blessed be upon you guys (by me lol)

i have plan to travelling around middle east, especially Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, and Israel. but since we all know that middle east is suffered with political turmoil (esp about ISIS), should i rethink my plan? i dont wanna get caught by ISIS and showed up in youtube video along with a black suit-creepy-masked guy next to me holding a knife to behead me :(

How to lead a happy life
1. Don't go to the middle east.

I'm joking, of course, but probly better to not go looking for trouble. And there are so many other places to go.

Turkey == Don't go to Southern Turkey - Ankara, Istabul are a tourist's delight.
Iran = Writ of govt. runs through out Iran, but really depends upon where you want to go. If you go to conservative cities like Qom, you might need to read about them and all the rules you need to follow, in order to not to offend "holy" men there.
Lebanon = Don't go to anywhere near South Lebanon. As long as you're in the region around Beirut and northern Lebanon, you're going to be safe. Even south Lebanon - Hezbollah and other Shi'ite factions are not known for kidnapping foreigners, but do proceed with caution.
Israel = Tel Avil, Haifa = No problem. West Jerusalem is okay. East Jerusalem is fine too, it's just that Israel army harasses the tourists visiting the Palestinian areas.

Best of luck. Just my 2 cents.

"Who really knows?
Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation?
The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen?"- Rig Veda, 10:129-6
