> There has been, as far as I know, one single case of tourists being attacked (and killed) by militant Islamists

Reading this made me have to ponder the interesting fact that this is several thousand less than the number of people killed by militant Islamists in the city I live in (New York) since I moved here.

I think it's a complicated comparison to make though, you could well be more of a target as a tourist in Tajikistan than as one of the masses in NYC, so the incidence is low but your chances of being involved in a given incident, etc.
