In Austria's capital Vienna there's a square being named after a native Muslim... Muhammed Asad Platz. Mr Asad has been described as a great Austrian visionary who was born as Leopold Weiss as a Jew who embraced Islam in the 20th century and died in 1992.
He has also written a translation of the Holy Quran into English.
Naming one of Austria's capital's square after a Muslim was a part of a two-day programme on European Year of Intercultural Dialogue focussing on Islam's relationship with Europe.
