Jewish groups and Holocaust survivors are protesting one of Italy's top-selling iPhone apps: It's called iMussolini.
The app contains audio, video, and text of 100 of Mussolini's speeches dating back to 1914. iMussolini has thus far out sold the X-ray app, which "allows you to see your friends naked," as well as the film-based video game, Avatar.
Mussolini is known for his speeches, his anti-Semetic views and race laws, and his alignment with Nazi Germany during World War II. Tullia Zevi, former head of the Jewish community in Rome, told the Times Online that the app represented "the slide towards legitimizing fascism and the rehabilitation of Mussolini".
iPhone Italy has said the app was "not a political item, but one of history".
