Concur w/GSC. I have a friend who built a beautiful retirement home there. She summarily informed us that she needs bodyguards when she stays there and said it’s entirely too risky for any of us to visit her. Grandson #1 vacationed there w/a tour group and they all stayed close secondary to same.

My brother tells me it’s an island by island thing. He lives on a deeply Catholic island and Muslims are not common or welcome. Very little crime where he lives and he even started a Rotary chapter. Their outreach is to coordinate facial corrective surgery for cleft palate done by volunteer surgeons and support staff from the US and other western countries.
