Terrorism Scares Away the Tourists Europe Was Counting On
NY Times ^ | July 29, 2016 | Liz Alderman

The shocks have come one after another: Islamic State killings of civilians in Brussels and Nice. A deadly outburst of terrorism in Germany. A fresh terror-linked atrocity in a small French town. Warnings abound that more may be on the way.

The surge of attacks in Europe has raised questions over whether a potentially durable new threat to stability is settling in. The political challenges for Europe’s leaders are stark, and the impact on the region’s economy may be just as profound.

The western European governments have brought this on themselves. Letting violent barbarians in by the tens of thousands has consequences. Wait till laces like Notre Dame and Westminster abby become mosques. If you don’t think it’s possible look at Istanbul.

Go to Europe? For vacation?

I'd be hard-pressed to go, knowing I could not travel armed. However, if anyone is thinking of going to Europe, they'd better go now while it's still there.

[[France, the New Israel]]

Except Israel is actually a beautiful place to visit and much safer to boot.

Tel Aviv is WAY nicer than Paris , better food , much cleaner , and you won’t have to worry about streets blocked with men with their behinds in the air.

I have a cousin who is getting married in September. They’re going to Germany for their honeymoon.

She’s a nutburger raised by a nutburger, but hopefully they’ll see it without incident before it’s completely consumed.

The tourists just have to get used to bombs, bullets and knives plus the occasional rape ...

A VERY elderly customer said to me, “When I visited France as a youngster, they gave me an M-1, several pounds of loaded magazines, a supply of hand grenades and wished us good luck.”
He smiled and added, “I still got the M-1, but I probably couldn’t get it on the plane, so I’ll stay home.”
Good advice.

Yep. We’ve been planning a year-long world vacation with our kids and have serious reservations about certain western European countries.

With all these vibrant, productive immigrants, per Merkel, they hardly need our tourist dollars.

That is one of their stated objectives: To destroy the economy of their host countries.

Tourism is huge in France, Germany, England, Belgium, Greece and elsewhere in Western Europe. Now, who in their right mind would want to vacation in ANY of these locations knowing full well you, your family, your friends, your loved ones could be butchered, maimed, raped or murdered by anyone of the millions of Muslims animals who have been intentionally invited into theses countries AND ARE BEING INTENTIONALITY PROTECTED BY THE VERY GOVERNMENTS OF THE NATION'S THEY HAVE INFESTED AND ARE SEEKING TO DESTROY AND OVERTHROW FROM WITHIN THROUGH ISLAMIC TERRORSM!

Mr. Mercat and I will be camping throughout Europe for five weeks. We’ll report back. Maybe the crowds will be smaller. I figure its a bit like tornadoes in Kansas. When we have one, we sometimes get calls, emails, from friends outside of Kansas who are concerned about us. We tell them its a great reason for people from the coasts to stay away. hehehe

As an American, Western European, Christian, or Jew, you would now have to literally be out of your mind to even think of going to Turkey (or anywhere in the Middle East) for a “vacation”. There are MILLIONS of feral Muslim animals there who would kidnap, torture, butcher, maim, rape or murder you, your family, your friends, your loved ones IF you were foolish enough to give them the slightest opportunity to do so... just by being there!

Many slaughtered in Paris were tortured and sexually abused before being murdered - all taped by ISIS for their low life goons to ‘get off’ on...

The ‘truck killer’ aimed his truck at woman with young children. Is that what's pornographic for human filth?

Yeah, let's go to ‘Europe’ for a good time - and show how ‘tolerant’ we are... we can impress brain dead liberal elite fools. Or we can vacation in places that are NOT hellholes in process...
