For all practical purposes, this already exists. The average middle class Arab, no matter his political or religious leanings, has approximately zero chance of receiving a tourist or business visa for the United States regardless of his bonafides. Even when he is granted such a visa, he is then subjected to the NSEERS system. In fact, even if said Arab has long since become a Canadian or British or Australian citizen - he will still be considered an NSEERS candidate simply because he was born in that country.

If you consider your religious faith to be Jewish, then fill out the form as such.

If Qatar chooses to deny you a visa on those grounds, then do you really want to associate with Qatar? Why force yourself to travel to a country where you are obviously not welcome. There is an entire world out there for you to travel to instead - enjoy it. It is their loss, not yours.
