Emile, the difference between Jews and the like of you, is that we accept racial diversity, a Jew is a Jew if his mother was Jewish, not his Father (Mind you that Talmud does indeed recognizes the sorry fact that it is extremely difficult to be 100% sure who the father was, including Jesus' Father, it is a question of principle, you can see where the newborn is coming from, but in 99,999% of the cases, no one is there to witness the fathers' involvement.
If you bring the Khuzars into the picture, please, go and read "The Khuzari" by Yehuda Halevy, it was written much closer to the events (in the early 12th century) than the speculations you bring to the table. If you knew anything about Judaism, you would have known that "Guers" (converts to Judaism) have earned all the rights and promises that the almighty promised to Abraham. As a matter of fact, that is one reason it is so difficult to convert to Judaism. You for one, would never be "admitted" (and thus you will of course forgo God's promises to Abraham, shame on you, a fate worse than dying without "salvation" and this comes with a very big VBG). Now, if you insist and would after all want to convert to Judaism, let me know, I may be able to find a Rabbi who is less scrupulous than most to teach you the essence of Judaism (without those learnings, you are out of contention) and then I may influence him (with the help of my powerful "Influential Jews" to grant you admission. Of course, you will have to undergo circumcision. I have a very good friend that decided at the mature age of 50 to convert to Judaism, and believe me, the cutting part, so he tells me, was not pleasant.
