Would a Muslim who was born Jewish be welcomed living in Arab countries?
Suppose a secular Jew who had Israeli relatives in occupied Palestine, full-heartedly converted to Islam and opposed Zionism and accepted all 5 pillars of Islam. The person became a Sunni Muslim but did not have a particular opposition to Shia teachings either. Would that person be able to live safe and with love in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Yemen, Tanzania, Algeria, Indonesia. Any of these countries? If the Jewish person converts to Islam and moves to a Muslim country, and accepts Muhammad as the Messenger of God, fasts on Ramadan, prays 5 times a day, gives to the poor, that person will be welcomed in all these countries? or not? and would that person be allowed to make the pilgrimage to Mecca? This is an important question if the answer is yes to ex-Jews who full-heartedly become Muslim. This would differ significantly from the WWII Europe sentiment which forbidded Jews to convert, nor to intermarry, nor to determine his/her own faith because it was decided by genes. One with a Jewish grandmother was pronounced Jewish regardless of his/her decision to be one This meant that for certain individuals, there was automatically no path to salvation

Islam doesn't differentiate between the different ethnicities of a Muslim convert. Islam is universal. But everyday muslims are on a different footing. Arab Muslims may dislike you, but non- arab muslims wouldn't. In general you will have no problem of being a Muslim, of Jewish heritage. .

Of course. Your a Muslim the same as any other. You have said your Shahada and your no less a Muslim than one born into a Muslim family... There are many other Jews who reverted to Islam they would not be the first nor the last. Of course they would be allowed to perform Hajj. No one is their Judge only ALLAH He knows a persons true intentions. I dont care if you worshiped the devil if you said your Shahada with a sincere heart and meant it your a Muslim to me my Ummah as any other.

there's a muslim extremist by the name of yossef khattab who was once an orthodox Jew from Queens NY. he lives in Palestine now and always runs his mouth about how "decadent" the west is. he seems to fit right in with the muslim extremists who accept him as a brother.
