Just my opinion and view. These wicked jihadist's will not see the redeeming light of paradise as a result of there so called acts of martyrdom, there will only be a perpetual and terrible darkness for them. How naïve they are. Make no mistake.

As I said earlier in the thread, I was at the Imperial Marhaba three weeks ago with my wife. The British have visited Tunisia for decades without any problems. The people there are friendly, and very moderate muslims.

It's not just Americans; the jihadists don't like any Westerners.
