It's only hard for us to comprehend because we are fortunate enough to come from a more secularized Western culture. Imagine somebody from the middle-east abandoning Islam and either becoming another religion or an atheist. How easy would it be for him to throw off that middle-eastern identity? It would be virtually impossible.

Hummmm...is that possable?
What I mean is, you can be born to Jewish parents, but as the ethnic identity is based on a religious belief system, and you don't practice it, are you still Jewish?
Huh. Now I'm gonna wonder about that all day. An interesting puzzelment, good sir.

Hummm...I can see that. It's more a cultural carry over than an actual...drat, I guess I mean 'enthic' inheritance (Physical charactristics as it were) that is visible. I guess I'm thinking it's whats in the mind that counts.
Sorry, just the best why I can explain it.
