Now. If Amazon is asked to remove this dreck, and refuses, then the next step is a boycott - not a lawsuit to force them not to do business with someone.

Any legal means is fair and square to confront a moral atrocity.

What legal grounds is there for a lawsuit?

if someone wrote books promoting the annihilation of a particular race of people, like African-Americans, you know in a minute that Nambalazon would not (rightfully) sell such (and there would be an immediate uproar in our society).

They do. It’s called the Turner Diaries. The author, Andrew McDonald is the nom de plume of William Pierce, former head of the National Alliance, the most organized Neo-Nazi group in the United States.

But when something is so blatantly immoral, and may well actually lead to the increased sexual rape of children, that crosses my line - and a great many others' as well. Just like a book calling for the elimination of Jews, homosexuals or blacks would cross most people's lines (and, as I said, which I doubt Namblazon would sell).

If the author’s book makes a political argument, it is perfectly legal to sell. If the author openly suggests the commission of crimes by the reader, that’s another. If you don’t want Amazon to carry the book you have every right to boycott them. Good luck. Amazon knows they will lose a lot more business if they decide NOT to carry such material.

I personally find censorship deplorable.
