Hello everyone:
It has come to my attention that there are several people posing as Muslims in Yahoo answers. To muslims and non-muslims, this is a pitty. If you see anyone pretending to be whatever your religion is or if you see fishy stuff like that please reported. I Could point out 8 profiles doing this, but I WILL NOT. Also there is a virus going on do not open it. :My dearest bla bla" is the subject line. I got this email today thought I would let everyone know.
Thanks!
Ling

There are men posing as women, idiots posing as Christians, Christians posing as Atheists.
If you get enough answers anyone, even a Christian or Atheist, can usually spot the right answers from the idiots and imposters. But there has to be enough right answers.
I have a virus scanner on my system.
What worries me more is there are people here deleting and reporting things that are legitimate or fairly leglitimate and some of them are ISlamics and some are Christians and some are possibly just teenies out to have a fun time.
We should all take the good and the bad, as there are always two sides to a coin. Every side of every issue has both good and bad and to eliminate the bad is to paint a false history and make things biased.
Do we want Yahoo White Wash answers, Yahoo Re-Write history Answers. Or do we live with reality, good, bad and indifferent.

Asalum Allikum sister....ones posing as Muslim as quite easy to spot they never have there facts right and are inaccurate in things they say. But thanks ill keep a look out. Will this make me careful when talking about religion? No. because i never insult other religions to begin with and always inshallah answer questions regarding Muslim and Islam with honesty and truth. So i shall be discussing religion exactly the same as i did before. And i dont let strangers send me email but good for you for warning people.

I don't see why we should be careful when talking about religion. I think we need to be careful about what we say about other people's religion (that just might come back and bite us in the a.ss later).
I have seen the "Muslims" you are talking about. At least 3 or 4. But I view that just like the one's that do it to Christians as well. I usually ignore and move on. They will only end up hurting themselves.
Thanx for the warning about the virus. Though normally I don't open anything unless I know who it's from... my son, on the other hand thinks if it's in his e-mail then it must be from a friend.

That's true. A lot of ppl on here are posing to be one thing or another to further their own agenda. It's really sad. But, the truth always survives, and I believe ppl are smart enough to decipher what's real and what's fake. So, I think we should trust our intuition when receiving answers from others.

I sure hope we shouldn't have to be careful talking about religion in a religious section.
This is just life, on the net and IRL are comparable. There are bored people with agenda's all around us who want to make life miserable for as many people as they can, because misery loves company.
Thanks for letting "us" know.

Well, I was unaware of this but I will be careful. I do not open emails from people I do not know so that would be a non isuue but thank you anyway for bringing it to my attention.

Yes I am aware of this situation. Sadly people are taking our name and misleading others about our beliefs :( Sad but true... Yahoo might not do anything though!
