There was, by the way, a german artist (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serdar_Somuncu) who commented that actually reading Mein Kampf exposes it as a very bad and simple book and no one should be surprised of Hitlers actions later after reading. Also, one of his point is that it is terrible in style and mostly rambling.
He also went on a tour and actually read the book on > 1000 occasions and won multiple prices.
Now, imagine Serdar doing that in 1946. He would - for good reasons - be ostracized.
Mahbod, even if he were "only" commenting on stylistic things, shows that he is lacking something very important: tact and empathy. This is not a triviality and as such not "okay". He also didn't frame the comment in any way (e.g. "I am surprised to see such an artfully...").
He should have seen that coming. If he hadn't, he shouldn't be leading any community.
