This may be off topic;

But I had a trip planned to Bali in 3 weeks, which just so happens to be ramadan. The wife might be super pissed, but I am serisouly thinking about canceling completely. Would anyone here do the same, after this attack? I worked security Forces in Afghanistan and ramadan was a real shitty time for me, I wouldnt feel relaxed on vacation in a muslim country. Even though the island itself has a hindu population.

Would your wife feel more pissed if you said noting and something bad happened? Not saying anything will happen, but places where you'd normally feel safe is where they like to do things and Ramalamading dong increases the probability. Bali is mostly hindu with a muslim minority, but hell the muslims who would start shit might not even be from there.

You'll probably be fine, just keep eyes open and have a "what if shit started right now" plan. It sucks that you have to check the calendar to find out when probability is high that "shit might start" but that is the current situation.

Billionaire businessman Anders Holch Povlsen lost three of his four children during the bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.

Povlsen, the CEO of wholesale fashion business Bestseller and richest man in Denmark, was reportedly visiting the country with his wife, Anne, and children on vacation when the attacks took place.

I can't imagine, but I hope he uses some of that money to track these guys down.

Some people did something to "Easter worshipers."

(Reference to Obama and Hillary not wanting to speak the truth and avoiding the use of "Christians" in their pathetic statements.)

Damn those Mormons! Oh wait...

"The government on Monday blamed a little-known radical Islamist group for the devastating Easter Sunday suicide bombings that killed nearly 300 people. Officials said the group, which had not carried out any serious attacks before, had received help from an international terrorist organization."

You know of the 2002 bombings, right?

I wouldn't go there to relax, especially during Ramadan. Too many safer places to go. For example, the Cayman Islands are in the Caribbean, are genuinely safe (unlike most Caribbean islands), are free of corruption, etc. Or maybe consider somewhere in the South Pacific far away from the religious wars.

I wouldn't have a problem going. Just be the gray man, man in the middle.

I don't go ANYWHERE I can't carry. Including the People's Democratic Republics of New Yawkistan, New Joisey, Commiefornia, Hellinois, and others... Fudge 'em.

They're ONLY allowed to blow up infidels AFTER sunset during, Ramadama ding-dong - Avon!
