Amazon Discontinues Sale of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam Books

    Amazon recently discontinued sales of four of Louis Farrakhan's organization's books on the "contentious history of interactions of Blacks and Jews." Although the link for at least one of the books is still active, the page notes that "This title is not currently available for purchase."

Archived copies of the page show that both a Kindle and paperback version of the book were recently available for sale.

    Archives also show that several other books, including Volumes 2 and 3 of the Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews series and another book called Jews Selling Blacks, that were once sold by Amazon. These are no longer available either:

    The Nation of Islam Research Group published an article decrying the "ban" of the books, saying the "[t]he privatizing of the First Amendment and doling out its privileges to Jews alone are where this Satanic cabal is moving." The article begins:

The banning of four Nation of Islam Black history books by Amazon, the largest bookseller in the world, provides a perfect opportunity to examine the wickedly racist ways Jewish power is wielded in America. Amazon provided no warning, no reason, no hearing, and no opportunity to respond—it was a blatant mockery of Amazon founder Jeffrey Bezos’s own creed, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” 

    The article is similar in tone to one written on March 1 by Michael Hoffman, a man that the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center both call a "Holocaust denier." As The Script reported in February, Hoffman spoke at this year's Nation of Islam Saviours' Day event after meeting with Farrakhan at Farrakhan's home. Under the heading "Amazon Bans Black History Books during Black History Month," Hoffman wrote:

On Feb. 17 at the United Center in Chicago, before a cheering crowd of black Muslims numbered in the thousands — and who knows how many viewing around the world via webcast — this writer lauded the Nation of Islam’s three volume The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews as “magisterial revisionist history.”   

Nine days later, on February 26, after having been offered for sale on Amazon for several years, these three books were suddenly banned for “violating content guidelines,” an apparent euphemism for offending the Holy People. Coincidence?

    Amazon's move comes in the midst of the company's removal of a number of White Nationalist books as noted by several prominent White Nationalist websites. Amazon did not respond to a request for comment on the removal, or on the continued availability of David Duke's book "Jewish Supremacism: My Awakening to the Jewish Question." However, within hours of The Script's query to Amazon, Duke's book was removed from the site.

Farrakhan On Exclusive Use Of "The Holocaust" For Jews During WW2: "To Them, The Suffering Of Six Million Jews Is Worth Seven Billion Human Beings"

   Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan continued his public haranguing of the "Satanic Jew," his term for his Jewish critics, in his 2019 Saviours' Day event keynote address in Chicago at the United Center on Sunday. At one point, Farrakhan addressed the issue of the Holocaust and how he believes Jewish people have unjustly appropriated the word "holocaust" to apply exclusively to Hitler's attempt to wipe out Jews worldwide during World War II (video, 2:39)*:

"Now some of the Jewish people who are under the Talmud - Lord have mercy - they think so much of themselves -- that you black people -- you look at 400 years, you look at the transatlantic slave trade you look at them hanging us up, burning us at the stake, raping us, robbing us, and you call it "the Holocaust," and a Jew will say to you, Uh uh, you can't use that term. How many of you have heard Jewish people tell you you can't use "holocaust" when you talk about black suffering.  Do you know why? Because to them, the suffering of six million Jews is worth seven billion human beings on our planet. So when you say "holocaust" that's to them, blasphemy. That's how cheap they think of Palestinian life, the life of the Gentiles - only their life is sacred." [emphasis added]

   Earlier on Sunday, Michael Hoffman, a man that both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have called a "Holocaust denier," addressed the gathering at the United Center. A photo was posted on Twitter by someone in the crowd:

   Hoffman had visited with Farrakhan at Farrakhan's house on the eve of the Nation of Islam conference and posted a photo on Twitter of himself with Farrakhan:

   Hoffman has written regarding his own books, "it is necessary to have the courage to point out the many parallels between Nazi ideology and the Israeli Zionist ideology which is engaged in the on-going dispossession and murder of Palestinians." He also has a photo of himself from the year 2000 holding a banner equating the Star of David to the Nazi swastika:

   Two years ago at Saviours' Day 2017, Farrakhan's hosted 9/11 Truthers who gave a presentation alleging Jewish responsibility for the terror attacks as a false flag excuse to start a "War on Islam." The Truthers used this graphic in their presentation:

   The Script reported on this 2017 presentation last week.
