So the internet lords (aka .ummah) have created some 589 new domain names (besides the usual .com, .net, .edu, .gov, etc.) that will be available by the end of the year. Interesting that you will be able to get .islam for your new web site but they don’t offer a .christian domain name. There is .lds, .mormon and .wow! .christmas but that season is now about as Christian as Islam is (can you say .blackfriday? Yes! it’s there!). There is .church, but that’s a little vague. There’s no .judaism either, but .kosher. And of course there is .gay, .lgbt, .hiv, .porn, .sex, .wang, and finally .wtf (and no, that doesn’t stand for Wednesday-Thursday-Friday).
But Islam not only has .islam available, they have .ummah and .shia as well. Poor Sunnis. I guess you’re left out, too. There is .ist on the list as well, which is kind of weird. Maybe the true believers should have demanded .islamist.
I suppose the Internet ummahs figured that surely Christians must be able to more closely identify with at least one of the hundreds of new unique domain names. Perhaps they had .rip in mind. After a most thorough scan of the list I did find one that Christians should appropriate: .fish.
