Is Any Islamic Country Now Safe To Visit?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/26/sri-lanka-faces-financial-blow-uk-holidaymakers-cancel-trips.

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.

Best not, chances are i'll get blown up or shot on a beach..

Never has the saying, 'Fools enter where Angels fear to tread' been more true.
Caution and common sense keep you alive not Bravado and B.S.

Spath
Your answers are now bordering on downright disrespectful,ignorant ,odious and crass. Take a day off will ya.You are a wind up troll.
I will post a picture later of a wooden memorial bench outside my local Sainsburys. It is dedicated to Mrs Jan and John Stocker who worked there and a very nice couple. I knew Mrs Stocker well as did my two sons.Had they known the dangers in dvance they would not of gone to Tunisia as they obviously had more sense than you.

[spathiphyllum]

Yeah.. i don't know who these people are, and i'm just commenting on the link in the article?

Sorry you're upset about these people, but don't take that out on me.

I've no idea who they are, or what happened, until your Tunisian post.

I'm not a wind up troll, you're just sensitive about opinions that differ from yours. You calling me a wind up troll, is you yourself, begin a wind up troll.

Take a day off retro, you're obviously too sensitive about these people for a discussion about the topic at hand. Personal emotion gettign in the way of discussion.

SLanka is/will be a blood bath as they dont want their tourism to fold. Its a beautiful country, known as 'the pearl of the east'. How long it will take to recover is anyones guess.

A visit from Wills or Harry might allay fears. Our Royals have their uses. No, send Charles & Cams

[Prudie]

Had you really not heard of the Tunisian beach massacre before spath???

[maggiebee]

Maybe he only reads The Beano Prudie.

[spathiphyllum]

Magggie maybe i actually get out and don't spend all my life being told what to think by the media?

Yes prudie, only just heard about it.

[ichkeria]

It goes without saying that if you knew the danger you wouldn’t go.
That’s life tho: we trundle along until something bad happens and then we react after the event.
Some people actually seek danger out on purpose tho not usually package holiday tourists.

[Prudie]

Have to say for someone who has opinions on such a wide range of topics I'm flabbergasted that you haven't heard of that - it was all over the news for days and destroyed the Tunisian tourist industry for a long time. UK holiday companies immediately stopped going there, it was only 4 years ago.

[spathiphyllum]

Most of the news i hear of is on AB.... Honestly.

I wasn't as active 4 years ago as i am now.

[Peter Pedant]

[spathiphyllum]

[spathiphyllum]

Prudie

Yes. Only 22 fellow Britains killed on a Tunisian beach Prudie and Spath feels he is qualified to gob off about the safety of travelling anywhere broad when the News of this tragedy has not yet reached his village. Makes me wonder how ill informed he is of other matters in the outside world but spouts his rubbish quite freely on this site.
