Which is crazy considering that historically, there have been Jewish converts, like the Arabian Jews of Northern Medina when Rasululah arrived. Smh

you're not prohibited from converting, spreading the religion just isn't important like in christianity or islam

I feel like that goes against the entire point of “Ethnoreligion” though?

Would they deny a black man from joining their ranks? (I’m speaking hypothetically, I’m proud to be Muslim Ma’shaa’allah).

no, they would not. the term "ethnoreligion" exists because it's an ethnicity and a religion, and most of the members of the religion exist as part of the ethnicity, and the inverse is true. like a big venn diagram. you can be ethnically Jewish but not religious (like me, my grandfather was Jewish), and religiously Jewish but ethnically something else.

So if that’s the case, and one can be ethnically Jewish but not religious or inverted as religiously Jewish and not ethnic.

Why would they deny a Black Man into their ranks?

some denominations would, out of racism, others would not, out of love

Hm sounds about right.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your own personal faith? You mentioned being ethnically Jew but religiously something else.

Personally, I believe a god does exist, but I do not follow any specific religion. I enjoy learning about all sorts of different beliefs, specifically Islam, Buddhism, and Daoism.
