Amazon Accused of Suppressing Book Critical of Islam

Author Robert Spencer claims that Amazon is suppressing his book 'The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses'. He notes that when he searched for the book on Amazon using various keywords, including the title, subtitle, and author name, it didn't appear in the search results. However, when he clicked on a pre-existing link to the book's page, it was accessible.

Spencer experimented by searching for his other books and found that they appeared prominently in the search results, but 'The Tragedy of Islam' did not. He suggests that Amazon may be hiding the book from customers who don't have a direct link to it.

This is not an isolated incident, as Amazon has previously removed books critical of Islam, such as 'Mohammed's Koran' by Peter McLoughlin and Tommy Robinson, sparking controversy and accusations of censorship. Spencer argues that this latest development raises concerns about the suppression of free speech and the impact on society.

Spencer encourages readers to try searching for his book on Amazon and see if they can find it. He also notes that the book is available from other retailers like Barnes & Noble, where it appears in search results.
