no matter what, he is jewish…
I don’t know about that. Something tells me this “Muslim father, Jewish mother; raised Muslim” story is not exactly accurate.
Most of the muslims of Albania don’t care about islam or any religion.
Why would it be? He has said:
“I grew up in an immigrant family. My mother’s, like, a hippy, white woman; Jewish from Brooklyn. She’s the illest ever. My father’s off-the-boat Albanian. So, it’s a crazy mixture.”

And his birth name is Ariyan Arslani, not Arian Asllani.
