Problem, Ashkenazi traditional language is Yiddish, a Germanic language. They've been in Europe a LONG time, their ethnogenesis as a people was fully realized within Europe. I'd say they're European, but saying they're one or the other is an extreme oversimplification of the complex history and ethnic affiliations of the Ashkenazim...
but for the most part, I'd say yes, they are.
Also, the Khazar theory is just a speculation and somewhat sound, just because they don't have mongoliform influence doesn't mean some Ashkenazim have some genetics with the Khazars. Plus, speculating the phenotype of the Khazars, and indeed all middle age/migration period Turkic and Central Asian nomads is a tough call, seeing as they all heavily mixed with surrounding populations.
Last time I checked, Christianity and Judaism are from the same place, and are quite similar. In fact, half of your book is THEIR doctrine.
