Why was Mein Kampf sold?

Aafaq, a new Arabic bookshop in London, initially stocked translated copies of Mein Kampf. Bookshops often aim to offer a wide range of titles, including historical or controversial texts, to cater to diverse interests or academic study. The shop's decision to remove them came after public criticism, highlighting the tension between freedom of expression and community sensitivities.
