Censoring Anti-Islamic Rhetoric: Google, 2012, What’s Next?

I saw this claim written in different places and I didn’t believe it, so I tried it out myself. Well, it turns out they are right. When you type “Christianity is”, or Judaism or Buddhism, “Google Suggest” guesses what you are trying to say and completes the sentence (most of the results are negative). However, when you type “Islam is” there are absolutely NO suggestions!
Google told a wired.com reporter that it was simply a software glitch that they were working on. However, that was already 5 days ago and the “glitch” still exists. Aren’t there millions of geniuses working at Google?
This idea of censoring anti-Islamic rhetoric seems to be a theme these past few days. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York pulled some Muhammad works for fear of igniting a controversy.
Even the director of the film 2012 admitted to being too afraid to depict any Muslim symbols being destroyed in his newest blockbuster film, for fear of attack.
What is going on? It seems that the protesters won in the Muhammad cartoon riots in Denmark a few years back when they sparked fear in everyone one of us. Now it seems that even companies like Google would rather go out of their way to censor themselves, as to avoid what the radical Muslims have in store for us.
