We achieved a lot when we started the Google is Biased issue, couple of months ago. We had a simple proposal to Google to start making Doodle’s for Islamic Festivals, like it do for other days. It was widely discussed on many high profile blogs and even on Global Voices Online. Majority of people and even Non-Muslims liked the idea that there should be Doodle for Muslim Festivals as well. Specifically for Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha, the two major Muslim Festivals of the world.
It’s just a celebration like Christmas; the message is simple “peace and harmony for all”. Like we see beautiful doodles for Christmas, we just deserve to see Doodles for Muslim Festivals also. It is matter of fact that with huge demographic representation and a significant part of Google revenues are generated by Muslims with services like Gmail, Earth, Adsense, Ad words etc.
The issue reached to the top management of Google and we also got reply from them. The news is that Google has unofficially confirmed for Eid Doodles from next Eid-Ul-Fitr.
Following is the message to Google from Muslims around the world:
“Kindly make Google Doodles for Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha from year 2009 and onwards. And show it on main domain Google.com and on all of its sub domains around the web.”
This will really help to bond Muslims with other religions and will flourish relations between all the countries.
Eid-ul-Adha is just a few days ahead, and my friend Altaf Sayani was kind enough to make a Doodle on such a short notice. So all my Muslim Brothers and Sisters I present to you the Google Doodle for Eid-ul-Adha:
Here is the representation that how Doodle will look like on Google.com and on Google.com.pk:
This is so cool :) Well done guys!

اچھی کوشش ہے، ایک متبادل یہ بھہ ہو سکتا ہے کہ انگریزی لفظ o بکرے کے گلے کا پٹہ بنا دیا جائے۔
@Sajid Iqbal, او ہو کمنٹ الٹا ہو گیا۔
thumbs up
Nice effort! I always knew Altaf is a good designer :)
@Farhan Janjua, Thanks Farhan for acclaiming my work :)
How to Call my friends and relative free on this eid :P it is common question; and not going in to crappy details and falisious claims like mobile service providers do.. go and get Wateen calling card and dial anywhere for free in UK, US and Canada and off course Pakistan from your land line number…… you can surf on net for free with unlimited downloads; If you are lucky wateen user… and you will be having free 50% mins beside free calls for your calling card; you can say it eid treat.
Keep up da good work(Y)

Buck up !
Its not as simple as you think. Most of the religious people are not as open minded as you. Some people take offense and have threatned to file law suits because it hurt their sentiments. Because of this google decided “Fuck this” and does not make religious doodles anymore
If you have art showing an animal for Eid, you come up against the Moslem prohibitiion of any art showing living creatures. Anyway you’d have to animate it and show some idiot moslem gleefully & evilly beheading the lamb or whatever, because that’s how Moslems are.
