As a rule I’m very opposed to censorship. Not in this case though. Amazon is in the wrong and needs to pull the book.

Amazon can go # itself.

No decent person should support a company that profits from the promotion of pedophilia.

Looks like the perverts at Amazon have had the hots for little boys before.....

It’s not censorship for a private company to refuse to sell a book. They should stop selling this crap — or let the FBI know exactly who has purchased it.

I wonder how books on torture and rape of Muslims would go over on Amazon?

[VanDeKoik]

““So what’s next?” they said. “A do-it-yourself book on how to rape and torture women?””

Something is seriously wrong with this nation and the world. This is just a symptom.

It won’t end well. After all, He will only put up with so much before imposing a reckoning. (And to the atheists: A society that accepts such filth will collapse - spectacularly and bloodily - all on its own.)

I’ve never boycotted any company before, but I am boycotting Amazon over this. And I was a big customer. Freedom of speech has nothing to do with this at all. Amazon has the freedom to NOT sell this book and I have the freedom to not do business with a company that makes a bad decision. So, Amazon, Buh Bye!

[Drew68]

Looks like they’ve already pulled the book. The title came up in a search but when I clicked on it, I received a “We’re sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site” message.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Amazon has issued this statement: “Amazon believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. Amazon does not support or promote hatred or criminal acts, however, we do support the right of every individual to make their own purchasing decisions.”

Amazon's commitment is easy enough to test. Would it be similarly willing to sell a book that advocated, or even just encouraged, the attack on or murder of Amazon's owners and executives? It's always, "Whose ox is being gored?"

[surfer]

As of right now...Amazon is off my list of vendors...
