This is not, of course, because Iraq has a high crime rate. It is because of Islamic jihad.
“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).
“Level 4 ‘Do not travel’ warning issued for Middle Eastern country, kidnappings among concerns,” by Matt Durr, MLive.com, June 12, 2025:
WASHINGTON — The State Department says Americans should not travel to Iraq for any reason as part of a Level 4 travel advisory issued Wednesday, June 11. The advisory notes the agency has already ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Iraq as tensions in the region rise.
“U.S. citizens in Iraq face high risks, including violence and kidnapping. Terrorist and insurgent groups regularly attack Iraqi security forces and civilians. Anti-U.S. militias threaten U.S. citizens and international companies,” reads a portion of the warning.

The advisory states terrorism attacks can occur in major cities at any time and may involve improvised explosive devices, indirect fire, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The warning says those who choose to go to Iraq should not travel near armed groups or Iraq’s northern borders due to:
Continued threat of attacks by terrorist groups.
Armed conflict.
Aerial bombardment.
Civil unrest.
Visitors are also warned not to travel through Iraq to engage in armed conflict in Syria. The Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq has threatened that anyone caught illegally crossing the Iraq-Syria border faces up to 10 years in prison.U.S. government personnel remaining in Iraq to live and work are required to use armed security and are prohibited from using Baghdad International Airport over safety concerns….

This is applicable to travel to any of the 50+ Islamic Countries due to Islam’s discrimination, violence, and terrorism against all Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.).
Allah’s hateful Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise and a Murderous Cult, and its Believers, Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.), continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, genocide, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran. Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam functions as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15 etc.).
Allah’s demoniacal Islam, a hateful Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, discrimination, and tyrannical violence(Quran 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7 and more).
Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a Crime against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:208,216; 4:65, 89,95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

“State Department says Americans should not travel to Iraq for any reason”
Of course the unwritten/unspoken truth is that this doesn’t apply to muslims living in America. As for the rest of us, who of us that are in our right mind would go there? If you have an itch to travel go to Italy, Japan, or just check out all kinds of things right here in your home, the USA.

Now there is some truth for you. Why in the hell would you or anyone want to go to a muslim/islamic country? I know for the most its money.
