Judgment isn't censorship. Saying "other books have to meet these standards but my holy book doesn't" is censorship. Once we avoid giving "holy books" a special free pass, we can make judgments based on the quality of each book, just as a publisher does when deciding what books to publish, and a customer does when deciding which books to buy.
But as I understand it, people are not advocating the removal of the books in question because they're painfully written, boring and incoherent--the sort of thing that would make them hard to publish.

Huh? What standards are you talking about that one book must meet but what you call a "holy book" doesn't?
Sounds like you're in favor of "censoring" badly written books! How restrictive of you! What right have you to impose your ideas of grammar and common sense on others?
