Q. Are missionaries a problem in Israel?
A. Yes. An increasing number of Christian missionary groups - most of them based in the United States - have targeted the Israeli Jewish population for conversion, and “Jews for Jesus”-type churches now exist in every large Israeli population center. There are over one hundred such institutions and ministries in Israel today.

There are American Muslims, French Muslims, British Muslims and so forth so you can’t really prevent those Muslims from proselytizing in their own countries, unless you assume that Muslims living in the west only originate from Muslim countries and that of course would be a silly assumption.
But let’s be honest here, Israel allows this type of freedom to Christian missionaries only because a enormous chunk of American donations to Israel come from this community.
