This is getting out of hand

How many books are banned in Qatar? Most of the books being removed are explicitly sexual in text and images. Mosty the books involve LGBTQAAIP+ subject matter and being offerd to children under the recomended age even by amazon standards. But at the same time the left want to ban Huckleberry Finn and Too Kill A Mockingbird because it has a bad word. A word said a 1000+ times a day in popular music Btw.
