Yes, but Sr. converted to Islam for the purpose of marrying either his 1st or 2nd wife. Whereas in Judaism, “Once a Jew, always a Jew”, not sure if that holds up in Christianity…since they’re not an “ethnicity” as Jews are (using that word loosely, of course).

So assuming Sr’s son considers himself Muslim, then according to Islamic Patrilineal descent, Omar is indeed considered a Muslim by Muslims; a Jew by Jews. And so, it’s really up to him which identity he wants to follow.

That his parents were divorced soon after his birth, might shed some light on which school of thought he learned better!

Omar Sharif comes from a Catholic Lebanese family originally so I imagine his son and Omar Jr’s father is also Christian and not Muslim. Christians in Egypt comprise 10% of population and in a country of 70 million that’s a lot of Christians especially for an Arab country. Nevertheless, Omar Jr would be considered Jewish.

Gay people are becoming more and more accepted and welcomed by the larger society in many parts of the world. This may cause you some discomfort, but don’t despair, Shy Guy. It gets better.
