If there is a crime in the Bronx it does not changes the life in Tuscon.
Where I go in algeria is 2000 km from where the crimes are commited. When you are in Ensisheim, you are closer to the zone of danger near Algiers than in the deep algerian sahara wher i go.
There are more integrists ( of any religion ) in France and Germany, the countries around and close to Ensishiem and Munich than inhabitants in the deep algerian sahara. Take care when you come to see us !
Just my 2 cents

"tens of thousands dead" "Hours later, gunmen used automatic weapons and axes to kill three children and their parents in a village near Djendel"
LONDON (AFP) - Amnesty International called Thursday for an independent inquiry into a recent wave of massacres in Algeria, in which at least 310 people have been killed.
The killings, which come during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, are being blamed by the Algerian government and press on Islamists, in an eight-year civil war campaign in the northern African country which has claimed more than 100,000 lives.
"The authorities must ensure that full, impartial and independent investigations are carried out," Amnesty said in a statement from London.
"These killings must not be allowed to join the long list of unsolved crimes," it continued.
Press reports in Algeria Thursday said Islamist fighters on Wednesday massacred eight people in a village in the Chlef region, 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of the capital Algiers.
Hours later, gunmen used automatic weapons and axes to kill three children and their parents in a village near Djendel, 110 kilometers (70 miles) southwest of Algiers, reports said.
These raids and other incidents, including a bomb attack, in several parts of northern Algeria took the death toll from violence blamed by the Algerian government and press on Islamists opposed to the secular state to at least 110 since Saturday.
At least 310 people have been massacred since Ramadan began on November 27th.

More links on massacres, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/139630.stm

anytime there are massacres, where hundreds are killed, I would consider that place to be a dangerous place, and not willing to take my family there too often.

Here is a nice map of attacks, this one is just for June, 2003. http://www.algeria-interface.com/new/rubriques/english/violence/pages/jun2003.htm
Algeria may not be the worst place in the world, and tourists seem to have no problems in Algiers, but leaving the city seems to be a little dangerous. Not exactly a nice tourist spot.
