Now google is sharia-compliant.
How about Google offer non-Muslims a search engine blocking dawah, dua, Islamic propaganda, Islamophiliac news coverage, etc.? We could call it Blasphemousgoogle.

Blocking content deemed “haram,” or forbidden in Islam, Halalgoogling has its own custom filters. (Al Arabiya)
Putting the “beep” in all that’s un-Islamic, a new online search engine is providing a Muslim alternative to surfing the web.
Blocking web content deemed “haram,” or forbidden in Islam, the Halalgoogling site has its own custom filters.
Dubbed
the “Haram Filtering System,” it claims to block content based on
general category filtering and forbidden sites on a “black list.”It also sifts through links and a list of “haram keywords,” which cannot be used to search on the website.
When Al Arabiya English
had a go at testing Halalgoogling’s “haram filter,” launched earlier
this month, search terms such as “playboy” yielded no results.Meanwhile,
terms such as “pornography” yielded a list of dictionary definitions.
The phrase “Resurrection of Jesus” also gave a list of dictionary
definitions and Islamic religious websites.According to the site, the “Haram Filtering System” features four components.
General category filtering – Overall search results filtering of different categories
Forbidden sites – Black List of websites that are not allowed to appear on the search results
Link filtering – Removal of only certain pages/links from a website, blog or forum
Haram Keywords – List of keywords that are not allowed to be searched or to search the entire web (only certain trusted sites).
However, Halalgoogling admits that some haram content still escapes the filter.
“Despite
of our best efforts to make our service as secure as possible from
haram content, there is still much work to be done, we still have
several milestones to overcome, but with God willing (Insha’Allah) and
your help we will make Halalgoogling suitable for every Muslim brother
and sister and achieve our common goal,” a statement on their blog says.According to Pakistan’s Express Tribune,
the “haram filter” has been developed by a worldwide team of “internet
experts” to determine haram content and protect those Muslims who want
to search without being exposed to it.Halalgoogling is not the
only “halal” search engine on the web, with online offerings such as
Alwahy.com and Halallsearch.com, but it hopes to outdo its competitors.In
addition to its “haram” filtering system, it has special search
options, as well as providing a forum for Islamic discussion and
providing educational Islamic features.
Commenters on Halalgoogling’s blog gave a positive response to site, praising the innovation.However, Twitter responses was less enthusiastic, with many users mocking it or seeing it as an example of censorship.
Not only Muslims can benefit from a specially tailored search engine.
Similar
websites exist for other faiths, such as Jewogle , a Google parody
which “celebrates the Jewish contribution to civilization”, or
SeekFind.org, a Christian site which filters content to protect users
from pages “attacking/denigrating” the Christian faith.

Good grief!

I stopped using Google long ago — they are a tool for the enemy. That said, youtube is Google. So … I kind of still use google, just not as a search engine.
Your Gmail belongs to Google forever, to do with as they see fit even after policies change.
Facebook rides the same bus. And they both let 0bama honk the horn, when they are not honking it for him.
Why do the moslems choose to use something the infidels invented anyway? The whole internet is haram, you idiots!

This is not a Google-run or owned site. Anyone who wants can make a site that uses the Google search engine and filters specific results.
Bring on the InfidelGoogling =)

Other than terror, beheading,and goat-sex, the moslems haven’t came up with anything unique that might require blocking, have they? Anything else they do is always good for a laugh, so why block that? We need to know what the bastids are up to.

Those kids at Google are always up to some kind of PC nonsense. Punks…

I can’t see many mussies using it, as they have the highest amount of perverted porn sex searches on the planet. Unless of course, animal sex is viewed as ‘halal’ along with rape and paedophilia!

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is an example of haram and halal searches
Haram Search: Bible is historically accurate
Halal Search: where to buy a sex slave
Only ignorant Muslims and their patsies will censor searches for vaginas and penises because those two things sum up what Muhammad’s Islam is all about. If they are true to the Qur’an and Muhammad, there will be no censorship of the vilest terms but instead censorship of anything a Muslim doesn’t want to hear or have known about Islam.
No true Muslim would use a censored search engine because they would not be able to look up search terms such as those Pakistan has ranked top for: child sex, donkey sex, and other such truly halal (meaning vile) terms.

My guess is they won’t be able also to search for terms like “top 10 micro breweries” or “pulled pork recipe” or “Angel Soft toilet paper”.

The word, “Peace” would, of course, be blocked by default.

This has nothing to do with Google. This is a third party site that uses google search and then filters the results.
