    its whatever she defines herself as, identity is personal, its about who we identify ourselves with. this is another fight i had with mum, she called me a south australian and i retorted that i wasnt, i was a victorian. she said i wasnt because i had been living in SA for 5 years, i said thats crap because if i moved to the US for 5 years i would still be australian.

    time, parents might HELP us establish an identity but in the end its about how you see yourself

    She would be considered Muslim by Islam and Jewish by Orthodox and Conservative Jews (and by the State of Israel).*

    Why?

    If your mother is Jewish, by Jewish tradition you are Jewish.

    So she falls under Halacha laws? If she marries a Muslim man, her children will be Jewish?

    I think they would be the same as her. If a Jewish woman married a Catholic she would have to go through this while rig-a-ma-role of converting and giving up her previous faith. Is that how it is with the Islamic faith?

    Depends, most intermarriage couples I know have not converted. Our churches and qadis will go along with it.
