Google and the Chinese government have taken a lot of heat here in the US for filtering search results for Chinese citizens. But according to a recent article I read, filtering search results and even blocking access to entire categories of sites is nothing new and it's very prevelant in the Middle East. What is your perception of religious censorship of the Internet in the Middle East? And do bloggers risk having their blogs shut down or censored if they write something that is perceived as anti-Islam or pro some other faith?
