Amazon has pulled more than a dozen products off its website after receiving complaints that the items are offensive to Muslims.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation's largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, asked the online retailer last week to remove the products, which included doormats, bath mats and other items imprinted with Islamic calligraphy, references to the Prophet Muhammad and scripture.
The products, which were being sold by independent merchants on Amazon's website, are deemed offensive because they "would be stepped-on or otherwise disrespected by customers," CAIR said in a statement on Thursday. The following day, CAIR issued another statement welcoming Amazon's decision to remove the items from its website and conduct an audit to purge similarly offensive products. "We thank Amazon for its swift action on this issue and hope it sends a message to manufacturers of such inappropriate and offensive items that they will not profit from Islamophobia or any other form of bigotry," Masih Fouladi, executive director of CAIR's Washington state chapter, said in the statement. Amazon is based in Seattle, Washington.

islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Islam wants to kill you.
Please comply.
“Every part of human civilization is offensive to the sub-human savage muslims.”
That’s a fact.
How about removing muslims offensive to me?
That would be...all of them.
Boycott Amazon
Islam means submission.
Enjoy your submission.
But Amazon is good for ordering infidel protective devices, like laser sights, ammo clips and CCW holsters. They come in handy when celebrating Christmas in San Bernardino or going to a night club in Florida.
There goes my wealth enhancement plan. I was going to sell rolls of toilet paper printed with Koranic script and pictures of the false prophet in search of real profit.
I guess I am done with Amazon too.
Like what?
Eventually they will ban books that are critical of Islam. Welcome to another sponser of Mad Moe’s Mafia!
Dear CAIR, please do not forget that homosexual people are offensive to Muslims. Will you demand anything with a rainbow or which can be interpreted to support gays be removed from Amazon also?
"...That would be...all of them..."
Next, who else will they try to stop offending until they can't work?
So it’s the same being done for things at mock or disparage Christians?
The whole article is confusing to me. For what market were these things made in the first place?
It’s hard to read the actual items noted, but they don’t seem to have been created to mock Islam.
So, who would buy them in the first place?
What about a grocery store that sells the NY Times?
A grocery store is no place for the Old Gray Whore.
I don’t have an Amazon account. I bought every single Christmas gift at a store.
Now we know who our real masters are.
“Islam wants to kill you.”
Amazon employees have something to worry about.
