If you look at a map of the world's trouble spots it's a lot like our route network, lol!!
Hey look if Emirates stops going to destinations considered safe by the CIA World Factbook or whatever source you like, we'll have about three destinations left. Just how it is.
I've been here a long time and the way I look at it is we're not on anyone's takeout list, Dubai has long been a place where all the bad guys shelter money (especially since the Arab Spring began) and I don't think we, as an airline, are a particular target for anyone. That's not to say we might not find ourselves close to trouble, like the Karachi flight recently, but generally speaking I feel safe.....well safe from terrorism....not safe from ATC or the environments we sometimes find ourselves in but that's another story.
