      @Ahmed Baluch Jew is the nationality. Christian - is the religion. You can be an Jewish Christian or Arabic Christian. Christianity is in conflict with Judaism (and always has been), not with Jewish people: even Jesus Christ as a human was Jew, and His Most Holy Mother was Jewish, and Apostles and first martyrs too.
