Would you tell your Muslim Egyptian Uber Driver you’re Jewish?

This evening I got an Uber and struck up a conversation with my driver. He told me he was Egyptian and without even thinking I said “oh me too!” (My dad is from Egypt and moved here in the 60s.) He asked if I spoke Arabic and I said no. When he asked why not even though my dad is fluent, I was nervous to give my usual answer of “my dad resents his Arabic since the Jews kind of got kicked out of egypt.” I felt like I shouldn’t say I was Jewish so I just said I don’t know why he never spoke to us in Arabic.

I know we shouldn’t make assumptions about people based on their religion nor ethnicity, but do you think I would be jeopardizing my safety in any way had I said I was Jewish?
