Stimmt eigentlich das Raunen, daß Mohammed mütterlicherseits — und darauf kommt es an — ein gebürtiger Jude war ?
Seine Lehre spielte jedenfalls dem Judentum in die Hände!
Die Jewish Encyclopedia (New York) schreibt unter dem Stichwort TURKEY:
Isaac Ẓarfati's Letter.
"The condition of the Jews in Turkey about the middle of the fifteenth century was so prosperous and in such contrast to the hardships endured by their fellow Israelites in Germany and Europe generally that Isaac Ẓarfati, a Jew who had settled in Turkey, was moved to send a circular letter to the Jewish communities in Germany and Hungary inviting their members to emigrate to Turkey. The letter is preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris (Ancien Fonds, No. 291). It gives a glowing description of the lot of Jews in Turkey (for its date see Grätz, "Gesch." viii., note 6). Ẓarfati says:
"Turkey is a land in which nothing is lacking. If you wish, all can go well with you. Through Turkey you can safely reach the Holy Land. Is it not better to live under Moslems than under Christians?"
