In the series of good excuses: A man in Lebanon with a German and a Israeli passport is arrested. The Lebanese authorities think he might be a spy.
‘Sharon, who is in his early 30s, has Israeli and German citizenship and entered Lebanon on his German passport.
In an interview with the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot 11 years ago, Sharon told of how he traveled the Arab world, including Lebanon, and felt it was the most beautiful country in the world.
"I really love Arab culture, I really love Arabs and so why not live among them," Sharon said in the newspaper, which showed a picture of him wearing an Arab keffiyeh around his neck.
Sharon also told of how he decided to convert to Islam in 1994 after reading the Quran, the Muslim holy book.
"To a certain extent I feel I don't have any connection to Judaism, I'm Muslim," Sharon said.
On Sunday, his father, Moshe Sharon, told Israel's Army Radio that his son had only good intentions,’ according to Ha’aretz.

(In my modest opinion a real spy would never come up with such a crazy excuse.)
