   �Why is it a major task to get your hands on a Bible in Muslim dominated 
countries yet it's quite readly available to purchase Mein Kampf in 
practically any book shop?�

E.S., you are off base on this one. You should have checked your facts better.

The Quran commands Muslims to honor the Prophets who came before Mohammad (pbuh) and to respect the Books revealed before the Quran. Copies of Bible have always been available in Muslim countries (perhaps with the exception of CIA created Taliban). I have personally seen it for sale in bookstores. And, I have seen thriving churches in Muslim countries as well.

I think what you meant to say was that proselytizing is illegal in most Muslim countries. I understand some Christians feel this is a religious mandate for them. Islam does not have a similar requirement so the idea is foreign to us. However, third world people have had bad experiences with this practice. Many peoples have been wiped out �to save their souls�.

I hope you forgive us if we keep proselytizing illegal in order to save our own skins.

I should also point out that, personally, I never knew Hitler had ever written a book, let alone it was called Mein Kampf, until I immigrated to the West.

	I lived in Pakistan and found the Bible. Not sure what you meant? You can have a Bible just not proselytize. I went to msot bookstores and did not find Mein Kamph... that is not to say it is not there.. but the isolated place does not say it is everywhere. Just like not all people who are Catholic and go overseas to do "good works" is out to convert people. There is a huge variety of people. You are talking about a region that goes from West Africa to Indonesia..
