#6 So the late Prof Said recommended the book? (so says one of the comments at Amazon) I'm not sure that's a great endorsement of its accuracy...

#7 Fairly concise and accurate bio of Weiss here:

He was critical of Islamic ridigity throughout his life. He resigned from the Pakistani government because they refused him permission to marry an American Islamic convert, and tried to publish an English translation of the Quran without "later ideological developments." He repeatedly wrote that he was initially attracted to Islam because of its emphasis on reason rather than zealotry and blind faith. In 1980, he re-issued his work "Islam at the Crossroads," adding extensive footnotes, including this:

âAlas, the present re-awakening (is not) to the true values of the Qurâan and Sunnah but rather a confusion resulting from the readiness of so many Muslims to accept blindly the social forms and thought processes evolved in the medieval Muslim world ...'

Weiss died in 1992. He is buried in the Islamic cemetary in Granada, Spain.
