[governance] Halal Search Engine

[Shahzad Ahmad]

Dear Colleagues,

 

Do you know something about this "HALAL" Search Engine...  www.iamhalal.com



It seems that now cyberspace is heading towards religious divisions also... This search engine only wants to focus Muslim Internet Users. Couldn't figure out that who is behind it?



They claim to be blocking ALL "unethical" websites... I reckon a new interesting form of blocking..isn't it? I also feel that this search engine wants to develop their business "using" religion :)

 

It is very funny... they have somehow arranged 3 levels of searches being Haram... Don't know the logic behind it though as how they decided these levels. Level 3 is the serach at top most level... which they think is really really haram.

 

For example, put "Sex" in the search area, it is haram at level 3 (BTW how "sex" can be haram ;)). If you search "Penis", it is at Level 2 of being haram and "Breasts" are also at level 2 ;))) See for yourself, am not attaching the screen shots :)

 

Would really love to hear your thoughts on this... particularly, if someone know that how will it work...and who is behind it?

 

best wishes

Shahzad
