Since Ashkenazi Jew is German, if his child has a Muslim or non-Ashkenazi Jew mother is the child bi-racial?

Answer 1

Only if the child's parents are of different races. The child is certainly multi-ethnic; he may even be a product of a bi-religious household, but he isn't bi-racial unless his parents are of two different races. Jews and Muslims both are groups of people from many different races bound by common religions and cultures -- they do not make up two different races of people.

Ashkenazim aren't just German; the Ashkenazi culture is comprised of German, Hungarian, Polish, Russian and other Eastern European elements.

If the father is Ashkenazi and the mother is Sephardi, the child is Jewish and not likely biracial as Sephardim are of Mediterranean (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian) background (I don't believe that the two are acknowledged as racially different; I might be wrong).

If the father is Ashkenazi and the mother is Mizrahi (Middle Eastern/North African Jewish), the child is Jewish and likely biracial.

If the father is Ashkenazi and the mother is Muslim or of another faith, the child is not Jewish under Jewish law but may be raised according to which ever religion the parents choose. He may or may not be biracial.

You could probably stand to do a little research on Judaism and the Jewish people. Good luck.

Answer 2

Both Judaism and Islam are religions. Germans and Ashkenazi are not races. German is a nationality, and Ashkenazi would be referred to as an ethnicity.

So, no, the child isn't.

Answer 3

Why this obsession with race and religion? Judaism and Islam are religions, not races. They are more common with certain peoples, and Judaism is definitely also considered a cultural group. I've known agnostics and atheists who still consider themselves Jewish, although I don't know how well that would go over with the Orthodox crowd.

Since you could be German and a Muslim and even Asian, your question doesn't make much sense. Two Jews of whatever sect could both be of the same race, or they can be of different races. Same with Muslims, same with Germans. Race is not at all tied with either religion or country, although certain races tend to be from certain countries or ethnicities.
