>>Yeah, 282RA? What about Jews who aren't religious? What about Jews who are atheists? (like Woody Allen, for example)<<

I have no idea what you're talking about (big surprise). What does the formation of the Jewish religion have to do with Woody Allen or people of Jewish background who consider themselves atheists?

Oh, I see. Therefore the question is settled. Thank you for informing me.

>>the only thing that makes anyone a Jew is this: at least one of his parents was a Jew, and he or she thinks of himself/herself as being a Jew. That's it. Period. The rest is debatable.<<

Once again, what does this have to do with anything I was talking about? I said Arabs likely existed before there were Jews. I think this is fairly obvious. They were nomadic tribes living off whatever the land offered them. I said that Muslims, however, came after Jews. I think this can be easily proven. Now what has that do with with someone thinking they are a Jew or having at least one parent that was a Jew? You're losing me.
