Mein Kampf, best seller in Arab countries, Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
.....
However, one thing that is certain is that the Arab world does promote the book as there are multiple translations of Hitler’s book in Arabic beginning in the 1930s. In order to attract Arabs, the original wording was changed in order to cater to Arabs who are also Semitic, such as changing “anti-Semitic” to “anti-Jewish” and toning down arguments for the supremacy of the “Aryan race.” And Hitler agreed to these modifications.
Then it was translated again and again, each time in order to be sensitive to Arabs so as not to offend them.
It seems the publishers knew that since it’s such a bestseller in the Arab world, it must be changed to appease them.
And so it keeps getting translated and re-translated in order to suit their needs and appeal to them. Why? Because anything that is against Jews is going to sell like hotcakes in the Arab world. Anti-Semitism is higher there than anywhere else.
Holocaust denial is also higher there than in the rest of the world, which is somewhat hypocritical since they’re such fans of Hitler, yet they deny what they consider to be his greatest work, the attempt to annihilate the world Jewish population. They share this dream, and this is why
Mein Kampf is a bestseller among Arabs.
But Arabs are not alone. It is a Muslim favorite, and
Bangladesh is a perfect example. This book is so much of a best seller there, that pirated copies are made and sold on the streets by children to motorists. Fifteen year-old Mabul is one of them.
“For some reason Hitler’s book is all the rage among educated people – on a typical day I can sell as many as five or six,” he told the BBC.
“Educated” people. People are being educated in anti-Semitism. It is not simply some poor village people who don’t know any better but rather, professionals who live in the modern world. The bigotry is institutionalized and despite all the attempts at political correctness and the idea of acceptance and peace, these concepts are apparently supposed to catch on when they pertain to Muslims. When it comes to Jews, the 2000 year-old anti-Semitism is largely condoned. The popularity of
Mein Kampf is just one example among many.
