A colouring book about the events of 9/11, complete with pictures of the burning twin towers and the execution of a cowering Osama bin Laden for children to fill in, has provoked outrage among American Muslims.
We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids' Book of Freedom has just been released by the Missouri-based publisher Really Big Coloring Books, which says it is "designed to be a tool that parents can use to help teach children about the facts surrounding 9/11". Showing scenes from 9/11 for children to colour in and telling the story of the attacks and the subsequent hunt for Osama bin Laden, "the book was created with honesty, integrity, reverence, respect and does not shy away from the truth", according to its publisher, which says that it has sold out of its first print run of 10,000 copies.
One page of the $6.99 book, which has been given a PG rating, shows Bin Laden hiding behind a hijab-wearing woman as he is shot by a Navy SEAL. "Being the elusive character that he was, and after hiding out with his terrorist buddies in Pakistan and Afghanistan, American soldiers finally locate the terrorist leader Osama bin Laden," runs the text accompanying the picture. "Children, the truth is, these terrorist acts were done by freedom-hating radical Islamic Muslim extremists. These crazy people hate the American way of life because we are FREE and our society is FREE."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has condemned the book as "disgusting", saying that it characterises all Muslims as linked to extremism, terrorism and radicalism, which could lead children reading the book to believe that all Muslims are responsible for 9/11, and that followers of the Islamic faith are their enemies.

F ‘em!
Like there is anything an infidel could produce that WOULDN’T anger them. Except our bare necks, with our hands tied behind our backs.
Well, 9/11 angers US children!
The execution? I'll believe that when I see it.
"Children, the truth is, these terrorist acts were done by freedom-hating radical Islamic Muslim extremists..."
Well, that doesn't seem to jive, do it?
tough zhit, mo......
Americans are finished with Political Correctnes..
Then they have a serious problem. However, showing OBL being shot is a bit extreme depending on the kid’s age.
Then again why can’t America acknowledge enemies and victories?
Muck fuslims.
“The execution? I’ll believe that when I see it.
“
Actually according to the article it shows a soldier shooting at OBL who is hiding behind a woman.
History must be accurate
I have zero problem with it and hope they sell millions
Muslims are “linked to extremism, terrorism and radicalism”. We can’t and won’t ignore that fact.
WE WILL NOT SUBMIT!!!
correction
it shows a military person, not a soldier and we know it was a SEAL
Hey, Muslims? Haven’t you heard that we’re supposed to be tolerant, according to the liberals? So tolerate it.

Coincidence? I don't know.
Where can I buy some? I want to give them to kids as Hawloween treats. These coloring books are better than candy.
Is there anything described there that isn’t the truth?
