If you interpret the Bible as Jews have interpreted it for the past
1000 or so years (and maybe before that), non-Jews are only required
to follow those 7 laws (known as the 7 laws of the children of
Noah).  However, If you are interpreting the Jewish way, you have to
count as Jewish every person born of a Jewish woman (and a Jewish
woman is one who's mother was Jewish, etc on down the line).
