Interesting Ahmed - tourism I know is a growing industry in the UAE - but one terrorist attack would be very harmful - and I'm sure Al Qaeda don't like you guys very much with your "westernized" lifestyle (whatever that exactly means).

What your saying is true, but hey, thats true to any other country also. If there were any terrorism attacks to be made, they wouldve been made long back. Thats IMO

Sure Ahmed, I for one would love to visit your amazing country and I don't think there is any more risk travelling there than in Europe, the US, or Australia and Asia. But I probably would feel a bit scared to travel in Iran, Syria, or even Saudi Arabia - I don't think they like westerners very much.

Roberto,

I'm not sure how it is in countrys such as Syria and Saudi Arabia but I can try to explain the situation in iran to you since both my parents are from Iran. When there was a revolution in Iran in 1979 plenty of iranians moved to the U.S. since they didn't like the new regime. Today many iranians still want to move so that they too can live a more liberate life but for many of them it isn't possible, so they try to live as they could have done in the U.S. in Iran. Therefore the people itself is very liberate (unlike the reactionary government) and when the iranian habitants meet European ppl they treat them with a lot of respect. Some might be quite mad at the U.S. people though but to be honest with you it is quite rare.

This is very untrue ..

. There's a difference between hating the government and hating the people

. I can tell you this for sure.

I for example, dislike Bush and his government (thats a polite way of saying hate btw.) However, many of my friends are westerners, being muslims or christians. So what your saying doesnt imply whether to me or any other person. However, you can find people that hate westerners the same way you find westerners that hate middle easters. So no biggie really.

Hope that does clear stuff for ya.

Thanks for that Ahmed and Rammie. I think I should clarify my statement by telling you that I have some Iranian friends who have warned me in the past about travelling to certain parts of the middle east - I'm not paranoid but just precautious.

your not paranoid, and you dont seem so, they have their views thought, but I dont see them right, however u do get exceptions though

.

To each his own.
