No worries. Leaves room for someone else.
If you're gonna stay away from every place that has had a terrorist attack you're gonna be confined to your house soon.

You're absolutely right. Should probably never visit London, New York, Barcelona, Paris or Sydney, eh?
Of course, be vigilant. But don't live your life in fear of these people.

Makes perfect sense - after all, if somewhere has never suffered a terrorist attack that means there's no way it can ever have one in the future.

True, but it is very unlikely if you check how many people with different religion than Catholic lives in Poland or different skin colour than white.

Ok, I'm going to back out of this conversation before it goes down a bad path. Enjoy Berlin, Krakow and wherever else anybody's going this winter, and let's hope everybopdy stays safe.

Yeah because London is just full of white people, right?! Honestly, the naivety is unreal.
JeremyM to JonBetts2004
7y 31d#18
No it's not, but Poland is and we can learn from latest history that where multiculti doesn't exists than terror attacks are more unlikely to happen.
JonBetts2004 to JeremyM
7y 31d#19
I misinterpreted your comment. I assumed you were saying terror attacks don't happen in multi-cultural societies. When in fact, you are saying that Poland has no terror attacks because it is just white Catholics living there! What can we learn from this? Are you saying that Hitler had the right idea?
News flash: most of the cities in Europe that have been targeted so far (London, Paris, Brussels, Nice, Berlin, etc) are popular tourist spots, therefore maximum exposure to the crimes, and more people affected by them. It's not hard to work out why Poland (as beautiful a country as it is), has not yet been targeted by terrorism.
JeremyM to JonBetts2004
7y 31d#20
I think you are going too far. Let's finish this conversation and accept the fact that we will see more terror attacks in Europe in the nearest future, if we like it or not (unfortunately).
JonBetts2004 to JeremyM

I'm merely using exaggeration to show you how ridiculous your comment was. But yes, let's leave it there.

Poland has:
A) refused to take it's quota of middle Eastern migrants, as demanded by Merkel.
B) a 0.1% Muslim population.
Completely dismissing that either of these are possible reasons as to why it's had no Islamic terrorist attacks is intellectually dishonest.

I can see your point, Poland has 0.1% of it's population identifying as Muslim. UK has 4.8%. Switzerland has 5%. Montenegro has 19%. Sweden has 5%. Slovenia 3.6%. Austria at a massive 8%.
Once you put some figures into this, we can see your Islamaphobia argument crumbling. The fact is, most muslim people just want to get on with life, just like most other people. The few incidents are thankfully few and far between. So stay at home, where you are statistically more likely to be killed in a random accident than enjoy a good, cheap holiday, after all we wouldn't want Britain's reputation to be damaged any further by people such as yourself.

Listing the percentage of Muslims in other European countries is not an argument against what I wrote in my first post, and neither is name calling.
It's a simple case of 'having more of a particular 'thing' means something is more likely to happen involving that particular 'thing', regardless of what that particular 'thing' is'. Not a very difficult concept to grasp.
Also, I'm fully aware a minute number of Muslims are jihadis, thanks.

It is for you as it appears, the data shows that there is "having more of a particular 'thing' as you have so eloquently put it, and there hasn't been more of a "particular 'thing'.
It isn't a difficult concept to grasp but seems to pass over you all the same. You can wrap it up in rhetoric and conjecture as much as you like, the data disproves your fantasy.

Genuine Christmas market with genuine fun relaxed atmosphere, unlike those overpriced substitutes in the UK

They will most probably not have the dates available and charge an admin and booking fee per person.

Went here a week after the attack there.
A beautiful place that wasn't dimmed by that event and absolutely worth a visit. Heat added all the way.
Also glad to see that idiots on HUKD, just like terrorists, will always be in a minority while the rest of us carry on making things better for others.
