These aren't here for the same reason the Beatles' WHITE ALBUM isn't

Just because some people misuse the words found in religious works doesn’t make them invalid or “bad” for the world.

Charles Manson killed a bunch of people because of the coded messages he thought he heard on the Beatles’ WHITE ALBUM. Clearly, the vast majority of those who treasure that piece of art don’t behave similarly.

It’s not God or Allah’s fault what is done in His name.

Marx?

Then it could easily be argued that Marx’s Communist Manifesto should be removed from the list as well.

Marx didn’t commit the atrocities, Stalin did.

It’s not Marx’s fault that others misinterpreted his idea.

Same goes for Darwin’s book. There is nothing ‘harmful’ about it.

It’s not a 19th or 20th c. book
