Excellent post, philbky.
As ever, in today's world, those who go about their business without fuss are destined to be forgotten by all but a few when things go wrong.
There are many on this forum who spend countless nights away in foreign hotels, in the belief that the worst that could happen was that the fire alarm might go off for no particular reason at 0300.
None of us would expect to be murdered in that same hotel by mindless thugs simply because we were unable to recite verses from the Koran. RIP.
