Should Google censor the internet?
It already does, apparently.
Regular readers will be aware of the robust repartee between
the "Islamophobes" and the apologists on this forum.
Some have pointed out that it seems OK to criticise Christianity,
but not OK to criticise Islam.
Well it appears that Google agrees.

I did not believe this article when I read it either,
so I tried it for myself.
Using Google to search "Christianity is..."
reveals all sorts of derogatory recommendations.
Fair enough.
Using Google to search "Islam is..."
reveals no recommendations at all.
This cannot be a chance occurrence.
We know that the Organisation of the Islamic Conference
is actively seeking to ban all criticism of Islam at the UN level.

Now it seems that their message is getting through to the gatekeepers of the internet.
Should we be worried?
Or should all criticism of Islam be banned?

Google just go on popularity. Would not believe any conspiracy theory. They have a machine do most of the work and figure these things out. they only censor material brought to their attention that is against US law, like child pornography or spam sites.

Secular humanism hate Christianity because it exposes there godless lifestyle and future judgement. The best their High Priests can do is hide behind pseudo science in order to justify perversion. They see little threat from Islam because it is just as godless as there own dogmas.

there is something wrong with your assertion

I typed in "islam is" into Google and got 89.7 million references

I typed "christianity is" into Google and got 34.2 million references

I typed in "islam is crap" into Google and got 2.4 million references

I figure if an anti-islamic censorship campaign was in operation I would have found no "islam is crap" references

Col Rouge,
There is nothing wrong with my assertion.
Just type in
"Christianity is"
There will be a box which drops down with a list of "recommendations"
or prompts, based on frequent search requests (I presume) for you to click on to save search time.
Now type in
"Islam is"
There will not be a list of "recommendations"
or prompts for you to click on to save search time.

TheMissus,
OK then,
Type in
"Hinduism is"
or
"Buddhism is"
and see that likewise to "Christianity is"
there is a list of recommendations,
many of them negative.
Your explanation does not hold water.

I find the stupid dropdown box a pain in the arse and would rather it was not there at all...

does anyone know how to switch it off?

so I still think you are "tipping at windmills"
