Americans who are afraid of the Middle East in general should probably consider that they're more likely to be killed in some of their own city streets than they would as an informed, respectful tourist in many of these foreign countries. No, we don't deal with mortar attacks and car bombings every day . . . but in the "land of the free" we live in fear of muggings, car-jackings, and shootings.

Some Muslims would get incensed that you are making a mockery of their religion and probably bomb the place lol.

that could present an opportunity to incorporate that recurring feature into one of the thrill rides. perhaps even open an adjacent park for terrorists (of all denominations) much like the old West World movie starring Richard Benjamin and Yul Brenner
I would visit Turkey over all of them, but since you didn't include it:
The only ones I have a burning desire to see in my lifetime are Egypt and Israel/Palestine. If I have time I will see Jordan/Syria and if it's safe, Iran. If there are any ancient ruins left in Iraq I would see them, obviously long after the war is over and the dust has settled. Perhaps also Yemen and Dubai to see the Burj. Saudi Arabia seems interesting just to see how different the strict Muslim culture is - but I a little wary of going to a country where homosexuals are executed in public with swords, ala Medieval style.
I've been there,Turkey as far as i know it's a Europasian cuuntry.
And I'd visit Yemen,it looks interesting esp. the buildings.
