You believe in what you believe. There's a difference between religion and race/ethnicity.
Religion-wise, you can't be 1/2 Jewish and 1/2 Christian. If you believe in Christ, and that he is the Son of God, you are not Jewish. But if your ancestry comes from the Jewish culture, then that would have nothing to do with religion.
Of course, Jesus was Jewish, so does that make all Christians 1/2 Jewish? Is that a catch 22? or 1/2 1/2?

Judaism is different from other religions because it is also a race of sorts. Being Jewish, really could mean two different things. Anyone can CONVERT to Judaism and become "Jewish." But being Jewish can also mean that you were born into a lineage of Israelites. So, it is actually possible to be both Jewish (in the sense you were born Jewish) and Christian. Christianity is not a race of any sort, so you can't be half Christian. Islam is probably somewhere in between the two.

No, there is no such thing as half christian and half Muslim. This is due to the fact that each religion has different belief.
However, it could be defined as mother is christian and father is Muslim in that case the child has to adopt one of the religions no both and live a life stating I am half christian and half Muslim.
Muslims Koran preaches different things they believe if they convert any other religion into a Muslim they go to heaven, in which that is not true because entering heaven is based on what you plant on earth. Meaning, you plant the good you harvest the good and you will be rewarded based on your good heart and vice versa. You are a free soul God gave you this life to live as you want and do whatever you wish. However, EVERYONE HAS A JUDGMENT DAY AND THAT DAY IS AFTER DEATH.

Yea sure they can. They can believe only some of the things that the religion says and not all of it....but Rob Schneider I believe was referring to the race of Jewish people...not the religion.

It doesn't matter what anybody else tells you or what you've heard. You can be whatever you choose to be. You are the creator of your life. If Rob Schneider wants to be half christian and half muslim, then he can be if he chooses to be.

To be Muslim is to believe there is no God worthy of worship but God. Jesus is his Prophet but God has no partners and no sons or daughters. Simply put you can not be 1/2 Muslim you are or you aren't.
As I understand it being Christian is the same Either you believe Jesus is God or you don't.
Also I believe his reference to being half Jewish is a reference to someones heritage not their religion. As in one parent was Jewish.

Islam is a complete way of life. If you want to win in both the world you have to completely enter Islam. Thare is no half chance to survive in Islam. And i don't know about the other religion much.

Probably. It's not unheard of so anything is possible. Especially if you have one parent that is Christian and one that is Muslim and the child was brought up with both religions. Hence half Christian and half Muslim.

Being Jewish is a race and a religion. Being Christian & Muslim is only a religion, so you can't be "half".
