Google suggests Islam is nothing

The metaphysics of search

Google's search Suggest function treats Islam a bit differently from the other major religions of the world. It's willing to suggest "Christianity is excrement" or "Judaism is false," but if you begin to ask what Islam is, it won't suggest a thing.

Google says that this search oddity is a bug - and that its search gurus are working to fix it. But several days have passed since it was publicly uncovered.

As originally noticed by The Next Web blog, Suggest isn't shy about suggesting search queries that put several major religions in a less-the-favorable light. If you type, "Christianity is" into Google's search box, for instance, the web giant suggests queries such as "Christianity is excrement," "Christianity is not a religion," "Christianity is a lie," and "Christianity is fake":

Google is doing pro-islam censorship. This is not the only case.

But "bing" is much worse. They filter even JTF from the results on it's German page.

Imo there has to be more competition on the search engine market.

It keeps coming up! The news article and youtube clip are new! Google keeps saying "It's just a bug" BULLSH**!!!!

If it is just a bug, and this was caught more than a week ago, why is the "bug" still there? They want this to be forgotten and go away, don't let it. It's a bug? Okay, lets "bug" Google about it!

It is interesting they still haven't fixed this "Bug". I think you're right about them waiting for the criticism to die down about it so they can leave it unfixed.

In software engineering we have an equation:

Bug = Undocumented Feature

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undocumented_feature
Quote
In other cases, software bugs are referred to jokingly as undocumented features. ("It's not a bug; it's an undocumented feature!") This usage may have been popularised in some of Microsoft's responses to bug reports for its first "Word for Windows" product. (James Gleick, What Just Happened, ch.1), but doesn't originate there. The first reference on Usenet that survives dates to 5 March, 1984[1].
