Hundreds of people have died during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as the faithful faced intense high temperatures at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom.
“Jew” can refer a person’s religion, but can also be an ethnicity. “Islam” is a religion and not an ethnicity. I couldn’t give less of a shit if you make fun of the Jewish religion. Do it all you like. It’s a moronic religion.
So the religion of Islam? Yeah, I’ll mock it. Arab culture? Nigerian culture? Malaysian culture? No. I won’t mock that.
You don’t choose your ethnicity. You choose your religion.
When your knowledge of Islam is 2002 Fox News it would be a great idea to not type comments on the internet. Or at least get slightly informed beforehand because everything you are saying is comically stupid and actually incredibly racist.
Only able bodied people are commanded to make the Pilgrimage once in their lifetime. Nobody is commanded to die for it. Most of the deaths are unregistered people that did not pass a health check.
But this new mythical Atheist belief that God will let nobody that’s on God’s path die is incredibly weird.
When you read almost any religion you will find even the prophets, the people selected by God, had many hardships and many people died in battles and even of sicknesses. God did not give them an autowin and invincibility by being on his side. Would make for incredibly boring stories too.
I hate to break it to you but this definition of Jew it’s just a racist way to describe Eastern Europeans. Your ancestors were likely Ashkenazi Jews. Polish or Ukrainian or Romanian or Russian etc. Ashkenazim would be a way to describe yourself. Not “Jewish”, as you say you are not a Jew.
This is akin to conflating Muslims with Arabs. Very easy and convenient for people that don’t know better. Used to be true most of the time, but factually not correct. Many TV shows and Muslims self-described all Arabs as Muslims. In the 90’s and 2000’s nobody cared about using the correct naming for things and racist misnomers were fine. Larry David used to play religiously Jewish characters all the time he didn’t mind the trope.
But most people now understand these are not the same and 2000’s entertainment was not an accurate representation of reality. Just a racist one.
Again, good luck convincing people that Larry David, an atheist, is not a Jew.
Also, telling people they do not have the right of self-identity would be against our civility rules for me just as much as it would be for a trans person, so I would suggest this road would be a bad one for you to go down.

Jew is not an ethnicity. The “Jew as a race” was invented by the Nazis. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/are-jews-a-race/

Why do you think you get to define who I am?
