I see few problems with this position:<br>
<br>
- As Tapani already outlined, responding to anything with violence
should not be encouraged (not that it isn't happening all the time
and will continue to happen until there are more than two human
beings around).<br>
<br>
- What offends one, might bring joy to others. There are many
examples, including religion based.<br>
<br>
- Removal of an registration, based on someone's desires is not any
of TLD Registry's business. Dragging in registries in such debates
is not productive. This has already been demonstrated number of
times. The content will just move elsewhere. Registries deal with
labels, not content. This is like asking the whatever agency to
rename an street, because serious crime was committed on that
address.<br>
<br>
- It is absurd that an Government has to sign a contract with a
private company (Google) to do mutual favors. This has never ended
well for both sides...<br>
<br>
It also occurs to me, that the various "religious" (*) norms were
formed and flourished because it was possible to achieve certain
level of isolation and encapsulation of the various groups. Internet
broke all this, as there is practically no way to separate yourself
from the rest of the Internet, except to disconnect.<br>
