What's Islam? Don't Ask Google
FOXNews.com
Google's search engine returns common results to most queries as you type. But the "don't be evil" company appears to be censoring its results when it comes to Islam.
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. [...]

Wow.
While a seemingly unimportant item, I beleve this is a microcosm of where everything is headed.
As usually .... Mark shea would call that : "Because the Church don't create fatwas"...
Sweet Canada, it's true. Apparently it autofills for Shinto, Hinduism, Baha'i, and Buddhism.
How remarkably pathetic.
Um, was anybody else's top result for Christianity "Christianity is bullsh*t"? Wow...
If you check out the Yahoo! search engine, you get some answers. Some are nice (Islam is the way of life) and some not (Islam is false).
David,
That was the first--of several--offensive and vicious results that came up for me too. Same with Judaism.
Then I punched in "Islam is" and the one and only result I got was:
Islamabad is the capital of what country?
98% Democrat.
