I hate to say it, but I fear it's game over for Tunisia's tourist industry .

[Livia]

In 1997, 62 people, mostly tourists, were gunned down by Islamist terrorists in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. Egypt's tourist industry is still thriving. I see no reason Tunisia's tourist industry won't recover in the same way. Of all the Islamic countries I've visited, and I've been to a few... Tunisia is by far the most relaxed and inclusive. I hope people support them. I will for one.

Well let's hope this incident doesn't kill off Tunisia's Tourist Industry as it would send a signal to the terrorists that they have won.

That's true, Nedusa. I suppose it'll take a while and mostly depend on how the Tunisians handle the aftermath.

[Kizzy]

It will recover if the threat of terrorist activity and political upheaval subsides, and when it does I'm sure the tourists will be back in droves.

Of course in time people forget that is natural but for now the terrorists have scored a victory with most if not all of the cruise companies pulling Tunis as a destination stop. Best get packing Livia they need you.

126 killed in Yemen today

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-31983627

also a woman was lynched and set on fire in Kabul for burning a koran (happens all the time in Pakistan, sadly)

essentially if you want to kill someone, get a few folks with you and start the lie that the person burned a koran, combine that with uneducated masses and hey presto you have a death
