This is very strange indeed having a book store ban a self-help work by a psychologist, but worse, the banning of books is not limited to New Zealand, this is a rampant ideology around the world that believes people must defend Islam and it's ideology?
At the same time find nothing wrong with Hitler's book, ''Mein Kampf'', (my struggle)? Why ban any book? A personal agenda, a personal ideology? Fear?
The question that remains is why do many who claim they are about the freedom to chose but find it necessary to attack the individual freedom to have an opinion?
Also what is the motivation of a book store to ban a book that proposes to give direction to individuals that seek help for personal problems?
Again, like the ''climate change'' psychosis, mass hypnosis?, is the belief Islam must be defended at all costs?

Bookstore Removes Jordan Peterson Book Over Mosque Shooting, Continues Selling ‘Mein Kampf’
A New Zealand bookstore stopped selling Jordan Peterson’s book in light of the Christchurch mosque shootings, but continues offering “Mein Kampf.”
Management at Whitcoulls, one of the largest bookstores in New Zealand, said it would be wrong to support Peterson by selling “12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos” in light of “some extremely disturbing material being circulated prior, during and after the Christchurch attack,” according to an apparent customer service email, likely referencing a photograph in which Peterson embraced a fan wearing an “I’m A Proud Islamaphobe” T-shirt.
The store, however, continues to offer Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and Albert Cooper’s “Why Islamic Society Is Not Compatible With American Society,” according to its website.
Peterson, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, advocates self-improvement and has not promoted bigotry in his writings or lectures. The book in question only makes one reference to Muslims, which is not derogatory.
ACT Party leader David Seymour criticized Whitcoull’s decision to remove Peterson’s book, saying restricting books was an ineffective way to combat neo-Nazism. “You don’t fight neo-Nazism by suppressing reading and books. Anyone who knows any history knows that’s the opposite of how you fight these kind of ideas,” Seymour told Newshub. “A self-help book is an incredibly strange thing to suppress. I think Whitcoulls have made the wrong decision, but I respect they’re a private company, it’s their right.”
