Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video: Robert Spencer on Google changing its search results to spike criticism of Islam

Aug 24, 2017 8:39 am By Robert Spencer

In this new video, I discuss how Google has changed its first page results for searches of terms such as “jihad,” “sharia” and “taqiyya” to display only positive explanations of Islamic concepts.

    Searches for “jihad” and “sharia” on google do indeed turn up a whole laundry full of well-scrubbed sources. However, I found one quick way to get around that is to pair “jihad” “sharia” and other subjects with “kuffar”, “kufr”, “unbelievers”, etc. The results are quite a bit more enlightening, including links to very frank and outspoken imams laying down the law to true believers.

    Of course this is no help in the case of the curious individual who merely wants to confirm if “those things so-and-so said about Islam” are true. Instead of gaining enlightenment he will be handed the whitewash and shown the fence.

    We are moving backward in time, and 1984 is coming up fast on our left…

      In the 1950s and 1960s bribed American elites refused to admit the connexion between cigarettes and cancer.

      Today, American elites refuse to admit the connection between Islamic CORE TEACHINGS and JIHAD TERRORISM.

      Today’s American elites are being bribed with Gulf oil money to whitewash the connexion between Islam and ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

      Yes your quite right on the bit where we’re moving backwards. Haven’t done the searches but have heard it told.

    Okay, I, for one, accept that Google, for whatever number of reasons, is a purveyor of “hidden agenda” strategies for their particular and specific corporate interests; where such a hidden agenda may be dangerous to a freedom-loving society.

    My question is: can anyone recommend some other effective online search engine which is not so nefarious? TIA.

      DuckDuckGo maybe?

      I also would like an alternative to google.They have become so left wing it is discussing.

    • Larry Olds says

      Aug 24, 2017 at 11:11 am

      Try DuckDuckGo, it does not log your searches and, therefore, you don’t have your info sent out to third party vendors. Very good search engine.

      Google is a platform for market research and MARKETING of goods.

      I have not recently done BING searches or neutrality about Islam, but that engine is HUGE, and you might find it better than Google. Also, type “search engines” into Bing and maybe even more will appear.

    After the outrage that followed PayPal’s collusion with politically motivated self-interest groups caused them to rethink their actions, we really do need to take Google on.

    Their whole business model regarding search, was based on accurate and reliable results, what they are doing now negates that mission statement, entirely.

    That they may have taken a step further than PayPal and be colluding with terrorist sympathisers, or worse, must trouble both them, and us.

    Does anyone have the appropriate contact details for the Google person, or department, that we can register our concerns with?

    What really worries me, is that I was able to easily find both sides of the argument about jihadist threats and islam, just a few years ago, but today that research might not yield the truth at all, with only one side represented.

    I hope that I would’ve preserved, but how many will be misled?

    The truth is all we have.

      —
      That and in addition censorship alters users behaviour. The make B2B money with google stats. How much are these data “asset” worth if they no longer profile conservative users. Try googling “people history” vs the more specific “people history europe” – how does the image result make any sense ?

    In the long line of questions ( Where are the feminists? Where are the human rights activists? Where are the journalists? Where are the Christians concerned for the whole Body?)
    . . . Where are those who object to censorship?

    • Kepha says

      Aug 24, 2017 at 11:41 am

      Those of us who are Christian and concerned for what is happening to our coreligionists worldwide often come here. We thus protest against censorship by Google, FB, and others.

    This isn’t just about jihad. Google is trying to alter the very history of the first world. For example, search google images for “people of Europe history” and you’ll see the top results are all pictures of black people. I’m not racist, but this is very clearly an attempt by google to falsely portray that “black people have always been a part of Europe”, even though colonization started mere centuries ago, completely ignoring thousands of years before that.

    This is just one example, I’ve seen people talking similar things google does. Is this what they call creeping doom? Replacing of people? I was never one for conspiracy theories, but that shit is starting to look more real every day…

      Hi LB,

      I just posted a comment documenting my searches that verified yours, not only on Google but also Duck Duck Go and Bing. I made other searches also, showing that slaves do not appear when you search terms like History of Islam or History of Arabs. If you search history of the United States, you get all kinds of images of Howard Zinn’s book.

      My comment disappeared when I tried to post it, and I don’t have time to reproduce it all.
      I’ve had numerous instances of attempting to post comments on this site, but they don’t appear. Anyone else having this problem?

      ……………..

      I just tried Googling this now–under “images”–and you are right, This is absolutely nuts.

      You are correct–this is not about race, but just about accurate history.

    COUNTERJIHAD TODAY IS LIKE ANTI-SMOKING MOVEMENT IN THE 1970s

    “It was not until 1978, after lawyer Joseph Califano became Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare under the incoming Carter Administration, that a strong antismoking campaign became a priority for the federal government. In January 1978 Califano outlined his battle plan in a public speech in which he called cigarette smoking “Public Health Enemy Number One” and “slow motion suicide.” However, Califano was FIRED by President Carter the following year, allegedly because of his OUTSPOKEN STAND AGAINST TOBACCO.”

    Ask Google for these (titles of articles at Liberty GB):

    Islam Commands Our Murder
    Child Sex Gangs

    For the first one there were NO RESULTS AT ALL in 16 pages.
    The second one makes an appearance on page 16 of the search.

    What a coincidence.

    Google will remain a battleground in the struggle for free speech for years to come. If plain speech and debate are severely shackled and manipulated on this platform then Google will become a shell of it’s former self – a modern day venue for Bread and Circuses.

    We need to have a permanent list of Search Engines that we can trust.
    I’ve named this one before, but here it is again – mojeek.com mojeek.co.uk
    We also need to share ideas on alternative ways to pay money so that we cut out Paypal.
    Buying from Ebay is a problem because Paypal is Ebay.

    I always type in Jihad Watch or Pamela Geller, my way of sticking it to Google and to let them know how many of us feel. We’re mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it any more.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 25, 2017 at 8:59 pm

      Solange, this is not so much about regular posters like ourselves being able to find Jihad Watch, but people who are becoming alarmed about Jihad being able to find the site and learn more.

      The entire purpose of Jihad Watch is to educate people about the Jihad threat, and these manipulations by Google are deliberately threatening that.
