Google Censoring Islam?

10 January 2010 No Comment

You must be aware of the auto suggestion feature of Google wherein whenever you type something to search it automatically displays some of the most common searched terms related to your query. But did you ever try searching what it displays if you type “Christianity is” in Google.com (U.S.) search? Have a look at the screenshot below:

Now try searching for “Islam is” in the same window. Google displays nothing in the search suggestion. The search suggestions are displayed from based on your past searches if you are logged in, popular search queries on the internet by other people and from Google’s own ad network Google adwords. This means that Google is censoring the search as opposed to it’s motto “Don’t be evil”. Google says it will filter results that include pornographic terms, dirty words, hate queries and violence. Seems like Islam too falls under these categories.

Next time try searching for “Christianity will” and “Islam will” and let me know in comments section what you get?
