I own a vacation apartment in Marbella, Spain and have no problems there. I wouldn't visit Germany or Paris due to you don't know what's going to happen next due to the Muslim population in those areas. I also have concerns about visiting times Square or DC sites due to they're ISIS targets.
How did he know they were Muslims. Did he ask them. Would someone identify me as christian just by looking at me.

If you had plans? Would you cancel? Do you still plan on visiting there if you ever wanted to do so?

Me , personally... I have a paid vacation booked to Germany next year thats already paid for . Although the recent refugee crisis , my plans are un changed . I still intend on going..


Any input?
I'm thinking of ADDING Paris to my itinerary. I was only planning on going to Spain, but I would add Paris in a heartbeat. Depends on the length of my vacation.

Been to the southern coast of France. Beautiful country except for the people. Thought it was just Americans they were rude to until I asked my friends in Italy. They confirmed that the French are rude to just about everyone. I enjoyed my time in Spain, Italy, Malta, Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Israel. Despite the language barrier, I met many people in those countries who were open and friendly and at least made an effort to communicate. Many times we had fun and a good laugh in the process. Though I know some words and phrases in French (Cajun French), my attempts at communicating were met with disdain, rude gestures, and cursing. That was in the mid 1990s.

Possibly the beards, shouting in Arabic, traditional clothing from their country of origin. Not too hard to spot fanatics.

That's nothing. Many conservatives on this board insult people (homosexuals, ethnic minorities) simply for existing.

Every notice how right-wingers always have the perfect negative anecdote for the thread topic? Obamacare quadrupled my premiums, illegal immigrant took my job, Muslims in France yelled at my son?

We call that "lying".
