[quote=Anonymous]No- for example  there are a TON of arab christians- especially in NOVA, also in a small town in the Middle east called Bethlehem, lots and lots of gabs who Christian. .  Also- persian Jews. I personally know a Pakistani guy who's grandfather converted to Christianity i think in the early 20th century. Ive met a Druze guy who was Iraqi, I also met a lot of Copts (Christians) in Egypt.  I recently had a Muslim ethiopian uber driver- I always thought Ethiopians are Christian. Ethnicity is not the same as religion always. Madeline Albright is ashkenazi but she is also Episcopalian,  My brother in law's aunt comes from a family of Romans who until WW2 were Jewish but they all converted to Catholicism during the war and still consider themselves Catholic in faith but Jewish Romans ethnically.  
The USA is especially ash with ppl who are minorities ethnically and religiously b/c of the draw of the 1st amendment. I know for a fact that this is why my parents moved here in the 1970s.  or them it was actually an economic hardship but they moved here to practice their religion freely. [/quote]
