What are those Turks doing? I swear, when can we stop Socialism and its worthless ideals off the face of the earth before somebody gets hurt.

'Mein Kampf' a Best Seller in Turkey

By JAMES C. HELICKE, Associated Press Writer

ISTANBUL, Turkey - Turkish bookshops have a best seller, but some of them are hesitant about giving it too much display.

It's "Mein Kampf."

The popularity of Adolf Hitler's book, filled with anti-Jewish diatribes and dreams of world domination, is puzzling some Turks. Does it reflect rising anti-Semitic or anti-Western sentiment in Muslim Turkey? Or anger over Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and the war in Iraq? Is it a backlash against the country's moves to join the European Union Or does it simply offer a cheap thrill?

The popularity of the New Testament, filled with anti-Jewish diatribes and dreams of world domination, is puzzling some Athiests. Does it reflect rising anti-Semitic or anti-secular sentiment in the United States? Or anger over Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and the war in Iraq? Is it a backlash against the country's moves to assist the European Union Or does it simply offer a cheap thrill?

According to USAToday, the best selling book in the US this week is:
"The Purpose-Driven Life" by Rick Warren. Here's a link to the first seven chapters of the book:

My Question to you is: What are those Americans doing?

Cheers,
