If they hadn't been there, it wouldn't have happened.
A bit harsh, Spod, but, to be fair, also a common attitude in the Middle East - try being in a road accident in Saudi - the foreigner is always to blame, because "if they hadn't come to our country ....... "
Of course, since Islam is a pre-determinist (or fatalist, if you prefer) religion, they died because Allah wished it - they had no say in the matter.
Hey Spod, better stay away from London too with that attitude, add Bali, Turkey, Morocco, Russia, the US, Spain while you're at it. I'm sure that list i going to expand as well.
All I said was assess the risks, if you can live with the risks, fine. Just don't start whinging when things turn to tulipe!

Just for starters, what happens if in "preventing" evil now he introduces more evil in the future?
Owl, it's not my argument, it's something I received a couple of weeks back that I thought sat well with Spods comment.
Your question is interesting though, are you suggesting that 'God' firstly, could fail to anticipate the consequences of his actions, or secondly that 'God' could make mistakes/errors of judgement?
If God is willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
If he is able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
If he is both able and willing? Then why does evil still occur?
If he is neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Ah, the kiddies' argument.

But Spod (I know you are in Palestine now- you are taking risks too )
anyway I have always dreamt of visiting the pyramids, luxor and the valley of the kings.......
Sandy, back in sunny West Yarkshire - do keep up dear heart!

To try and instill a little variety and novelty in your otherwise miserable and pointless existence bagpuss. What's your excuse?
A piece of advice, before you visit the middle-east, read the Foreign Office website. Be aware of the risks. If after that you choose to visit areas of high risk, then be it on your own heads.
Wake up, it's a dangerous world out there!
You are a worthless piece of sh1t SPod and you know it
What a pathetic attempt at a human being you are. Why do you come here when everyone hates you?
