Islam is…

Google has been accused of spinelessly censoring its search results to appease the religion of peace, as typing “Islam is” will yield no results, as compared to a wide variety of frequently disparaging results for other, more warlike religions.
Such autosuggestions are thought to be automatically generated, but subject to the utopian “Google filter” which ensures troublesome words Google would rather not acknowledge the existence of, such as “penis” or “rape,” are excluded, in what is probably the same mindset which ensures that Google News carries no “crime” section.
Such results as are allowed are often taken as zeitgeist-like indications of the dubious things users search for.
Google for its part claims this is a bug, though evidently one they are none too concerned about fixing as it has been known about for some time now.

Trolling religion through Google... All I'm gonna say is some kids are obviously bored out of their skulls.
Same thing if you type "satanism is". Which proves what? Google is run by the devil?
who apparently also runs Islam?
An increasing problem here in the West is that everything is censorable except fucking retarded politics. When they accuse China of censorship, it has to do with politics, perhaps because lazy journalists and politicians want to protect their way of life, but to the layman it matters nothing.
I tried searching for 伊斯兰教是 (islam is...) on google.cn and it returned suggestions such as "an evil religion?". That is, in China they may censor stuff about politics, Taiwan and what not, however this isn't censored. I read in an article in the german magazine Der Spiegel some time ago that while political censorship is high in China, social censorship on the Internet is in the West as high as China's. This is an example.
Whats the point about freedom (mostly political freedom) anyway if, as it happens in many places in the West today kids aren't even allowed to eat sweets or other stuff they want at school as if it was a banana republic?
Duh, COME ON GUYS
For ppl who thinks this article is bad and/or sankaku shouldn't put religion stuff, read it carefully!
The article is about internet censorship, NOT religion.
Perhaps the comments are the ones that talk about religion, but hey, take it easy. Not all muslim is bad. Not all Christian is bad. No one is perfect, right?
The best thing to do is, evaluate ourselves and be a better person for God's sake.
You're preaching to the brick wall that is the Internet. Common sense is alien here.
fuck islam...
fuck u too gayass
This is fucking retarded. Anyone who believes that Google is deliberately censoring this probably has a lukewarm IQ.
Type in "Muhammed is" (or any spelling variant thereof) and numerous results will pop up, including several phrases that say "Muhammed is Satan" and "Muhammed is a false prophet." Furthermore, if you type in "Islam must" you'll see results such as "Islam must die."
This is a bug. Take off your goddamn tinfoil hats. Do you guys understand how difficult it is to maintain a search engine, let alone one as big and powerful as Google's?
fuck off this article
Ah butthurt camelfucker samefag is back again.
Religion stuff aside, Damn Edward Cullen.
He's always the one appearing when in reality, I'm searching for Edward Elric.
Twilight fag is fag!
Best points about Islam are:
4th
5th
10th
Screw those towelheads.

You're lucky for being anonymous,i say.
Read Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur%27an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qur'an]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam
The religion is clearly not the problem: try googling Christian and Jewish extremism or terrorist acts. To be a Muslim a person must only follow the five pillars of Islam, none of which have anything to do with any sort of violence at all. Also it is important to consider the double standard on terrorism. If your country is occupied and you attack the occupying force, but are not a part of the occupied countries standing army it is not considered terrorist...wait a second... that would make the resistance fighters against the axis powers in WWII all terrorists... In regard to suicide bombers, Islam does not allow suicide, it follows the same line as Christianity on that point. Also note, Muhammad's wife was free, educated, owned land, and ran her own business in which Muhammad was actually employed. Islam supports women doing all of these things. The extremists shouldn't even be referred to as Muslim, they are not people that have taken the Islamic religion to an extreme the are in fact in direct conflict with their proclaimed religion. The difference is that whenever someone that calls themselves Muslim does something it is considered an important part of the story, whereas it usually isn't even mentioned for any other religion.
Also an aside: say there are two peoples living in U.S., God gave the land to someone that is a common ancestor of both peoples. The first group consists of 12 tribes, some of which spring from illegitimate children but they all get to be part of the twelve tribes. The second group is descended from an illegitimate child of the groups' common ancestor. Now most of the first group migrates elsewhere and allows people to convert into their people (Russians mostly) even though your mother is supposed to be a part of this group for you to be a part of it (also contradict them having 12 tribes). The people still in the U.S. now all get along, but then the first group of people all want to come in and take over the U.S. all for the themselves several hundred years after moving away, persecute and steal the land from the second group of people, claiming that the second people has no right to it because they are descended from the illegitimate child. Now change that from the U.S. to Israel/Palestine and put yourself in the shoes of the second people, wtf!?! Zionists.... (I'm not anti Jewish though Chomsky is pretty awesome, then again there are Jews that call Chomsky anti-Semitic, and he is Jewish. Also note that the term is misused by most Jews since Arabs are also Semitic. Another thing, a surprising number of people don't know this, Arab refers to people that speak Arabic as their countries language, while Muslim is used for people of the Islamic faith.
To put my view in perspective, my father is Muslim and somewhat religious, my mother is Christian, but is really pretty much disregards religion completely. I am agnostic, though I am a part of a Christian fellowship and attend bible studies weekly, but if I took a religion it would be Islam, I've read both books and the Qur'an makes way more sense in my opinion.
Artefact: I don't think bringing up religion is a bad thing, but try to encourage a little education, intelligence, and discretion while you're at it.
I should probably make an account soon, if I do it will be ttbek if it is untaken, I prefer not to post anonymously.
lmao, discussing religion on such a website. This is very amusing. If you're defending your religion, get the fuck off this website and follow it. If you're bashing on religion, you should have better things to do tbh. I'm not going to be converted to your religion by your preaching it on sankaku... nor will I change my opinion of something because someone commented on it.
Back on the main topic: Google probably did that because of how much negativity Islam got after 9/11.
To all of you associating Islam with Rag heads, just a little bit of info, most Muslims are NOT Arabs, the majority actually spurs from Asia I think.
I doubt what I'm saying will make any of you stop the random nonsense that just pops out, so whatever...
Only solution for peace? Continue the Crusade! Christianity will nuke Islams.... I always say that Islam is a murderer's religion....
fuck all you know christian is a religion that came from islam, some dumb people mislead islam and christian is reborn, thats make christian a fake religion!
I don't know how I even got here, but geez, why do you like to bash other people's beliefs. Look at the religions, they are NOT bad, it's the people who abuse the principles, or better yet, ignore the true principles in those religions who do the bad things.
Talking about 'blowing' up people is extremely childish. This is just like the thinking we had when we threw an atomic bomb at hiroshima. Whatever the intention was it was un-called for. People spouted things like 'bomb the children' and retarded crap. Now think for a moment. Let's say all the rest of the world, China, Japan, Europe, etc, all decided, 'hey American's are all selfish violent bast****s therefore let's blow them up and...' (you get the picture). If all you guys think that things get solved with violence and hatred, nothing will change, it will if at most only get worse.
Killing 'Islam' will never happen, as will not any other religion. If you dislike the actions the PEOPLE who do wrong things in the name of religion (which I say is totally hypocritical because neither Islam, Christianity, nor Judaism supports such acts of violence), they need Justice, but without this violent hatred we all seem to be spouting here.
Come on, be intelligent you guys... debate, yes, but please refrain from unneccessary and un-called for comments without thinking.
One thing that we need: People who actually follow what they believe.
Tell that to the people who are vapidly threatening death and destruction just for reporting this?
you're afraid now?
What kind of religion is one that uses violence against women and children just to preach and spread their influence? I mean seriously! Just what monster these demons worship?
I hated the Iquisitors and those Catholic Spanish colonial hoo-haas who rapes their subjects, and I definitely hate Islam extremist now!
agnostic ISlam?
protip: try typing 'does' instead of 'is' after these religions.
christianity does: not make sense, not work, god exist.
islam does: not promote terrorism, not encourage terrorism, not oppress women
case in point.
Damn somehow, it become a thread to fucked up a religion here. Gee i will tell you something. There's no religion in the world that teach you bad thing i believe. Find the truth before commenting something. Is because the one like you who didn't know anyhting yet want to comment that make a religion so bad.. Just fuck your mother damned atheist!
Chill, even atheist know how to do good things in life ~
Almost every atheist wasn't raised as an atheist before choosing to be one, so your point needs evidence.
Islam FTW!
Really all religion is good for is starting fights... better off with out it
islam will dominate the world !
that's true. .
hahaha
Curiously Bing reports the following
islam is the light
islam is evil
islam is the light baby doll
islam is a lie
islam is of the devil
It does not report anything for many of the other religions. the light baby doll link seems a little curious though actually links to stuff about baby doll and the islam is the light quote.
God what is this site turning into? I mean for fucks sake lets not get into the "religious propaganda" business...although it does seem its too late. I have no religion but you have no right to judge other people based on their beliefs or to stereotype people in the way this article wants you to -_-. The authors of this site really need to gtfo islams case
This article is about internet censorship.
"other, more warlike religions"
HA HA HA HA HA
the world today is controlled by the jews..
the're good at cover stories to cover their bad deeds.. just look at how the use the holocaust to make people sympathize with them while they shooting and bombing peoples at Gaza..
well the gaza ppl are armed group anyway.
Meanwhile the islam suicide bombers only target the civilians.
>the world today is controlled by the jews..
Why are you on SanCom? Don't you know that everyone here except you are Jews/Mossad agents?
maybe Artefact himself is a Jew in disguise,this whole website is probably a propoganda tool,anything not in favour of the majority of users' belief will instantly be scorned at.Why does this site have a huge following?
Why are there so much hate whenever there is something about Islam? It's a clear line when they say, extremist and terrorist did it. You can talk all day but do u really understand and know what is Islam all about or the prophet? Or issit the media, internet or 9/11 thats brainwashed you into thinking that Islam is a bad religion. God gave us the intelligent so that we can think for ourselves and learn from each other.
Those extremist and terrorist are sourced from islam so if there no islam the world will be peacefull.
islam is a religion that will resort to violence if something they demand rejected.
There is no one absolute religion in this world, the religion that thinks so is the false one.
if you've read the above comments then you can understand why religion is censored from google.
all it does is make people whine about how they hate it and it shouldn't be around.
this kinda makes me feel sorry for students studying a religion for a school project
Oh yeah, I wonder...Is there any moslems here?
Here..
Do us all a favor and die.
try googling HOW TO ... and you will be suprised :D
punch that shit into bing and you not only get real answers but some hilarious ones. "Islam is the light baby oil"
Just Holy Bomb(Nuclear Bomb) them to Extinction because they like Holy War alot.
well i tried all words in islam, but the result with is... is non, but with will there are 10 of it, about Otaku is wow splended result, about christinian, christ, budhistm, well hahaha dirty money comes with dirty mind, were are in this website, soo wht is good about us? no wonder there are no result for islam is.... (Hahaha Lol)
The Religion Of Islam Is A peaceful Religion , That Allah Sent To Us Thousands Years Ago , It Was First Sent Up By Chosen People Called Prophets, That Allah Sent To Get People To Unite Their Faith,Believe And Trust In One God Or Maker , Because There Is No differences Between White And Black , Blondy Or Black Haired , Rich Or Poor Because We Are All Made From A Mere Mod .... That's How Islam Taught Us And The Messenger Of Allah Mohammad Blessings of Allah be upon him. In Arabic It's صلى الله عليه وسلم
(I Know 3 Languages First Primary English Second It's Arabic Third It's French ^^) , I Think Most Of The people Thought That Islam Is a Religion Of Terrorism And Fear , And It's Absloutley Not .. When Some Of Mad People Try To Blow Themselves Thinking By That They Are Martyrs Or precisely "Shahid" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahid) , And It's an honorary title for Muslims who have died fulfilling a religious commandment,or waging war for Islam And Their Reward Is Eternal Living In Al-Janna (Paradise In English) ... They Think That Jihad Or Fighting For The Sake Of Allah Is By Killing innocent people Of Other Opposing Religions Hoping For An Eternal Praise From Allah ... Like The Affganian Ossama bin ladden And Other Terrorists ... Islam Prohibited Us From Like Drinking Alcohol Like Beer And Other Mind Going Products Which Causes intoxication , adultery , Gambling , Drugs Such As heroin, cocaine etc... Pork Or Swine, That Is Called "Haraam" Means Prohibited To Know More Visit This Please: (http://www.essortment.com/all/islamhalaalhar_rdep.htm ) ...
It Contains A lot More Than i Said About Prohibited "Haraam" And Lawful "Halal" , And In The End I Hope That By making And Writing This Article That Toke Me An At east An Hour To Make To Improve Your Way of Looking At Islam And Muslims Means You're Not Include All Muslims To Be Terrorists Or Uncivilized or Anything !!! , Also I Have One Last Word "Terrorism Has No Religion" Means That Whatever Your Religion Is It Doesn't Matters With Terrorism Or Terrorists ^^ ...
I AGREE WITH ANONYMOUS 06:48 19/01/2010..thts the right way..respecting each other..all religion is about teaching good things to their followers..thanx again..for whom who understands

So all the 1.57 billion Muslims (that means quarter of the world by the way) are terrorists? Srsly guys your minds are so fucked up, go watch some hentai and leave Islam alone since you don't fucking know anything about it.

It's the Illuminatis!!
They want to erase religion from the world!
Islam is bad for your health
After speed reading the comments, i believe this article is about internet censorship.
there's censorship for the reason: moral values and politics. I'm a Chinese(race) so,
H-anime is being censored due to it's immoral for underage kids, this Google thing is safe to be assumed that is being political reason.
Now, all we need is statement from programming expert to confirm this.
Agree?
yah like they knew everthing about the muslims and what do u know about islam?
let me tell u u DON'T KNEW NOTHING AND ME TWO I DONT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM WHY ALL OF U NEGATIVE PPL?
WHATEVER I SAID OTUKU+IGNORANCE+SINS+DESPIRED+NEGATIVE FEELING= NONHUMAN RACE (even the devil will join u)
Too bad that mankind is still shackled by religion. Maybe in the future, mankind will outgrow one of its many problems.
Goole tags searches so i dont see any bugs ,so all this is people serches , if islamic searched about islam is **** more than milion time google will auto tag it . remeber google is great and strong tool dont blame it .
Islam is....
Mass Murder (Indonesian hotel and club bombing, as well as the 2001 plane-crashing on one of our US landmarks)
Pedophile (An old, perverted, lecherous man known as Syekh Puji in Indonesia planned to marry a junior-high school girl)
And that was the known two points...
I'm an atheist, since no religions are true for peace despite it's claims (maybe Buddhism is the only peace religion, but that something i planned to be once i stepped on Far East.)
hey all, no religion is bad , the bad ones are the people who have evil heart ....
Islam is as aggressive as any other religion when misinterpreted. Still, religious fanaticism isn't nearly as dangerous as closed-mindedness of an average TV sheep, and i've seen many a comment of such simpletons here.
There is always more behind terrorists motives than simple "die infidel" cliche. And let's not forget that someone is making and selling them weapons, someone had deals with them in the past, and someone clearly wants their oil. Christianity enslaved and assimilated civilizations before Islam even existed.
I'm not on the side of any specific religion, but i do think people need to wake up and leave fairytales and crusades to dark ages. We'd be exploring the galaxy by now guys. ;)
Lack of "Islam is" autofill is rounded out by "muhammad is" and "allah is".
Islam is... Muslim
Why so serious?
Cause religion irks people deep down.
religion can erk my “deep down” any day
iSlam planes into buildings
google is a shit
google is a brainwasher..
So, I just typed "Islam is" into google.co.uk.
Looks like the censorship has been removed, at least from the British site :3
It is also censored... hahha....
By the way... Do you know...? that Islam is giving birth to mindless Jihads.... and Terrorists? Not to mention... COWARDS!!! Fucking Cowards.... They do not even dare to battle Face to Face... but trying to stab others from the back and run Amazingly Fast to HIDE?
Sept 9/11.... is an example of that.... :P
Islam is.... COWARDS....
Islam is.... Jihads.....
Islam is.... Assholes...
Islam is.... TERRORISTS.
Islam is a FUCKING JOKE!!!!
buddhism is the best religion!!!
HAHHAHAHHHA Islam got the lulz
What's with all this Islam stuff on here? I keep spotting updates involving it in some form or other.
I'm new, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, or if it's an in-joke. I'm not trying to start anything, I'm honestly just curious. It's categorised as 'News', but I don't seem to find news like this posted on any of the other news sites I occasionally (read:never) visit.
I first found Sankaku a little while ago (Googling for Tekken 6 PS3 vs 360 comparisons - it was top of the results!) and have been visiting regularly ever since, mostly for the extensive photo galleries and, really, the last thing I need when trying to fap cross-eyed over some stereoscopic oppai pic is to be reminded that I'm gonna burn in Hell for it.
Seriously, it's a real mood-killer :(
Or is it what the modern Otaku needs to get his groove on nowadays? If that's the case, maybe we should start a new religion, called Oppaislam? I'll run it, of course, seeing as I'm mostly there already.
This topic nothing to do with anime, games and japan. This only a stupid topic that bring anger. My respect for Sankaku Complex drops a lot for making topic like this.
No need for your respect SIR !
If you can't handle this kind of thread
Then don't come in, just GTFO.
[ Anyway, it's about INTERNET CENSORSHIP, and the comments here that contain RELIGIUOUS PPL ]
Something tells me we are better off without your respect.
ITT: atheists on a hentai website showing their true nature,hm..cherish your anonymity while you still can folks.
And then what? You going to threaten to chop off our heads? LOL
you are just a typical \b\tard,don't try to show smart here
Relax guys, it's just a Search Engine, it doesn't offend anyone (i'm a muslim myself. What am i doing in this site? Searching for fap materials and reading Artefact's articles, of course :3. Why dont i fight those "extrimist"? Are you crazy, it's not MY war, it's theirs... <_< )
Oh, and try search anime is...
anime is a for losers
anime is not art
anime is for nerds
anime is retarded
Does google try to offend Otakus? No, it's just their "suggestion" system.
You're either have poor reading comprehension skills or you just didn't read in the first place.
This article isn't about a search engine offending people. It's about a search engine going out of it's way to NOT offend some people when it doesn't care about offending others.
It's cowardly and hypocritical.
I got one Islam is a religion ran by people who are still stuck in the 60s the 1560s and need to get with the times.
Well Done Google
Religion is... so 20th century...
You should try google "Why arabs" it's hilarious.
Love is ...
Hard to get
Impossible to hold
Straight and narrow
Like a burning fuse
In a long cold dawn
By the side of the road
A hopeless case
A perfect thing
Love is ( love is )
What you want it to be
Love is ( love is )
Heaven to the lonely
Show me
What you want me to do
Cause love is
What I got for you
I close my eyes
Search the stars
Call for help
Wake up cold
You're in my system
Under my skin
Raw emotion
Please don't go
Love is ( love is )
What you want it to be
Love is ( love is )
Heaven to the lonely
Show me
What you want me to do
Cause love is
What I got for you
Can't live on promises
Won't sleep at night
Don't understand the things you say
Till I read them in your eyes
Got to run on instinct
Got to go by feel
Got to trust my senses
Know it is for real
Can't live on promises
Won't sleep at night
Don't understand the things you say
Till I read them in your eyes
Got to run on instinct
Got to go by feel
Got to trust my senses
Love is ( love is )
What you want it to be
Love is ( love is )
Heaven to the lonely
Show me
What you want me to do
Cause love is
What I got for you
Love is ( love is )
Love is ( love is )
Show me
So what you're saying is that poor and illiterate people are being taken advantage to commit acts of terrorism?
...and that Korean women have more rights than women who appeared in the Bible?
oh, one more guys :p
Christianity is 2000 years old and Islam in 1400 years old, so by your `logic` islam seems to be working out fine in relative terms, in 600 years, they too will be accepting gays to desperatly increase membership and the religious leaders will be taking a more `personal` approach to scaring young boys.
2000 years worth of dark ages = 20 years today. Well, at least if you follow Civ4 logic.
in 600 years.u r dead oredy.make it 20 yrs
I can spot a muslim easily by their terrorist tone.
It's always the ones you can't understand.
I tried a few other combinations of words.Apparently only the "Islam will" search term reveals the correct results so far.If you try "Muslims [insert stuff here]..." you wont find much.
So yes,it is a bug...that they forgot to censor "Islam will".
So... how in any way is this article related to Sankaku Complex?
It is published on Sankaku Complex, or didn't you realise?
Hehe, that's smart.
No, seriously. This doesn't in any way relate to anything that this site focuses on.
Also, I lol @ people voting down on my comment. Does that mean that those people want to have a site talking about religion only?
Edit: You weren't like this before, Artefact. At least try to accept criticism instead of replying with a smart-ass comment :|
I've never accepted idiots trying to pigeon hole this site into whatever narrow bounds they feel comfortable with. The site has always run these kinds of stories and isn't about to stop, or are you new here?
