I wish that some of the Israeli airport security officers would take this into account the next times I will fly to/from Israel. Seems they don't care much about many other stamps in my passport (even not other Islamic countries) but somehow all the Turkey stamps always raises lots of questions upon departure from TLV!
But that's just a minor hassle though - and I can obviously understand their point of view
