Arabic Mein Kampf sells in PA areas, London

http://www.jpost.com/Editions/2002/03/19/LatestNews/LatestNews.45493.html 

Arabic-language copies of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf are on sale at newsstands on London's Edgware Road, which has a large Arab population, and has become a bestseller in Palestinian Authority-controlled territory, the British Daily Telegraph reported. 

Bavaria's state government claims the copyright to the book, and has tried to stop its publication.  The Arab edition, published by a Lebanon-based company, has a picture of Hitler and a swastika on the cover. Translator Luis al-Haj writes in his foreword that "National Socialism did not die with the death of its herald, rather, its seeds multiply under each star."
