Western Union Doesn't Like Mohammed

...or Hussein, or Ahmed.

Western Union is cooperating with the government to stop terror financing.

"Western Union told me that if I send money to Sahir Mohammed, the money will be blocked because of his name," said 36-year-old Abdul Rahman Maruthayil, who later sent the money through UAE Exchange, a Dubai-based money transfer service.

In a similar case, Pakistani Qadir Khan said Western Union blocked his attempt this month to wire money to his brother Mohammed for a cataract operation.

"Every Mohammed is a terrorist now?" Khan asked.


Yeah, maybe the net is being cast a bit wide...the money is released when the sender and recipient provide IDs showing they are not a list of suspected terrorists.

3 Mohammed is the name given to the prophet of God. These people are not the prophet of God so why do they have his name? It's time Muslims stop insulting God by giving the name of his prophet to ordinary men.

4 Yes, cause there are no people named Jesus or anything.

5 Mohammed is the name of a murdering, psychopathic, nutcase pedophile who unleashed one of the greatest plagues humanity has ever known. Islam and all its adherents should be wiped from the face of the earth.
