US Patent and Trademark Office's refusal to register "Stop the Islamization of America."

Applicants advocate that Muslims do not use the term “Islamisation” “in the broad generic way consonant with ‘Islamic’.” Rather, applicants argue there is a second definition of “Islamize” which conveys another meaning. That is, as set forth in the foregoing definitions, “Islamize” also means “[t]o cause to conform to Islamic law or precepts” (as defined at Dictionary.com) and “[m]ake subject to Islamic law: to cause people, institutions, or countries to follow Islamic law” (as defined at Encarta.com). This definition, i.e., to cause to be in conformity with Islamic law, more closely corresponds to the meaning of “Islamisation” proffered by applicants, namely, a sectarianization of a political society through efforts to “make [it] subject to Islamic law.”
