Should we be worried?
Dear Sir,
In recent days we have heard, once again, of the terrible atrocities attributed to the ISIS campaign with the massacre of innocent tourists and others in the city of Tunis.
Yet there are people and organisations wringing their hands with glee of the prospect of an additional tourism landing on the Balearic Islands as the North African ports are boycotted on reasons of ‘security’.
I see it as a moral victory for the terrorist forces that they can essentially shut down a country’s main source of foreign revenue overnight, leaving many hard working businesses and local residents without work and thus no source of income.
Majorca has had its fair share of terrorist acts over the past couple of decades but ISIS does not discriminate and, as opposed to other attempts on the Island, its followers would not be wanting to go home ‘after the event’.
Should I be worried?
