The publisher of a coloring book geared for adults about the horrors of ISIS is upset that Amazon.com pulled the book from its inventory without warning and believes they did so out of political correctness.

Wayne Bell, the owner of Really Big Coloring Books, Inc., published “ISIS: A Culture of Evil” and received an order for thousands of copies from the online retail giant. Because of the graphic nature of the coloring book, it comes with an adult warning to clarify it’s not meant for children. Amazon carries other inventory of adult coloring books, including those of the X-rated variety. But while those remain for sale on the site, and viewable by children, the company decided a coloring book about the evils of Islamic terrorism was too much.

Bell said he received no warning that his product was being pulled and then after months of waiting for Amazon to return the inventory, the company sent it back in black bags.

“Our company has always had a good relationship with Amazon,” Bell said. “They ordered thousands of dollars of the ISIS book, banned it completely without notice, gave no direct answers on the inventory they withheld and then began to return our product in small black bags.”

“In over 15 years of doing business with Amazon, we have never received any return inventory in black bags,” Bell added. “Based on what I can tell, the Islamic community and many hardcore left-wing radical Islamic sympathizer-zealots picketed Amazon to take this factual book offline.”

Bell said a Change.org was started against his company. He even received threatening phone calls and hate mail. Bell described once seeing “intimidating Muslim dressed men circling our office window.” In one of the phone calls, someone stated in a foreign accent: “‘Mr. Bell do still sit – at 224 North Meramec Avenue?’ He began to yell and scream. We notified a Clayton, MO Police Detective to document the call.”

Here are a few pages from the coloring book which details how Islamic terrorism is spreading across the world and hear in our country, targeting cities like San Bernardino, Orlando, and New York City:

Bell said, “As a Publisher of 30 years, it’s pathetic when our country cowers to the politically correct and employs individuals that are supposed to represent freedom of speech. Amazon currently sells and ships adult, X-rated content in which children can easily view in a coloring book format. I understand financial pressures from a customer base but what Amazon management has done is simply pathetic. This is America.”
