Wal-Mart has, in the past, banned books from their shelves if they have contained offensive, objectionable content. Unfortunately, they have missed a truly repulsive example of a book containing the most horribly offensive passages. This work of depravity:
- calls for discrimination against women and the disabled
- endorses slavery and the treatment of human beings as property
- incites hate crimes against American citizens
- encourages rape and murder of children
- calls for the murder of religious people and the destruction of their cities
- and, in what I would have thought should be of particular concern to Wal-Mart, demands the deaths of many hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart employees merely for doing their jobs
When you consider the hateful views espoused in this book, I'm shocked that Wal-Mart would allow that book to be sold in its stores.
That book is the Holy Bible, and there is a petition for Wal-Mart to remove the book from their shelves.
(I've written about a related matter before.)
