Everyone knows exactly why Sure, but did you know that they were doing it at all? I didn't until today.

  I don't think it's removed for the reasons you think it is. It seems to be driven by what people search for. First option under "dead b" is "dead baby jokes". Try "death and r" and "death and return of superman" is above "death and resurrection of jesus". And one of the options under "death squads" is "death squads health care" If people don't use "Islam is ..." all that often it's not going to be part of their suggestion tree. PS: First option under "muslim is " is "muslim is wrong". Muslim is not actually a religion, but I think far more people in the US use it than islam.

    Hmm - you could be right, but as the article takes pains to note, all of the obvious analogous searches do return suggestions, which I think is evidence against your idea. Still, it's been pointed out that queries like "Muhammad is" still "work", which I think is evidence for your idea. :)

      Right, I think the author of the article is not really interested in uncovering the (presumably) interesting heuristics for inclusion/exclusion in the autosuggest list, and is rather just throwing his prejudices out in the open.

    In a related thought, try "Islam will"

    "I am extremely" provides further amusement as a search suggestion prefix.

      "why is my" is also quite entertaining, with many fun breakoff suggestions possible. "Why is my poop..." makes the list several times.
