Here’s a simple statement for you: if you believe Jesus is your messiah, then you are Christian, and you are not practicing Judaism. Very simple.

Koestler's book is crap. He could have cited real sources like Dunlop, instead the Hungarian communist cherry picked hacks and old encyclopedias to peddle a theory which was historicaly inaccurate, and was laughable on a linguistic and documentary level when written. Though popular among Hungarian Jews (it would make them "true Hungarians" since one of the 9 Hungarian tribes, the Khabars, were dissident Khazars), communists, and other anti-Zionists, the theorgy has been disproven by genetics. Take a look at www.khazaria.com for links to actual studies.
I may be part Khazar, but most Ashkenazim are not. The only Turkic Jews are the Karaylar (Crimean Tatar Karaites) and the dozen or so remaining Krimchaks (Tatar Rabbinate Jews).

Thanks for the reply and the link. I’d prefer not to make a fool of myself by citing fairy tales as facts. That habit undercuts one’s credibility when talking about the most important historical facts — the giving of the law on Sinai, and the resurrection of a certain first=century rabbi.
