No. he would simply call himself Jewish. let me ask you the same question, would a Muslim call himself Jewish for surrendering to the will of God?
in other words, what's the point of these word plays?
In great deal, that seems to be entirely up to personal interpretation.
Personally, I don't find it interesting at all, it is pretty revisionistic.
I'm sorry but what does WWII has to do with this thread? there were also Muslims serving in Nazi divisions, and cooperation between the mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler. furthermore, if you are so interested in the topic of humanitarian aid, Israel has a very good record of sending aid even to Muslim populations in times of crisis, including to Muslims which have historically participated in the extermination of Jews during WWII (see Bosnia).
Many Jews share commonalities with Muslims. unfortunately here on the web (and even more unfortunate in the real world) many Muslims have made many Jewish members very sceptical about this idea. I know that from my part, I have been accused of being a devil worshipper, enemy of God, part of a global evil conspiracy, etc. etc. all because many Muslim people who join on line forums are completely indocrinated. personally I don't see any resemblance between what they call religion and what I call religion. they flood forums with the boring threads about the so called scientific miracles in the Qur'an, and their major goal for posting is proclaiming to the world how grand and amazing their religion is.
in short, many Muslim members themselves are making me more prone to have prejudices about Islam and Muslims.
there was a time that I read the Qur'an, Muslim literature, and Muslim history in order to educate myself and in order to have a better dialogue with Muslims, today I tend to see the chance for a fruitful dialogue small. I find much more constructive dialogue and common education partners with members who are Christian, as we actually engage in discussion about Jewish and Christian scripture, and about early history without any of us trying to push his religion down the other guy's throat, and in fact without producing any of the useless postings about scientific miracles in scriptures, why only one group is correct, without condemning each other, and without provoking each other.
I think that depends because what does the word ''Jew'' mean and the word ''Jew'' has a religion and nationality sticker on it so it would be confusing.
I was actually referring the question to the ''jews'' like what do you (personally) or the majority think the difference is about Non-Jews and Jews.
Sorry to hear it i found it interesting though just wanted to share something.
Like i mentioned it had nothing to do with the Subject i hope you saw that, now i am from Morocco myself and we opened our borders and send troops to save the jews we also have a great history in our country with jewish berbers and arabs, i think we had around 1million jews in 1945 till 1948/49 when Israel was created i am pretty sure Turkey had something about the same numbers and other countries.
Bosnia was fighting on two fronts and yes there was Extremism there, but lets not go off-topic because i can simply copy and paste the history of the Isreal-state what also has nothing to do with the subject.
Yes i do agree on that i also find these on the forums and feel disgusted by some who behave like that i also prefer a intellectual debate about those ''Miracles'', ''Simalirties'' instead of copy/pasting articles what i think the Majority does.
You should just Ignore those people and search for the better speakers its not like a uneducated person gets much attention at all.
