Google distorting 'historical facts'


Iran has slammed popular web search engine Google, charging it with distorting "historical facts" by referring to the 'Persian Gulf' as 'Arabic Gulf'.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mr Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said "Raising such issues about a historically-documented and undeniable term is illegal".

The official characterized Google's move as a "political ambition" while commending Iranians living in the country and overseas for sending protest e-mails to the Web portal, Iranian media reports said.

We think this is a "insulting the intelligence of the international community" & "knowingly or unknowingly" following the lead of external powers aiming to provoke conflict in the region.
