Is it safe to holiday in Muslim countries now?


Recommended Posts

If you wear the correct robes you can pass through the airports totally unchallenged.

 

there is a clear distinction between airports in the rich Gulf countries and airports like Sharm el Sheikh where they let the bomb on the Russian charter jet last year. I transit through Dubai and Abu Dhabi often, and the security is as good or better than it is in Europe. I've often seen covered women led away to be searched. This idea that if you wear Islamic clothing or the 'correct robes' (LOL) then you don't have to worry about being searched at airports, or at least top-level world class airports like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, is total nonsense.

BTW More than 93% of the population of Cape Verde is nominally Roman Catholic, according to an informal poll taken by local churches. About 5% of the population is Protestant.

The Philippines is just Muslim families fighting with Christian ones and it isn't really religious. It's tribal and like Israel/Palestine. God hasn't got a right lot, to with it.

There are only 2 possibilities.

God doesn't exist.

the Philippines and Mindanao is this 400 year old tribal soap opera everyone is familiar with - it's goons, guns, gold, and girls. Whoever wins the battle uses some of the money to build a pathetic little children's playground for the kids.

 

just occasionally these modernist trendy Islamist outsiders, who say they hate modernity and want to go back to this 7th century Islamic caliphate, but who nevertheless log into Facebook every day, come in wearing a suicide belt and waving an ISIS flag, who upset the balance and nobody, especially not the established Muslim families, really like them. They are not welcome.

God hasn't got anything to do with any religious violence. He doesn't exist.
