I'm typically a strong advocate of Google. I'm a big fan of GMail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Body Wash - we even publish Regular Bros using Google's Blogger.com.
But, if true, if this story is true, I might have to take my respect for the Internet giant down several notches.
FoxNews.com is reporting about a glaring variance that occurs when using the the world's largest search engine. Typically when you use Google and begin typing your search, it will begin recommend possible searches below based on what you are typing.
According to the report, if you type in "Christianity is," you get items such as "Christianity is not a religion" and "Christianity is a lie." If you type in "Buddhism is," you'll find suggestions like "Buddhism is not a religion" and "Buddhism is wrong."
However, if you type "Islam is," you get...nothing.
Is this a case of Google Censorship?

Happy New Year Bro's n Ladies!
Raph, I think this could well be an example of censorship in our politically correct society.
Or, it could be that Islam is being ignored by Google as a subtle way to show that most of us don't care one way or the other what "Islam is".
I think alot of Americans,Canadians, Brits, etc.think Islam is an excuse, to terrorize anyone they think they can. Thankfully, They're proving to be fairly inept at much of anything.

I did find it interesting when I googled Christianity is, that there are so many individuals that are experts on bullshit!
One would think that experts ( real or self-proclaimed), on religion would have better vocabularies and means of expressing themselves. I guess one would have to conclude that those individuals are just full of their favorite descriptive term!
