I agree.

I can speak on behalf of my country, these maps look like they've been carelessly done.

Which exact cases are you not agreeing with? Explain.

Those maps have a to entertain value. Not always having to be extremely accurate. There is more than adequate accuracy to qualify those online Global maps, and include them.
The yellow parts mainly. I just don't understand why it comes under 'reinforced alertness'. I would feel safer in these places than I do here in America. But the red parts I do agree with and the border of the whole country.

Unless diseases and road safety are considered in this map, I don't think reinforced alertness is needed.

Most of Songkhla and Satun are fine, should not be in the same group as Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.

All posters let us know your individual method of criteria for various areas of this World. Encouraging safe to very dangerous not welcoming to foreigners identification realm!
Bahrain isn't safe. There are conflicts between Shias and Sunnis and protests are common despite attempts at repression from the local monarchy.
Southeastern Turkey should be safer, nowhere near the level of more unstable countries
Western and Central Ukraine is as safe as Poland is except fear of uprisings given the deep recession the country is going in
What baffles is why you consider Hungary, Italy, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and heck even Belgium to be more unsafe than other Western European countries. Especially Italy, who hasn't ever had a single Islamic terroristic attack

Ghana (from what I've read and been told about) is quite safe and I think it is safer than South Africa, in regards to crime.
And as for my country, I've said everything above, otherwise, you'd have to see it to believe it . (or read peoples accounts after visiting it).

Appart the bombing in March what did happen in Belgium? Nothing.
You seem to give a lot of importance to a relatively small terror cell that could have been located in any western country.

Belgium is safe, you are still more likely to be killed in the United States.

Honestly, Star 2 Classification system is usually equal to Star 1 on merit of recognition. You have a false interpretation. Okay, I have altered my mind on a vast majority of those European nations. Sweden, Norway, Hungary, and Italy now go to Star 1 Extremely Safe realm. Undecided about France, Germany, Spain. They are able to go into Star 1 or Star 2 either way. Usually To Always Very Safe, Except A Few Times Some Exceptions Abnormalities.

Observing you haven't referred to Belgium. Is this really the most dangerous nation right in all of mainland Europe other than Ukraine-Russia? Incredible. Too much news articles with all types of ISIS threats there to say otherwise.
Sorry if you found me rude. I was just surprised by your perception of safety.

I didn't mention Belgium because I didn't feel like quoting every country on your list, not because I find it more dangerous.

Malaysia is notorious for robbery. It's most certainly not a safe country. And seriously, Mexico? China and Thailand are ok for the most parts (except for traffic), though I would definitely not consider them to be 'extremely safe'.

Thailand and China are pretty safe compared to Mexico.
I just saw the question mark behind Mexico haha.
