Just like Islam and Christianity.<br /><br />However, it is absolutely possible for a Jew to convert to Islam and there have been many cases. It is very common to associate them as "Muslim Jews" in this day in age.

There is no race called Jews just like there is no race called Ramallahites, even Palestinians, or even Egyptians or Syrains or Iraqi. Forming a group of people with common values and shared interest is an etnicity, not a race. Iranians and Armenians are the same racially, but they are different ethnically since one group adoptedAhmed Khalilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772506350726394725.post-79114988490020707282012-03-29T12:36:33.972+11:002012-03-29T12:36:33.972+11:00Apart from that you are correct.

The blonde blue-eyed Jew was actually a migrant from the Russian kingdom that converted to Judaism after a group of Hebrews travelled from Babylon to expose them to the religion. These "Jews" travelled throughout Europe, predominantly migrating into today's Poland and its surrounding regions, and are not in fact originally "Jews".<br /><br Adel Helalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666066501005522895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772506350726394725.post-7269558574254695762012-03-29T12:28:54.985+11:002012-03-29T12:28:54.985+11:00Actually the "Jew" originated from the l...Actually the "Jew" originated from the land that was called Judea, which was founded after the civil war following Solomon's death. The land was split into Judea and Samaria, making the nation that the Israelites inhabited weak, which is why Nebuchadnezzar was able to conquer them and take over the land. The word "Jew" therefore has the correlation of being part of a race Adel Helalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666066501005522895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772506350726394725.post-60238793741474635102012-03-27T08:32:13.572+11:002012-03-27T08:32:13.572+11:00In your response about the question of "Jewis...In your response about the question of "Jewish" not being a race above you contend that they are a race. You are wrong. First, the original inhabitants of the region from which Judaism arose were not call Jews as there were no such people known as such.
