Terrorism is present everywhere and all the time. We can never be completely safe. Terroristic threads and attacks do happen. The latest incidents in the UK and in Germany should have made us all aware of the danger again. How realistic is a terroristic attack in Malta? Are you afraid of terroristic attacks in Malta?
Between 10th and 24th August 2006 almost 300 people participated in this online poll. Thank you very much!
Here the details:
302 votes were cast in this poll. Unfortunately, there were 20 people who voted more than one time. Thevotes of these 20 people had to be made invalid in order to obtain aresult which is more honest and true. So the number of valid votes was 266.
Here the percentages that the various answers got: Yes: 89 votes = 33,46 % No: 177 votes = 66,54 %
INTERPRETATIONS:
The international terrorism is far away, at least for the Maltese. Only one third of the people are afraid that terroristic attacks could happen in Malta.
The editor would like to point out, thatthis poll is not representative for the whole country. However, itgives a clear indication anyway.
Of course, fear and concerns should not dominate our life. But we must also not become naive.
