According to the New Testament, Jesus was Jewish. I am amused by the person who said he was Jewish not in religion, but in race, as "Jewish" isn't a race. Culture, yes, ethnicity? Nope. And if Jesus wasn't Jewish in religion, then most of his arguments made no sense, since he basically preached straight Judaism. Originally his preachings were aimed at the Jews, but when they didn't see him as the messiah, his followers took his teaching "on the road" to the people who didn't know about Judaism, and didn't know the messianic prophecies, but I digress...
IF Jesus lived at all, and wasn't merely a mythological figure, he was most likely Jewish. Christianity is the faith that sprung up in his name after his death.

How to Unite a Jew and a Christian
The Jews do not believe in Jesus's prophethood because he did not save himself from the cross {Deuteronomy 21:22-23}.
This belief has caused the split between the children of Abraham to this day.
The Christians believe Jesus died for our sins, and is a 1/3 of God. Also, abolishment of the Law of Moses (Acts 13:39).
This has caused a major difference between the Jews and Christians for centuries, escalating conflicts have occurred between the 2 (ie. Catholic Hitler).
What would it take to bring them together (ie. Peace)? What if a Book told the Jews, Jesus was the "word" of God, and was saved from the cross?
"That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah" But they killed him not, Nor crucified him. Only a likeness of that Was shown to them.
And those who differ Therein are full of doubts, With no (certain) knowledge. But only conjecture to follow, For surety They killed him not." (Koran 4:157)

What if a Book told the Christians that God is 1 without partners, we are all responsible for our Own sins, and that the Law of Moses is not to be Abolished.
What if That Book is verified by both Jews and Christians to be from God. Click Here for Verification of the Qur'an One of two things would happen.
1. They would unite in Submission to God as all the previous prophets (ie. Islam)
2. They would not want to be told they are wrong (ie. Jews, Christians)
"Humankind was one single nation. And Allah sent Messengers With glad tidings and warnings; And with them Allah sent The Book in truth, to judge between people In matters wherein They differed" (Qur'an 2:213)
Below is a Picture of Adolf Hitler, He had over 100,000 Christian Nazi Followers and still has many admirers today.
Let us Open our Eyes and Realize that the Christians and Muslims and Jews are all from One Creator, those who do not create mis-chief will be the Great Winners.
"The Evil One has got the better of them: so he has made them lose the remembrance of Allah. They are the Party of the Evil One. Truly, it is the Party of the Evil One that will perish!" {Qur'an 58:19 }
The Qur'an is Here, Peace upon All .

Since he founded a religion, then I guess he'd be a member of it. Being an extension of Judaism doesnt make Jesus a Jew.

Jesus was Jewish, but not in the terms of religion. It's his RACE. There's so many misconceptions about that. Just use your common sense. Can God have a religion?

Jewish. The people that follow him are the Christians. Basically, Christianity is a offshoot of Judaism.
