An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that the products are being removed.
"All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who do not will be subject to action including potential removal of their account," the spokesperson told CNN on Monday. "The products in question are being removed from our store."

I'm offended by cheap knock-offs being sold as originals ... Will Amazon reign in their scammers too?

I don’t buy from amazon. There are alternatives.
Why is it that when I am offended they have rights?

Offensive stuff towards Christians and Jews still okay.

Will they remove Bibles for sale? After all, Muslims are seriously offended by the Bible.
Will they remove pork-based products?
Hey -there are lots of products on Amazon that technically “offend” me - big deal. I don’t shop for them, search for them, etc. If it’s legal - that is Amazon’s business (and their 3rd party sellers).
Why do we cater to the demands of Islam?
Now - someone else posted a reply above that they are offended by the cheap knock-off fake products. Me too - and Amazon isn’t particularly good at dealing with those.

"the items are offensive to Muslims."
So, I'm guessing about half of Amazon's product line is going to disappear...

So I guess the small memorial statuette depicting the Twin Towers burning is no longer available?

Every part of human civilization is offensive to the sub-human savage muslims.

This is actually akin to a grocery store deciding not to sell playboy. I don’t really have a problem with this as long as they apply this across the board. Some products really do cater to the lowest common denominator.
I hate islam, to be sure, but muslims are just its front line victims who, once weaponized, become dangerous. If someone wants this stuff, they can get it. It just won’t be through amazon (or probably any large retailer).
To: Diana in Wisconsin
And the beat of the islamization of America goes on. The speed of it increasing exponately. 2018 the muslims doubled their numbers in Congress and they were actual muslims also, not muslim wannabes. 2020 the numbers will be doubled or tripled.

You got it. That’s why they don’t need to do any terrorist attacks. Why spend the energy when the people unilaterally surrender.
To: Retvet
Hey there! Folks really need to respect the religious trappings of others. That is a recipe for polite society. I agree with Amazon’s decision.

There are those who make a pretty convincing argument that islam is a political/terrorist organization camouflaged as a religion. I find it hard to argue with that given that 90% of the conflicts world wide have deep islamic roots. islam is always surrounded by bloody borders, indeed, even within those borders brutality and injustice prevail.

"...remove products that offend Muslims..."
The other challenge when dealing with crackpot Muslim nutjobs is they will gladly deploy a crazed foot soldier to kill someone to get what they want.
For example, they would only be happy to send someone to behead a random Amazon worker going to their car after a full day at work. Nevermind that the person they behead just sweeps the floors and cleans the lunch rooms there, it is all for Muhammad. "Aloha Snackbar!"
Meanwhile, our society would be told that it is the 20,000th episode of a "lone wolf" attacking yet another non-Muslim. Build the wall. Continue travel bans. Profile against obvious bad guys. We absolutely support you, President Trump.
