You could get blown up catching a bus in the UK! Who said they were immune from terrorism in Egypt..? I do not think you are immune from it anywhere.

I agree SHO I also think no one country is safe from terrorism wether it be a muslim country or not.Previous years of terror in the uk seem to be forgotten easily.
If anyone thinks that it is concentrated on any one country,I personally think that is not the case.

Having grown up for the last thirty years with terrorist violence in northern ireland, maybe I have become accustomed to it but where in the world is safe?? I heard a term which I think is appropriate 'Egypt is the Switzerland of the middle east' which I think is a very good way of thinking of it.

Nothing really, just as millions of people still use the tube in London you just get on with your life and assume/hope it won't happen to you. Much like boarding a plane not long after a reported air crash.

However, having now visited both Hurghada and Sharm, I do feel that the security can be a bit of a joke. Believe me, some of the guys I have seen outside the hotels would not be capable of stopping a determined 12 year old, let alone a hardened terrorist cell. I think they are there as a "reassuring presence" but if a group did decide to commit an outrage I don't think they would have too many problems.

At least it is more than they are doing in England you can pack a car full of explosives and drive into any hotel reception in England you would be very hard pressed to do this in any hotel in Egypt Terroism is a world wide problem and not just isolated to muslim countrys all we can do is be very vigilant.

i do feel safe, but not immune.

i definitely feel safe from crime. i have not seen or heard of any egyptian committing a crime against a foreigner since i have been here.

the egyptian feels that prevention is better than the cure.

on terrorism, i feel the government is doing all it can to promote peace in the region.

egypt are our allies, and the leading peacemaker and venue for middle eastern peace talks, although nowhere is safe, it could be viewed as off limits to all apart from individuals hell bent on derailing the peace process.

did anyone watch the bbc debate on bbc world held in sharm el sheikh last week?

Sharm hosted the world economic forum for the middle east.

in the hot seat for the BBC debate there was the israeli prime minister, the palastinan prime minister, gamal mubarek and tony blair.

Gamal Mubarek really impressed me. He is the presidents son and head of goverment policy. tony was and grinning from ear to ear and giving the thumbs up to everything he said. (no change there then..) As an investment banker in the past, Gamal sees the economic growth produced by his reforms in egypt could be mirrored in neighbouring states.

Dynastic Nepotism aside, he looks like a good man to succeed his father.

im no political animal, but it was good to see them sitting side by side, and all agreeing on the issues of the need for a palastinian state.

The key to all this is education, womens rights, social and economic reform, and a willingness of the people and the military to avoid violence, at all costs.

only then will there be a true and lasting peace.

side note.. before the brits arrived with their heavy artillery and drew up the maps and created borders and nations, the levantines, syrians, arabs, jews, christians and moslems got on quite well, apparently.

peaceful regards

Of course they did rossantony, how else do the Brits get to sell thier Hawker Hunters and Chieftan tanks if they dont go in 1st and create havoc ? War to the British is a good industry.

Nice one Vix.
