What's Islam? Don't Ask Google
FOX News
Sunday, January 10, 2010
Type a few words into the search field on Google's home page and the
engine automatically returns a helpful list of popular, similar
searches for the words you've typed in so far -- a convenient way to
find the right information.
Enter "Christianity is" and you'll find results that, while
offensive, at least indicate common discussions on the Internet.
Likewise, type "Judaism is" and Google suggests other, potentially
offensive searches such as "Judaism is false" and "Judaism is not a
race."
But type "Islam is" into the search engine and Google's auto-results
pane mysteriously vanishes, leading some to conclude that Google,
whose mantra is "don't be evil," is censoring its search results.
According to Google's Web site, the query suggestions that appear as
you type are drawn from from searches you've done (if you're logged
in), searches done by users all over the world, sites in the search
index and ads in Google's network.
The company also explains that "We try to filter out suggestions that
include pornographic terms, dirty words, and hate and violence terms.
If you encounter a term that should not be suggested, please let us
know by posting in the Google Web Search Help Forum."
Perhaps the returned results are so inappropriate that all results
have simply been turned off, an option some Internet users label
'cowardly.' After all, search for hot-button items such as
"scientology is" or "Muhammad is" and the results are even more
offensive.
A Google spokesman explained that the weird absence of results is
just a software problem: "This is in fact a bug and we're working to
fix it as quickly as we can." But the company would not respond to
requests for clarification.
An intriguing corollary: Google offers search suggestions for future
tense queries as well. Ask "Christianity will" and Google suggests
"Christianity will end, it will disappear," and "Christianity will
end." Ask the same about Islam and Google notes that "Islam will
dominate the world" and "Islam will destroy Europe."
Editor's Note: Coming to the dance late still puts you at the dance,
we suppose. That this publication was censored by Google in 2006 and
FOX is just getting around to reporting on their censorship
practices, well, at least they got around to it...

The popular saying, "All I wanted to know about Islam I learned on
9/11" holds true for all countries where Muslim terrorists have
perpetrated acts of terror (simply change the date).
