Why was there a backlash?

The public backlash against Aafaq selling Mein Kampf stemmed from the book's association with Nazi ideology and the Holocaust. Many find its content deeply offensive and harmful, particularly in a diverse city like London. The shop's subsequent removal of the book demonstrates how public opinion can influence commercial decisions, especially concerning sensitive historical or political material.
