Actually, this may be due to an attempt to Google Bomb the term “Islam is..”
If you do the same thing with “Koran is”, “Quaran is”, “Allah is” or “Mohammed is” you get similar results to what they describe for the other religions.
Google’s machines will block Google Bombing attempts so there may have been a move recently to Google Bomb the term “Islam is” that resulted in this.
Type Mohammad is

I just noticed the same thing.
I was surprised to read this. To test it, I went straight to my Google search bar and typed in “radical Islam” (without the quotes) and got about ten suggestions for searches.
I didn’t have the opportunity to test further, as I must leave the house soon. However, either Google fixed the “bug” or there was no bug in the first place.
not a surprise at all
So the reason that Google tolerates the google bombing of Christianity is...?
Google censors because the Chinese Communist government demands it. Take that to the bank.
No one may have Google Bombed “Christianity is “
That may not be it, but it is one of the reasons why search suggestions don’t come up. My point was that various other Islamic terms come up with the same results as Christianity, etc. People are too quick to assume cause and jump on the bandwagon.
They were caught with their pants down.. briefs with a bomb in their crotch I suspect .
They will “fix” the bug now
[[Google ‘censors its website so anti-Islam searches fail to appear’]]
But yet look up antiChristian terms, and google is chock full of them, and htey’ll defend that decision as ‘freedom of information’ yet their standars for anti-Islam sites apparently is different
I’ve switched to Bing, but I have to use Google when I want to look for guns and gun products. Bing’s gun search is pathetic and mostly brings up bb gun stuff.
Your question got pulled while I was responding (I assume for language), however, “muslim is” does produce the result you were asking about.
