'These People Simply Cannot Stop Making One Mistake After Another'

According to a recent logic, my mother, and her parents, were not Jewish, as stated by Qasim Khan in response to Khawaja Asif's statement.
Qasim Khan's Critique
In a post on social media, Khan strongly disapproves of Khawaja Asif's remarks regarding Jewish identity. He argues that if Asif's logic holds true, then his mother and her parents were not Jewish, which he considers a staggering display of stupidity.
Khawaja Asif's Statement on Jewish Identity
The Defence Minister had previously stated that in traditional Jewish culture, identity is passed down through the mother, a concept known as matrilineal descent. He emphasized that if a person's mother is Jewish, they are considered Jewish, regardless of their father's faith. Asif explained that this tradition is rooted in the historical belief that maternal lineage was often more certain, while paternal lineage could be harder to verify without modern DNA testing.
