Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

First Amazon removed doormats Hamas-linked CAIR claimed were offensive to Muslims, now it’s toilet seat covers

Jan 10, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

First, Amazon removed doormats featuring Qur’an verses from sale on the demand of the Hamas-linked Council on American Islamic Relations. Now Amazon is reviewing all of its products that are offensive to Muslims, after complaints continued over “toilet seat covers adorned with Islamic iconography.”

Upon removal of the doormats, the xecutive director of CAIR’s Washington, DC branch, Masih Fouladi,”expressed his gratitude for Amazon’s quick response to the matter,” stating that Amazon’s action “sends a message to manufacturers of such inappropriate and offensive items that they will not profit from Islamophobia or any other form of bigotry.”

Rather than calling upon Muslims to assimilate and adopt Western norms, Western society is being forced to assimilate and adapt to Islamic sensibilities. To not do so renders one “Islamophobic,” “bigoted,” and “anti-Muslim.”

There are also Christian toilet sets at Amazon, as well as doormats featuring Bible verses, without accusations of bigotry from Christians and Jews.


“Amazon Selling Toilet Seat Covers Printed with Islamic Scripture Amid Complaints From Muslim Community,” by Sabrina Barr, Independent, January 9, 2019:

Amazon is selling items including toilet seat covers adorned with Islamic iconography amid complaints they are offensive to the Muslim community.

The online retailer recently announced its decision to withdraw a selection of products featuring Islamic scripture from its site following a request from an American-Muslim civil rights group.

A variety of derogatory products are still available to purchase on the site. However, the retailer has stated that all products in violation of its policies will be reviewed.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) submitted an appeal last week for Amazon to remove 20 bath maths and doormats being sold through its platform by retail company Emvency.

“Cair said it received complaints about the items offered by Amazon seller Emvency that are offensive to Muslims because the Quranic verses and other Islamic references would be stepped-on or otherwise disrespected by customers,” the organisation stated.

Amazon subsequently announced that all of the offending items listed by the advocacy group had been taken off the site.

“All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who do not will be subject to action including potential removal of their account,” an Amazon spokesperson told The Independent.

“The products in question are being removed from our store.”

Masih Fouladi, executive director of CAIR’s Washington, DC branch, expressed his gratitude for Amazon’s quick response to the matter

“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…..

    If it’s not allowed in a countries where Sharia Law applies, surely it should now be allowed in a Western democracy either. Right Cair?

      “now” – meant to say *not

    Here’s a great idea…toilet paper with verses of the Koran on it…I’ve noticed when you read passages from the Koran you end up sh*tting yourself

      stitt29rg: How about with pictures of a well known prophet on it?

        Hell yeah! Gotta be 2 ply and soft. Can’t have the Koran causing more discomfort than it already does!

    My impression is that we in the West should just say no when Muslims demand changes in our cultural practices and society. The more nos they get the better. It would show them whose society it is and who has to adapt to whom. They apply the same rules to us when we visit them. They would never open their society to provide refuge to Christians or Jews or atheists. Why should they have privileges here they would never extend to us.

      James, re just saying “no”. You make so much sense. But that is something, sadly that the Jihadi-loving “progressives” in the West don’t seem to understand. But don’t give up trying!

    “All sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who do not will be subject to action including potential removal of their account,”
    ***************************************
    So amazon…the company that moslims said was unfair to moslim employees because they didn’t give enough time for preying…has now decided that anything offensive to moslims will be removed and the vendor will lose their account with amazon.
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    The creepy c.a.i.r. creature said, “they will not profit from Islamophobia or any other form of bigotry…”
    ******************************
    But c.a,i.r. and all the creepy moslim creatures WILL profit from the fake “phobia” and bigotry against everyone who is not worshipping their fake god and bowing to the beast.

    moslims use the fake phobia as a club to beat everyone over the head, beat everyone into submission to their wild beast and its image they have created. They are all prejudiced against all who do not share their view of things and express their bigotry in oh-so-many ways. Including rape and murder.

    I wouldn’t buy something with anything about islam on it. But each amazon customer should be allowed a choice without moslims deciding if they can even see it. Much like twitter and facebook allowing c.a.i.r. to decide who has an account. How easily they are taking over.

      We should boycott Amazon or at the least let them know that they are offending Chriatians with there products that makes fun of our religion and culture. Muslims do not belong in a civilized county they will turn it into where they came from and we will no longer have not even one right.

    Will grocery stores and butcher stores be next? Will cair demand that all pork products be removed from the cold shelves because they are offensive to moslims and we are not allowed to “profit” from our taste buds?

    My dad still has a bicycle seat from back in the 80s that has an image of Ayatollah Khomeini all puckered up & ready to kiss.

    How far will they let them go, have certfied halal stuff taken away due to contamination due to kuffar handling? Charities that don’t further izlum or material that contradicts their koran?
    Remove images of people?:p
    Anything-goes “religion” which allows for repeated chanting to wash away bad deeds too .

    My business partners and I are considering marketing toilet paper with Quran verses printed on each sheet. Another option is toilet paper with five or six depictions of Mohammad. Surely the Islamic community will be suitably amused.

    but still selling The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion claiming it to be genuine. https://www.amazon.ca/Protocols-Learned-Elders-Zion/dp/1981685693/

    In the Hadith Muhammad was defecating while facing Jerusalem when he decided they would face the Ka’aba instead. I would say a toilet seat cover with this Sahih Bukhari Hadith in Arabic would be apt.

    Stop and think about this: Someone narrated this about the Prophet; that he was going to the bathroom when he made this momentous decision as well as having a revelation while in bed with Aisha. How about bedsheets in Arabic?

    Muslims are too concerned with be offended over anything. Predictable and hysterical.

    CAIR are dopes…thanks for reminding me of all the weird Hadith quotes about this “Perfect Man.” Sure, a toilet product is Islamophobic…

    Virtue-signalling submissive cowardly hypocrites.

    If they had integrity, they’d say: “Hey, if they offend you, don’t buy them!”

    A Quran versed toilet seat perfectly sums up the thoughts that occur when I read the Quran. Can I buy matching toilet paper as well?

    You can make your own doormat online. Get a photo of a burning koran somewhere, slap it on a doormat and push the magic “Buy” button. Your new doormat will arrive in a few days.

    Why don’t Amazon take the Koran off their books stock?

    First Amazon removed doormats Hamas-linked CAIR claimed were offensive to Muslims, now it’s toilet seat covers
    ……………………..

    When are Muslims *not* offended? And why should we care?

    Many bath mats of similar design also removed from Amazon at the same time

    The progressives love to throw around the word “tolerance”. But tolerance these days is a value often practiced by people who have no guts
