    A Jewish person can, I know many of them.

    A Muslim cannot.

    answer: they falsely believe that putting on a kippah, saying a few words of Hebrew, calling Jesus - Yeshua and inserting a divine, sacrificed savior into Jewish Holy days and rituals makes them Jewish. It doesn't. They are Christians who dishonor Christianity and Judaism. ALL branches of Judaism agree - they are Christians, not Jews. Despite attempts to twist quotes and actual facts, they are NOT recognized by any Jewish branch nor Israel as Jews. Very few were EVER Jewish, something our Christian friends don't usually realize. These are Christians that have joined a sect of Christianity. The handful that were Jewish are now APOSTATES/estranged, no longer part of the Jewish community and no longer part of the Jewish religion. And for those claiming Judaism is an ethnicity or even a separate race - they are wrong. There are Jews among every ethnic group and the 'race' thing is NAZI ideology.

    A Jew (a descendant of Abraham... as I am) who BELIEVES (that is, one who follows what Jesus said AND the new testament) is a Messianic Jew. A traditional orthodox Jew does not per se believe that Jesus wasn't a real person, but just doesn't believe that He was the messiah.

    Muslims believe in Jesus also, but again they don't believe that He was God and do not follow His words or the New Testament.

    Being Jewish is being a member of a nationality not a religion and there are many Christian Jews. Muslims cannot be Christians and vice versa. You cannot serve two masters.

    Um.... Muslims DO believe in Jesus and so do the Jews. It's just that neither group believes he was the "Son of God".

    Muslims do believe in Jesus(pbuh), the only difference is that Muslims view Jesus(pbuh) as a beloved prophet of God, not the son of god.

    thank you.

    I am Muslim believing Jesus.

    "Say: we believe in God and in what has been revealed to us, and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il: Isaac, Jacob and The Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another, among them, and to God do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Qur'an, Al-Imran 3:84)

    I would think that if you don't believe in the fundamentals of a religion, why would you present yourself as a member of it?
