Search engine giant Google has been caught censoring its results to protect Islam from criticism and mockery, even while other religions have uncensored results.

You see, Google has a suggestion function that, low and behold, suggests search phrases as you type. Go ahead, just open the homepage in another tab. Now begin typing “Christianity is” and here’s what the list suggests:

• Christianity is bullshit
• Christianity is not a religion
• Christianity Judaism Islam
• Christianity is a lie
• Christianity is false

and many more suggestions along those lines. It provides the results based on commonly-entered phrases beginning with the text you’ve already entered. You’ll find similar results for religions such as Buddhism.

Now go back to the homepage and enter “Islam is”. You got nothing, right? Therein lies the problem. Not only are you not getting negative results for Islam, you’re not getting any suggestions whatsoever. Google has censored its suggestions for Islam, removing the majority-negative list that shows up for other religions.

Google claims it’s all the result of a software issue. It’s apparently just a coincidence that other religions get negative suggestions while Islam, known for worldwide violence in response to criticism or offense, gets no suggestions for the same phrase on Google.

The problem with that excuse? It came on January 7th — 4 days ago. The problem, however, still persists. You’re telling a software issue involving one search phrase can’t be resolved by Google in the span of four days? Even while Google moved swiftly to remove images offensive to Michelle Obama from its search results? Please.

Google is known for its liberal activism and associates. Al Gore is a senior adviser to the search giant. Its philanthropy wing focuses on climate change, hybrid vehicle development, and public health. YouTube, which is owned by Google, has been criticized for hosting Islamic extremist videos in the past, including those advocating terrorism against the United States.

The search results have been censored. If the “software issue” ever ends up being fixed, it’ll be because Google was caught in the act.
