Dad,

A Jew is a religious affliiation, not a race. If someone said Hebrew, that MIGHT be considered a race. An Israeli would be considered a nationality, could be a Jew, an Arab (Moslem) or a Christian (and I assume there might be a stray something or other there)

When GOD spoke to Abraham he told him he would be the father of many great nations, The Jews, or Hebrews if you prefer, the Moslems (which sprang forth from the Jews) and the Christians, which of course are just Jews with with one added feature...and which sprang forth from the Jew also...

The Basics of (most) of the worlds monotheastic religions are similar, one supreme being...where they get conveluted is when MAN starts adding all the bull chit to them...

Then is a famous old quote (I cannot remember exactly who said it)
I'll paraphrase

Of ALL THAT IS WRITTEN in the TORAH, the BIBLE, the KORAN, if man would ONLY DO GOOD those written words (what is written in those books) would only be commentary ...to "DO GOOD"
