Is it GODZILLA?

brought to you by Quizilla
It seems there's a blogger whose site is called Davezilla who is being sued for copyright infringement by the people who own the rights to Godzilla. Apparently this is just because he uses the word "zilla" in his blog. As a result of this, his friends in the blogging community are changing their blog titles or names to end with "zilla". If I joined in this trend, I could be Muhajabahzilla.

It's things like this that make me wonder if I really want to go into law.

If you go into law and promise not to involve yourself in frivolous cease and desist letters like this one, you should be fine. ;^)

As salaamu alaiykum-
Regarding secon guessing going into the legal profession, it seems hardly likely that a practicing Muslim will feel comfortable "enforcing" American law longterm.

I was a paralegal, but decided that I could no longer support or further something other than the law of Allah.

I just thought I would post this in case you had not thought of potential conflicts that you may encounter in future. Even in a field as helpful as environmental law for instance.

As-salaamu alaykum,

Jazakallah khayrun for your feedback, sister Ummaziza. I have thought quite a bit about this issue and there are many fields of law that I would not want to go into because of conflicts with Islam. However, I hope to be able to make use of my skills to help Muslims in their dealings with the American legal system. It is in the hands of Allah SWT.

W'as-salaam alaykum
