Leopold Weiß war Jude. Er wagte den Schritt über den Zaun, ging auf in einer fremden Welt, verwandelte sich - die Liebe ist zweifellos die intensivste Weise, andere zu verstehen. Aus Leopold Weiß wurde Muhammad Asade, aus dem Reporter ein verehrter Weiser des Islam. Später, als reifer Mann, hat er die Geschichte dieses Abeinteuers aufgeschrieben - 'Der Weg nach Mekka'.

Interesting story about a Jewish convert to Islam. Some obnoxious fawning which I found cringeworthy. Asad's translation of the Qur'an is quite popular. (
