Is every guy named Al having this done? Everyone with an Arab name? Every Kim? I can see their point if the name matched, but yours is similar so you’re guilty and YOU have to prove otherwise. Is this Soviet Russia?

The problem is that there is no single way to transliterate names in languages like Arabic and Russian, so asking for an exact match is impractical. Even for English, codes like Soundex are commonly used to deal with variant spellings.
