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.

//just how many British tourists have been killed in terrorist incidents abroad?;//

It’s not just about British tourists. People from all over the world are affected.

[spathiphyllum]

Yeah but we only hear what the media tell us. Why would the british media report on random people going to random countries to have random nutters commit random acts of violence in the name of some random god?

The media is a for profit organisation. British victim = the only thing that matters.

[Spicerack]

To & fro, spath. Would anyone go sailing off the Horn of Africa?

[naomi24]

spath, don't be ridiculous. The media isn't making it up when it reports mass slaughter by these maniacs.

[spathiphyllum]

No because everyone knows about Somali pirates.

"The media isn't making it up when it reports mass slaughter by these maniacs."

I never said they're making it up. I implied it's selective reporting. If you think that's not the case, then.. well.. Fair.

Troublemakers aren't allowed to have an Avatar, Bain. ;-)
Have you tried to get one?

[naomi24]

spath, what selective reporting? Is Sri Lanka selective reporting?

/// can we get back to the rather stupid question: ///

/// are islamic countries like Ceylon [which is not islamic] safe to go to ? ///

It is you and not the question that is stupid.

The question was:

***Is Any Islamic Country Now Safe To Visit?***

I should change your username if I were you.

'Pedantic' you are certainly not.

[Spicerack]

But you've got more chance of getting killed by a wasp than Somali pirates, spaf.
See how it works.

Spath
You have displayed a level of ignorance on this thread that is hardly believable.
You wrote this
//I think he'll have a specific idea or target in mind, if not then he's a raving loony randomly killing anyone and everyone, in which case, no one is safe, not residents, not tourists.

Dramatic overload. Woi///

You scoff at that and call it //Dramatic overload.Woi//

You then later admitted that you had NEVER heard of the Tunisian beach masscre where 22 British tourists were killed ,as described by you as .a random loony randomly killing anyone and everyone.in which case,no one is safe, not residents,not tourists.
That,as you described,was what actually happened.
I supplied you the Fact that it happened. It was not emotion and it wasn't born out of ignorance either.

/// Hey retro, what % of people die annually in the entire world from terrorist related incidents? ///

You might as well ask what is the chance of being stabbed in London compared to in your village?

[Zacs-Master]

Ooooph, yeah, don't try to bring facts and figures into an argument on here. Bad form.

Is this selective reporting Spath? I bet you didn't know this site exists. Still happy to travel to Sri Lanka against expert and informed advice?

"spath, what selective reporting? Is Sri Lanka selective reporting?"

I think it speaks for itself. Do you read Srilankan news often, do you?

[spathiphyllum]

"You might as well ask what is the chance of being stabbed in London compared to in your village?"

Why on earth would I do that.. What relevance does it have?
