Answer 1

I would wait a few months if I were you my dear MK.

Israel is one of the top five (5) most dangerous destinations of our planet.

At least that's what Forbes publications state in a recent (2007-2008) poll.

There is absolutely no one that can guarantee to you a safe stay.

I am not talking of course of those dangers that exist anywhere in the world.

I am talking of the ones that are generated in Israel and maintained for over our last fifty years.

In any case, I wish you good luck on your decision.

Greetings

Answer 2

You will not have any major problems. You may expirience a bit more stringent security check but this is unlikely. besides this you won't have any problem. If you can easily obtain a document proving that your mother is Jewish it might help. But like I said you will not have any major problems at all. Relax and come visit us. You will see that Israel is beautiful country and regardless of all our problems for tourists it is one of the most magic places on earth. You will not regret your trip. Oh, as an American you don't need visa to enter Israel

Answer 3

You're not going to be the first guy in Israel with a muslim name I can assure you that. As long as you don't cause any trouble you shouldn't have a problem and if your mother is Jewish then you're Jewish and you can even get a citizenship.

Answer 4

Why should you have problems,

i'm sure there are lots of ppl with muslim names in Israel

Answer 5

you will be very welcome in israel.

with a usa passport you will not need a visa.

plus many israeli's have muslim sounding family names

under the jewish law, you are jewish if your mother is jewish.

i am sure you will love this great country

have fun

Answer 6

noooo,, ho people undestanddd israel have no problems with muslimss!!



it is ok, in israel, if your mother is jewish so you are jewish too!!



so i dont think you should be worried about your name...

Answer 7

Why should you have a problem? As long as you have a valid US Passport, and a visa (not sure about Israel's laws in obtaining one), you won't have a problem at all.

Answer 8

One thing is fer sure: You won't have no troubles not visiting israel.

How about that for an answer?

No mister, just you stay right were you're at and everything will be just fine.

Why won't you wait up a coupla years and see what happens in isra-el?

Answer 9

That is a VEry interesting mix

Answer 10

you'd be welcome as any other tourist.

you'll get used to the security checks at airports ,malls,restaurants and basically every public place.it's a daily routine for us israelis.

enjoy your stay :)

Answer 11

MK

I agree with you. It worth thinking. A Muslim name in the States is a problem. Imagine how it is in Israel?

Answer 12

You shouldn't.

Answer 13

good luck!!
