I think my sway is peope are quick to implicate current issues as being something sexual gone wrong or some random act out of the norm despite the facts which are reverberating across the globe and effecting almost all populations.

This issue seems to be regligious driven though underlying is just prejudice conceived from years of oppression, resentment and possible jealousy

So my stance is for all peeps to OPEN their EYEs and try to see it how the people who perpitrate these "Acts of Terror" as the media like to suggest are in their mindsets and thus understand the realisties of Travelling in countries not of their own.

If for example you take 400,000 active Iraqi soldiers and tell them there are no jobs for them and no place for them in the new Iraq and they are unable to pay for their families. Then they leave the country for Syria and are coerced and given identities and given a new fresh goal and icon to latch onto. This impedus reverberates across adjacent countries and throughout similarly oppressed and disgruntled peoples then perhaps with all this in mind and seeing Syria as it is currently being the Worlds worst global humanity crisis in history...

Then just perhaps one might have a more realistic understanding of travelling within any muslim country and its perils for "western infadel" as the media also depicts.

In realitiy the Western world has created this from the crusades and since their last crusade to Iraq to sort the country out!! and leaving has left somewhat of a mess and a void of anger amongst the Arab nations who i am sure willl not tolerate any such invasion in future.

The anger is building and any traveller should have their eyes open to this whether their religious, political or naive

These are my thoughts on the matter and beleive you wil see more issues arise for travellers in the futrure as the youth decide to take matters into their own hands as previous elders have failed in their eyes etc...

The Globalisation, overpopulation and divide from Rich/poor is only going to exasperate matters in the future.
