Norman Finkelstein est né à Brooklyn en 1953, de parents survivants des camps de concentration nazis. En 1988, il obtient son doctorat du Department of Politics at Princeton University, sur la théorie du sionisme. Disciple de Noam Chomsky et brillant universitaire, Norman Finkelstein est l’auteur de plusieurs ouvrages traduits dans le monde entier dont L’industrie de l’Holocauste (Réflexion sur l’exploitation de la souffrance des Juifs) (La Fabrique Editions - 2000) et Mythes et réalité du conflit israélo-palestinien (Aden Editions - 2006). Mais, la liberté de ton de Finkelstein dérange, elle lui a valu en 2007 d’être licencié de l’Université DePaul (Chicago) et d’être taxé de « Juif antisémite » par des membres de lobbies pro-israéliens américains.

, 1h32
Themes Films about religion, Documentary films about religion, Films about Islam

In the early 1920s Leopold Weiss, a Jew born in Lemberg, traveled to the Middle East. The desert fascinated him, and Islam became his new spiritual home. He left his Jewish roots behind, converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Asad. He became one of the most important Muslims of the 20th century, first as an adviser at the royal court of Saudi Arabia, and later translating the Quran into English. Asad also played an important role in the creation of Pakistan and served as its envoy to the United Nations. The director follows his fading footsteps, leading from the Arabian desert to Ground Zero. He finds a man who was not looking for adventures but rather wanted to act as a mediator between East and West. “A Road To Mecca” takes this opportunity to deal with a heated debate which is currently becoming more and more important.
