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.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The British government is now advising against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka which is sad because it’s a beautiful country inhabited in the main by Buddhists. Since many of the atrocities committed by Islamists are committed in countries that are not Islamic safety can’t be guaranteed anywhere.
Naomi, perhaps you should simply have said safety can't be guaranteed anywhere, it never has been. Spicerack and bednobs, yes indeed, the same fierce (sometimes quite acrimonious) discussions between the same people of opposite views. If/when one side stops, will the other ? I somehow doubt it (regardless of which were to or one might think might stop first).

I rarely visit AB anymore because the community that was once gentle has become horrible and the agenda dominated by fake far right sites.
But I had to laugh at AOGs question and its total ignorance of religion in Sri Lanka.
The truth is that people are safe in any country. There have been attacks in Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Bhuddist countries, but they are not common or the norm.
Terrorists attacking any country, their main objective is to damage the rulers of that country, not the victims.
