 Hi @Eifbian,

 Unfortunately this doesn't sound like WordPress's fault, but rather, your
 server configuration.

 Your server most likely has a security module installed which is blocking
 the request, as it believes it contains malicious javascript or matches a
 known attack.
 You may wish to contact your host and ask if they have mod_security or a
 similar module installed which would block you posting the given text to
 your site.
