CNN.com - Syria travel boom despite trouble - Jul 17, 2005: "DAMASCUS, Syria (Reuters) -- Strolling in the narrow lanes of the oldest inhabited city in the world, American tourist David Kummer says he feels safer in its old souks than on the streets of New York.
'It's safer than New York here but Americans are fearful of Arabs, they think they are all terrorists. Most of it is prejudice but I wasn't scared,' said Kummer, 55, a teacher at a college in Valhalla, New York state, in the shady courtyard of an old Damascus home."
