Google’s censoring searches on Islam – not in China, but here!

Folks, while the MSM is focused on Google’s travails with the “People’s Republic” of China – problems they brought on themselves as they acquiesced to that government’s censorship demands – little light has been shed on the search engine’s giant reluctance to auto-fill negative search results on the phrase “Islam is.” Christianity, of course, does not fare equal respect. Try it yourself: go to Google and type “Christianity is” and Google will helpfully complete the search phrase, often with profane contents. Or click on the screen capture below to see it larger.

This is the same search for “Islam is”:

Nothing happens! Google offers no contents. And by the way, I used their browser, Chrome to perform the searches.

Political correctness gone awry is what allowed accused Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Malik Hasanto fall through the cracks. More troubling, according to Time Magazine, “the U.S. military's just-released report into the Fort Hood shootings spends 86 pages detailing various slipups by Army officers but not once mentions Major Nidal Hasan by name or even discusses whether the killings may have had anything to do with the suspect's view of his Muslim faith.”

This is political correctness sung in the high, screeching chord of stupidity.

I hope that Google’s leadership make use of their recently grown backbone and defy self-imposed censorship on subjects regarding Islam in the free world. Censorship may work in places like China but I don’t want it here. Google should stop censoring information, period.
