[edit] Jew? Anglican?

The following comment, claiming to be by his sister, was left in the main Wikipedia space at Category:Scottish Jews. I have moved the comment to that Talk page, but I thought that editors of this article ought to be aware of it:

"How can David Knopfler be considered a Scottish Jew when his mother was (and still) is an English Anglican?! I wish you would take this off, as all the Jew Hate sites have his name up. Ruth Kennedy (his sister) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.69.35.146 (talk • contribs) 16:39, 25 August 2006"

I will add him to the English, and Anglican, cats too in the meantime. Thanks. --Mais oui! 08:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, upon reflection, I am going to remove him from the religion cat. We do not have any referenced evidence that either Judaism or Anglicanism are notable elements in his life. Admittedly the Jews cats are not just about religion, but also about ethnicity/culture, but if this is going to be contentious we had better remove it altogether. --Mais oui! 08:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
