I think Sylvia Else has nailed it.

If you type "islamis" (sans quotes) into Google you get, amongst other suggestions

islamism 2,030,000 results
islamist watch 2,070,000 results
islamist terrorism 9,140,000 results
islamization 1,250,000 results
etc etc

Doesn't look like censorship to me.

Just anothe Islamophobic troll from HermanYutic, methinks.

It's a very bad habit, HermanYutic, to deliberately mis-read other people's explanations, simply so that you can have another bash at your sordid anti-Muslim campaign.

>>There will be 1,140,000 results. Therefore "Islam is bulltish" is an even more common search than "Christianity is bulltish"<<

As others have already pointed out, the number of results returned bears absolutely no relationship to the popularity of the search criteria.

Try this experiment for yourself.

Type in "Christianity is not a religion"

The top three results are "Christian" sites, www.christinyou.net, www.knightforchrist.com and www.allaboutreligion.org.

The rest of the results follow pretty much the same pattern.

So in fact anyone actually wanting information on why Christianity should not be considered a religion will be bitterly disappointed.

Is this evidence of a conspiracy by Google, to surreptitiously insert pro-Christian propaganda when serving results to non-believers?

Are they in league with US Evangelicals, to subtly assist the conversion of all those seekers-after-truth, who misguidedly want evidence that Christianity is not a religion after all, but simply another of the many religious cults that litter the planet?

No, it's just the way search engines work.

Do I think Google should censor the internet? No, I don’t.

Do I think that the lack of Google Suggest searches after “islam is” indicates that Google is censoring the internet? No, I don’t.

Here are a few searches that trail out the same way as “islam is”:

mateship is
blacktown is
herman is

No doubt with time, and sufficient determination to uncover a conspiracy theory everywhere I look, I could come up with a theory that Google is trying to deny the existence of Australian Aborigines, and aboriginal place names:

gurrumul is
garigal is
dreamtime is
eora is
cabramatta is
goonoo goonoo is
wangaratta is

Spooky, eh?

The search suggestions can be turned off from the search-settings form, reached from the link at the top right of the search page.

Dear HermanYutic,

How could anything be capable of surprising
you Sir - with your closed mind?

You can't beat a pickled egg!
