Google Islam is...

There's been a stir recently with regards to Google's search engine.

If you search:

Christianity is
Judaism is
Hinduism is
etc.

You get suggest results like 'cult', 'false', bull ****'.

However, when you search Islam is, you receive nothing.

Article which goes into further detail.

Do you believe it's a bug?

Google aren't exactly one for censorship - I doubt they would remove the results on purpose. Strange bug to have though, so I'm in two minds, but it might be innocent :dontknow:.

It's a bug, rather strange one to have, however.

Did you click search though? If you just write it in the bar, loads of things come up.
Do you think its some Muslim tech guys that have managed to do it?

I just done Hinduism and it said it is fake, ********, satanic, not a religion etc. I don't think you're doing it correctly. But anyhow, weird!

I actually agree with this now.

Especially seen as you can type 'Allah is...' and it comes up with 'a fag' 'Satan' and 'a false God' :p:

To be fair it also has none for 'christians are' or 'jews are'.

it's definitely not a bug.

definitely deliberate.

type in 'peni..' loads of stuff comes up

as soon as you type in the final s, no results come up.

it's deliberate. same thing happens with swearwords.

I think I read somewhere on the FT that the Prince of Dubai was recently in some talks with the big Jew fatcats at Google....maybe that has something do do with it...
