>>Not that Google would ever manipulate their data. Here, you can prove it yourself. Goto to Google.com and key in the search field, “Christianity is” and see all the auto suggestions like “Christinaity is bullshit” that come up. Then try it with any other religion, except Islam. When you are done with the world’s religions, try “Islam is.” Huh? There is nothing there.<<

I don't know that this is conclusive of anything. Just for fun, I typed "islam bull" in the google search window, and I got "Islam bullshit" and "Islamic bullshit" among the results.

Those search suggestions are compiled from searches people actually perform. So maybe few people search for "Islam is". I think it's a stupid thing to enter in a search window, anyway. If you want to know what Islam is, you can just type in "Islam." And watch what happens if you type in "Muslim terror".

FYI, I don't get "Hinduism is bullshit" if I type in "hinduism is". In fact, I get slightly different results with each religion I try, which is consistent with results that are populated based on what people search for.
