yahoo has nothing to fear.
Just like anyone else who fears a mythological fabrication.
