'Google is'...chicken?

E-mail Print PDF

islam isEverybody's abuzz about the "Islam is" fracas at Google - good!  It's about time people woke up to the deliberate censorship based on cowardice that many of the world's organizations and institutes are engaging in.

In this latest censorial flap in which some see Google as blatantly suppressing its results or suggestions, when the keyphrase "Islam is" is typed into its search engine box nothing shows up, unlike "Christianity is," which returns suggestions including "bullshit" and "false."  Judaism, Buddhism, atheism - these all are followed by abusive remarks when the word "is" is included after them, but not Islam! 

Now, it isn't just this part alone that makes you smell a rat - that would be evidence enough of a deliberate "intimidation jihad." No, if you start typing things you KNOW should show up in the top suggestions on Google, such as:

"Islam is evil"
"Islam sucks"

The phrase does not return any suggestions, even though you are sure that you have typed it many times before.

Working against this conspiracy theory, however, is the fact that "Muhammad is" brings up some salty language indeed, including "a false prophet," "the antichrist" and "satan." As does "Koran is," which produces "evil" among the results. Also, "Islam evil" brings up the following (text continues below):

islam evil

While it may be that Google is deliberately censoring itself - based on real or perceived threats, a fact in itself that says much about Islam and public perception of it - it may be that there is in fact a glitch with the "is" of both words in the keyphrase in question. Especially when one considers that "Acharya is" also brings up a big fat goose egg!

    That's funny! Good catch.

    I guess my last paragraph is the probability?

  • KCinLA  - More Islam
    I don't know, but it seems that more and more people are becoming aware of this Islam idiosyncrasies. This is something I retweeted and was going to send to you:

    Economist on "Islam in America", contributed some thoughts from religious conserv perspective http://bit.ly/86m247

    I found the comments most interesting.
  • KCinLA  - Muslims are
    Muslims are also mutes Googles suggestions.
  • Dr. O. P. Sudrania  - Islam and Google
    After reading this post, I just visited the Google search engine and typed: "Islam is". It seems that Google has some technical problem.
    Please visit the following URL:

    This is self explanatory.

    Yes, thank you.

    I was aware of Google's response, which is why I concluded the article thus, with a reference to this "glitch":

    Someone above has pointed out that "Acharya is" yields the same non-results.
  • mark  - no doubt in my mind
    try terms that relate to sex, i.e., fellatio, cunnilingus, anal sex etc. same result. 'big brother' has gone beyond watching, he's moved into control mode!!
  • Mark  - Google is...Big Brother!
    For about 10 years now or how ever long Google has been popular, I have been telling Truth Seekers: "Do not trust nor use Google! I have been warning my computer customers all this time too. Google has been invading our privacies illegally right from their beginnings.
    Many Truth Seekers and Truthers have had Google censoring them for years.
    Finally people are learning. Use ixquick.com or scroogle.org instead.

    Also Google bought "doubleclick", one of the more annoying bits of adware/spyware out there. I use Firefox and the NoScript and AdBlock plugins. I block everything related to or owned by Google.

    I do not Google; I am a Truth Seeker.
  • MarkthePoet
    are you insane? invading your privacy? all global electronic communication, internet and phone, is monitored for our safety, mostly by very big and powerful computers, so in reality nothing we do online is secret. but i guess being a troofer puts you in the category of 'enemy of the state' 'cos you got the inside dirt on the 911 job. maybe the zionist freemason illuminati secret squirrel is onto you! better watch out, he might find your nuts:-)

    dudes, please ...
  • Dr. O. P. Sudrania  - Google glitch
    Acharya S,

    My recent experience with google does remind me of your warning and I would tend to agree with you on your observation. There is something wrong with the Google. May be that is why I can not get into to read your replies, you may recall my complains to you earlier. That problem still persists and I get the same reply of the error I told you, even now. I can not understand the reason for, though. Strange.

    Dr. O. P. Sudrania

Christ in Egypt

What people are saying about Acharya S/D.M. Murdock

"Your scholarship is relentless! ...the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration." —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In Archaeology

"I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock... I find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations..." —Dr. Robert M. Price, The Pre-Nicene New Testament

"I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!" —Dr. Robert Eisenman, James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code, RobertEisenman.com

"Well-referenced, with numerous quotations from renowned Egyptologists and classical scholars, Acharya's penetrating research clearly lays out the very ancient pre-Christian basis of modern Christianity. Those who espouse Christianity beware! After digesting the evidence, you will never again view your religion in the same light." —Dr. Robert M. Schoch, Professor of Natural Science College of General Studies at Boston University; Author, Pyramid Quest, Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Voices of the Rocks

"Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the volume of her evidence." —Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets and Man Made God

"I've known people with triple Ph.D's who haven't come close to the scholarship in Who Was Jesus?" —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com

"Thirty years ago, when in divinity school, I might have had second thoughts about becoming an Episcopal priest if a book like D. M. Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The Jefferson Center

"In addition to presenting in Suns of God the troubling history of religious wars in an easily followed narrative, Acharya goes a step further, explaining as only she can how a once-simplistic idea has been carried into our modern world with terrible and nearly unimaginable results." —Rev. Dr. W. Sumner Davis, Fellow, Royal Astronomical Society; Member, American Geophysical Union; Affiliate, New York Academy of Science

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe

"Thank you, Acharya, for the important work you are doing. Who Was Jesus? Fingerprints of the Christ just might be the best short introduction to Biblical scholarship yet." —David Bergland, 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate, Libertarianism In One Lesson

"...I have found her scholarship, research, knowledge of the original languages, and creative linkages to be breathtaking and highly stimulating." —Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX

"Acharya S has done a superb job in bringing together the rich panoply of ancient world mythology and culture, and presenting it in a comprehensive and compelling fashion." —Earl Doherty, The Jesus Puzzle

"Acharya S is a shining light of truth in a sea of deceit." —Rob McConnell, X Zone Radio/TV, Ontario, Canada

"The Christ Conspiracy—very, very scholarly and wholly researched—is a book for today..." Rev. B. Strauss, ex-Catholic Priest, Chicago, IL

"Amidst the global chaos of George Bush's War on Terror, largely founded on religious intolerance and simplistic notions of good and evil, Acharya S is the voice of reason." —Joan D'Arc, Paranoia

"D.M. Murdock could well be the most brilliant, insightful and rigorous theologian writing today." —Robert Tulip

"Acharya S is the ranking religious philosopher of our era." —John K.

"Acharya S/Murdock deserves an award for her hard work and courage. She is the Galileo of our day!" —Charles Johnson

"Acharya S knows more about the ancient Mysteries than any living scholar." —Christopher Knowles

"Acharya S is an amazing researcher with a tremendous amount of energy and appetite for constant discovery of newer horizons. " —Dr. O.P. Sudrania
