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."

That's not all that google censors. I have found on occasion that their image search function will not pull up certain images - usually unflattering images of leftists or liberals - that I can find without too much trouble using Microsoft's Bing search engine.
Google is most definitely becoming Skynet - the founders and owners are all rabid Obama-ists, and it has become de riguer for liberals to twist and distort the facts, preferably from behind the scenes, solely for political gain.

Caving in to repressive governments and ways of life seems to be the norm for Google.

When I type "Allah is" into Google I get all sorts of awful results. Why would Google censor rude statements about Islam but not about Allah? It doesn't make sense and that's why I think we're dealing with a bug here.

When I type "Obama is" into Google, the result I get is "Obama is the Antichrist" followed by other equally unflattering statements. So much for you theory, right?

Not surprising, They did away with the "google bomb" after Dear Leader was sworn in. Like libs everywhere, they're hypocrites.
And that's how it stayed until 2007, when Google developed an algorithm to detect what became known as "Google bombs" and re-directed the term "miserable failure" to non-political pages.
Unfortunately for Obama, "miserable failure" reverted back to his bio when he moved into the White House. The new president was also Google-bombed with the phrase "cheerful achievement."
But this time, Google stepped in quickly, rectifying the situation in a few days, instead of four years.
The difference in time did not go unnoticed.

Not quite. Google ended the Google Bomb by January 2007.

I didn't like Google's politics, but I used them anyways. I changed my search engine to Bing. We'll see how that goes. Screw 'em......

Google caved in to China and censors their available search results there. I have no doubt that they can alter the results for us in the same way.

I've found that Bing won't return the results I'm actually looking for. Same search google has in the top 5 hits and bing won't have in the top 6 or 7 pages. I've tested three times with the same result, won't use them again.
-
try "alltheweb" if you don't like bing . google is my last choice, as their lists are almost pro liberal, and mask all lefty populist flaws. Kingfish Long and his populist, isolationist soak the rich politics were very difficult to wring out of google. Trying to give linkes, when I was attempting to demonstrate how old news and phony Obama's politics were was difficult, even with alltheweb.

Bing is a new search site. I use it too.

Looks like they have changed their minds...

Still a business in a free country. I might add, if the PTB at Google were right-leaning, would anyone here care? I've stated my distaste for businesses that advertise their political leanings; Google is no exception.
