Is Any Islamic Country Now Safe To Visit?

I Googled "Is Sri Lanka safe for tourists"?

And came up with this:

/// The good news is that Sri Lanka is a remarkably safe place to travel in, and violent crime against foreigners is virtually unheard of – this is still a place where, despite 25 years of brutal civil war, in parts of the country the theft of two bicycles is considered a crime wave. ///

How times have changed.

//When Muslims get killed in Islamic terror attacks//

Then perhaps Muslims would be wise to distance themselves from Islam?

[naomi24]

aog, if they did that they wouldn't be Muslims.

[Spicerack]

Of course there's a difference but that doesn't negate the fact that all Islamic terrorists are Muslims.

//When Muslims are killed in terrorist attacks the attackers regard that as dying for the cause. It’s irrelevant to them. Life is cheap.//

//Believe it or not human life is worthless to a terrorist//

Once again we nearly agree Naomi, like it or not!

(getting a bit worried myself;-)

Precisely.

[1ozzy]

Doesn't negate the fact that all people are human either,

but,

sometimes I wonder,,,,

[naomi24]

//Once again we nearly agree Naomi, like it or not! //

I've never mentioned liking it or not. I think you'll find that's always you, 1ozzy.

[naomi24]

aog, would you relinquish your faith?

[andres]

No country is safe now from Islamic terrorist attacks.
The terrorists have one aim and that is for the religion of ISLAM to rule the world.

[tamborine]

And some so called terrorists ie the Christchurch shooter, are actually crusaders seeking vengeance for their radicalised dead friends/brothers. Why else was he welcomed into the mosque with "hello brother" especially dressed in fatigues & carrying an automatic weapon?

/// aog, would you relinquish your faith? ///

You could also say faith in ones Political Party????

Due to their recent actions many have, so what's the difference?

[naomi24]

aog, //You could also say faith in ones Political Party???? //

I could say that but I didn't. You suggested Muslims distance themselves from Islam and I asked if you would relinquish your faith.

I see more British people are holidaying in Indonesia, the world’s largest Moslem country

Relinquish Islam- Death Penalty
Be non-Islamic- Jizya/de facto Death Penalty

Hey, I wonder could that have anything to do with the dozen countries that have a 99% Islamic population.

[anotheoldgit]

I ask all these Muslim/Islamic protectionists.

If there was a conflict in this country between Islam and the British people, who would our Muslim population side with?

[tamborine]

I warn muslims, this will rise again & your ottoman will remain a sofa.....lol

If I saw the same atrocities which we have all seen carried out on behalf of the Islamic faith, carried out in the name of Christianity then why not?

But then I have not got a strong religious faith to relinquish, all I know is the fact that Christianity is a more tolerant and caring religion than Islam has been shown to be.

Just compare a Christian country as this is, to any Islamic country.

I can only wonder why.

Warnings & Dangers in Indonesia

Indonesia is mostly a safe country to travel to, though it still has its dangers from natural disasters to terrorism and petty theft. Be very cautious on the streets of Indonesia and plan your trip carefully.

TERRORISM RISK : HIGH

There is a high risk of this country being targeted for a terrorist attack. Recent ones involved suicide bombings and small-arms fire. The last one was performed on May 24th 2017 when there were bomb explosions at the Kampung Melayu bus station in east Jakarta, killing three police officers.

WOMEN TRAVELERS RISK : MEDIUM

Indonesia is not the safest for solo female travelers. There is the risk of getting unwanted attention or even the risk of sexual assaults toward women. Avoid parts of cities that are filled with bars and clubs, and visiting them alone, since there is a higher chance of running into intoxicated people.

Maybe the UK is becoming less safe for travellers too? When it comes to hate crimes it would seem that we are not white as the driven snow.

One reason may be the certainty over Brexit, which has led to a fall in holidays to EU destinations.
Also maybe many people don’t realise Indonesia is Moslem, just like some think Sri Lanka is :-)
