Interesting article ^^^
thanks for sharing,

I had to try it for myself to believe it...and...there are stranger things in life.lol.
 
Very interesting.

The auto-detect tells you what other people have searched for--as opposed to what Google will actually return in search results.

Note all the insults that people used to search for other religions.

It is reasonable to assume that a search beginning 'Islam is' would reveal the same kinds of insults.

Google is applying censorship in favor of Islam.

That is regrettable, because censorship--whatever the noble intentions--is by its nature a distortion of truth.

Nothing should ever distort any truth.

Speak The Truth.

If you think google is using censorship in our favor, then they sure are doing a bad job at it. It doesn't take much effort to find negative sites about the religion. After all, it is a search engine. I also fail to see how this is distorting the truth?

Google is not responsible for other people's sites (which it finds) but may feel more responsible for that 'suggestions' drop-down--which they do have coding control over.

And yes, no censor can ever do a good job because the truth always comes out.

It's distorting the truth because it hides people's opinions of Islam, at the same time as it reveals those opinions for other religions. The truth is that all major religions have negative opinions expressed about them. Islam is not exempt, and to imply that it is is to tell a lie. A lie is the opposite of the truth.

"It's distorting the truth because it hides people's opinions of Islam".

What?? Intentional or not, if you want to search for "Islam is false" or whatever it is you're looking for, what is stopping you from actually typing it in the search field and hitting the search button? If there is anything out there, it will show up. Again, I still fail to see how this is distorting the truth just based on some auto-complete feature. If you want to learn about the truth, go to an Islamic website or hey, how about an Islamic forum and read/ask questions. Don't rely on some auto feature to give you the truth. Because as you've said, they are people's opinions.

Some people are suggesting since Islam already has "is" in it, that is whats causing it to do that.

I tried "Isfihan is" and "Israel is" and suggestions came up, so it must be something else.

Yea I noticed that as well. I'm guessing it used to work and all this just recently started happening because all these complaints look pretty recent. In any case, if google is scared of retaliation / pro Islam / run by bin laden / are terrorists / whatever other reason people are claiming it to be, I would of imagined them doing this a long time ago.
 
Hmm I just put Islam is on google and there was no glitch there was the same stuff many of which were the same as the other religions.
 
I typed 'Islam is a' and this is what came up.

It depends on the place you are googling from people!

I got totally different results.
 
there's answer available from "google" on this issue, search it. It's something like, keeping in mind muslims aggressive response to such, they avoided such "suggestions"...
 
^ "Islam is" has all good suggestions in only Indonesia and Pakistan.
Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordon etc. have the same :hmm:


(Yes, I actually checked :X)
 
Google has fixed it now :(

I google (from Indonesia) "Islam is..." and now I get the same filthy suggestions as when I typed "christianity is.."
