#1 Doesn't "kampf" translate from German to "jihad" in Arabic?

#2 90 years after publication, Hitler's "Mein Kampf"

You're off by ten years.

#3 It is hard to erase 2000 yrs of antisemitism from the hearts of the Euros. The idea of a Jew actually defending himself is anathema to Euros. They only Jews they can tolerate are those in "the Fiddler" or those that Hitler killed. Same goes for Turkeys and their Islamist Gov.

#4 That's a pretty broad brush you're using there, Glereper.

#5 You exaggerate, GC. It's only a little over 1700 years in Europe, after all. For the Turks, however, this kind of antisemitism is fairly new, an artifact of Islamicism, as far as I can tell, evidenced by the fact that so many are purchasing Mein Kampf to find out what it's all about.

#6 That's a pretty broad brush you're using there, Glereper.

Europe isn't doing a hell of a whole lot to dispel that notion.

#7 Turkey is not Europe.
Good luck with Mein Kampf.
The Germans never read it back then.

#8 chances are the Turks aren't reading it either. Think 'Mao's little red book', just a cool thing to carry into the Mosque to show you're pure

#10 SOunds like deep down he believes the Euros are waiting for someone to conquer them all and make them into the USA of Eurasia, or Federal Union of Eurasia, and are severely lamenting why Caesar,Charlemagne, William, Henry, Otto, Churchill,Bonaparte,................Attila, Ghengis, and Vlad Dracuil, even Adolf, didn't do it!? Ala Bill Clinton and Clintonism, "just because we said we don't want to be America or like America doesn't mean we meant it, you b******"!

#12 Ok, Hitler is popular again and Bush == Hitler. So why isn't George W a Euro-Hero? Does he need to conquer a few more countries first? Or invade France?

#13 You forgot Poland

#14 He linked interest in the book to Turkey's bid to join the European Union, seen by the right-wing as a desertion of national values, and rising sentiment against the United States and its ally Israel over the treatment they are perceived here as meting out to the Iraqis and the Palestinians, respectively.

"This book, which does not contain a single ounce of humanity, unfortunately appears to be taken seriously in this country," political scientist Dogu Ergil complained in a recent newspaper interview. He agreed that the unexpected popularity of "Mein Kampf" in the Muslim-majority country has its roots in a rise in anti-American sentiment sparked by the occupation of Iraq and anti-Semitism resulting from Israel's Palestinian policy.

So, is there a correlation between Anti-americanism and facination with Nazis? Seems obvious when it comes to Anti-semitism.

Or have they fallen victim to the leftist "Bush===Hitler", and they got the book to figure out what Bush is going to do next? Will their brains explode when they try to reconcile what they read in it with Bush's stated intention (and action) to SPREAD democracy.
