You don't need to do anything of the sort for customs and immigration officials in America to panic. They're a fidgety bunch, and your greatest mistake may be to have a 'Muslim' name.
This happened to my parents, surgeons in their late 50s who travelled together visiting family in the UK and Canada having no trouble. My dad (having a name that is pretty Christian) passed immigration at the Canada/US border just fine. My mum (having a name that is pretty Muslim) had her immigration official's computer stop working and she was detained for hours. They did let my dad join her, so I guess we should be thankful for that. They had exactly the same itinerary and were eventually released with no explanation.
So excuse me if I don't buy the idea that you have to antagonize people.
