The Global Peace Index was released for 2012 recently, and it’s surprising in some ways, and totally expected in others. Nations were rated for safety, based on a wide range of factors, including: homicides, violent crimes, violent demonstrations, police activity, perceived criminality in society, political instability, weapons importing/exporting and access, terrorist activity, neihgbouring country relations, and deaths from conflicts. Those were just some of the major indicates, but there were even more minor indicators that were also considered, such as freedom of press, gender inequality, adult literacy rate, hostility to foreigners, unemployment, life expectancy, and infant mortality.
The index was produced by the Australia and U.S.-based Institute for Economics and Peace. And it looks like, for the first time, sub-Saharan Africa isn’t the world’s least peaceful region at the moment. Now North Africa and the Middle East are, thanks to the Arab Spring.
The full list is here, but I have a shortened list below. The countries also have their 2011 ranking in parentheses.
Top 10 Peaceful Nations
1) Iceland (Same as 2011)
2) New Zealand (Same as 2011; now tied with Denmark)
2) Denmark (↑ from 4)
4) Canada (↑ from 8)
5) Japan (↓ from 3)
6) Austria (Same as 2011; now tied with Ireland)
6) Ireland (↑ from 11)
8) Slovenia (↑ from 10)
9) Finland (↓ from 7)
10) Switzerland (↑ from 16)
Other Notable Countries
12) Qatar (Same as 2011)
14) Sweden (↓ from 13)
18) Norway (↓ from 9)
22) Australia (↓ from 18)
25) Spain (↑ from 28)
29) UK (↓ from 26)
42) South Korea (↑ from 50)
83) Brazil (↓ from 74)
88) U.S. (↓ from 82)
89) China (↓ from 80)
135) Mexico (↓ from 121)
142) India (↓ from 135)
Bottom 10
149) Pakistan (↓ from 146)
150) Israel (↓ from 145)
151) Central African Republic (↓ from 144)
152) North Korea (↓ from 149)
153) Russia (↓ from 147)
154) Democratic Republic of Congo (↓ from 148)
155) Iraq (↓ from 152)
156) Sudan (↓ from 151)
157) Afghanistan (↓ from 150)
158) Somalia (↓ from 153)
What the Rankings Mean
It’s no surprise that Iceland and New Zealand ranked high (1st and 2nd, respectively). Both countries have good education; Iceland is the most gender-equal country in the world, and New Zealand is the friendliest and least-corrupt country in the world, not to mention one of the most generous and prosperous. Obviously these kinds of distinctions correlate with some seriously good living conditions.
Canada also ranked very high (#4) with a big leap from 8th place in 2011, because of the reduction in casualties in the conflict in Afghanistan. And perhaps Japan’s rank fell from #3 last year to #5 because of an impending sense of death that looms over Tokyo, as a massive quake is slated to hit within the next few years. Scientists don’t know where or when, but they know what places are at the greatest risk, and that there’s a 70% chance that it’ll occur by 2016.
Last year’s “Arab Spring” brought the global peace numbers down, and the year before was plagued by economic issues that made the world more tumultuous. Syria has gotten progressively more dangerous every year since the index was started, ranking #77 in 2007 to 147 this year. However, according to Steve Killelea – the Australian entrepreneur who created the first index six years ago – this is the first in three years that the world as a whole has become more peaceful.
The improvement in relation with the states and a greater reluctance to resort to war is very profound, particularly in Africa. You’ve seen a very significant reduction in conflict [. . .] When I first went to Uganda 15 years or so ago, for example, they were fighting four wars. Now they are fighting none.
International relations are, on average, more diplomatic now and less martial. Military spending is also falling, though the global economic crisis probably has something to do with that.
So perhaps we should say that this index indicates that the world is gradually changing for the better; but we still have a long way to go before we can claim to realize the perhaps naive dream of world peace.

. everyone in pakistan are enjoying their life even poor people. 
i can prove you by a survey . belive me. i hope so everyone does as human. 
thanks,
ayesha.
It’s false. I think Pakistan is the most dangerous country ever to live in. It is full of terrorists. No body can feel safe here.
Terrorists? Look at your YANKLAND before commenting on other peoples nation, you stereotpyical whore, like every other yank thinking Pakistanis are all terrorists.
Pakistani people are not all terrorists. The country is just heavily populated with extremists that have hijacked the Muslim religion. You sound like a very hateful and small minded person. The names you throw around do not help your cause.
People that fight wars in gods name will be judged eventually. All we need is a little patience.
England is full of Pakistan people, if Pakistan is so great why do so many what to live life in a country that the police do not carry guns, have a wealthfare system…etc
Also how the hell is Ireland a peaceful country and #6 This Island has a terrible account of bombing etc another country, Norway doesn’t?
I’m from the UK originally, now living in the United States.
But Ireland is a peaceful country. I think you are thinking of Northern Ireland – which is a different case entirely!!
The UK police don’t need guns. Gun crime is pretty low in the UK – and they have specialist police for dealing with it. Here in the US on the otherhand… yeah… not so good.
no thats what u think because of the false information given to u by the media. go to pakistan ur self and see. the only reason that it is the dangerous place in the world because of the tribal areas where the US dose its fucking drone attacks making more future terrorist in pakistan. leave pakistan alone. i can say this because i have been there, u havent.
I like your positive “approach”, try to be honest, please visit Karachi and find out, we knows very well because we are sufferer.
We are hijacked by political bandits from last 5 years.
Drones kills less peoples if you compares killing in Karachi.
Pakistan is not a good country, please avoid going to pakistan and afghan
Kamal u r not a true pakistani get out from here. You have no right to live here. In pakistan u move so freely every where is it not enough.
in other countries u have live like a cat where u cant move so freely. then u will understood the value of pakistan.
I love my pakistan in good time as will as in bad times.
Shame on people like you.
Pakistan may be safe enough for a Pakistani to walk around Lahore or Rawalpindi but not so safe for Westerners to visit Peshawar or even Karachi. The point is that some parts of the country are safer than others.
Well, the language and the arguements of my dear Pakistan colleagues only prove the attitude of a dangerous country…. arrogant and more to violence.
why you dont tell the world we are not good people, same are our leaders not Pakistan itself.
Thats right pakistan is really very dangerous half of the population is terrorists
Pakistan is dangerous country only Pakistanis not for anyone else.
Ayesha u are absolulity right Pakistan is also Peaceful country i agree with you and i appriciate your thinking about pakistan you are a petriotic girl
True.
No doubt
well is pakistan really safe
if pak z a safest country, ur govt., will not wake up after assasination of osama and watch it in american news channels. other country enters into ur own, till u didn’t kno wat z happening there. then how will u say its safest nation. & what z the situation u ppl are there. how u say ur r peaceful???
i did’t accept dat usa in 88th position.
In a country where there are large areas of cities that are dangerous to be in, I consider USA to be one of the more dangerous countries I’ve visited. Though to be fair, it has become a lot safer for a tourist now than when I visited in 1980s & 1990s.
u r right saba
Stop leaving in drea miss AYESha. I used to live in bc Pakistan but i immigrate back in 2009 coz of target killing fuc… pakistan bc
Ha ha.. The biggest joke I have ever heard of. No one knows when a bomb blasts off and where. No need to tell about women’s safety and freedom of speech. People did not forget Malaya yusef. Pakistan’s democracy is another joke. Series of military coupes since its independence. Ongoing border dispute with neighbor, notorious for harboring terrorism, hide out of most wanted terrorist and lot more… Still he claims Pakistan is a peaceful country. Can’t control my laugh.
shut up……dnt discus my cntry as dangerous cntry ….. if it is dangerous it is because of america, india and israil.
hey @ ayesha..hope u dont know that pak is the worst country in the whole world..if according to u it is d safest country then you people have to feel shame on you because it is only yours and yours country which is producing terrorist,,do u ever listen about so much bad about any other country,no, bcoz each and every country have there self respect but only pakistani’s have anger,terrorism,,having 4-4 wives and nothing..you rubbish peoples,always search a reason to fight with any of the country without any reason.feel shame on your country and just think why everyone feel the same about country because you people are like this and you dont know anything,,you just know is to kill many many innocent peoples and nothing..shame on u..bc,,mc pakistan
pakistan is a peaceful country as u said! ok i agree but d govt. of pakistan dosent like peaceful life… why every time pakisatan does d terror activity against indai… d people of pakistan wants a friendly environment but ur govt. dosent… u tel me if india ever did sumthing wrong to ur country…. but u always did 2 us so i think aawaam of pakistan have heart but pakistani govt dont.. shame on uuuu…. fuck u pakistan…
i am from india
The U.S should be the most dangerous.
US isnt the most dangerous place in the world but the things it dose is unbelievable. like booming the shit of afganistan 3 weeks after the 911 killing 15,000 innocent people and above which didnt even do shit at all. after that they did drone attacks in the tribal areas in pakistan which killed 35,000 innocent people and above. that didnt do shit either.
( i can say because i have been there)
COMPARING to the US 911 only about 3,000 innocent people died. BUT what if US got hit with 35,000 people dead, it would have caused world war 3. so my suggestion to US is to 1. LEAVE PAKISTAN THE FUCK ALONE!!!!
2. YOU ARE NOT WINNING BUT LOOSING THE WAR( Majority opinion populations wise)
3. U ANY GAINING SHIT, u know that’s true
4. only pakistans tribal areas age dangerous but not the whole country
5. Pakistan is a peaceful place
I looks fairly accurate in fairness, i no i wudnt want to holiday any of the countries at the end of the list
The headline is misleading. This isn’t about the “safety” of countries. It’s about which countries are most likely to be involved in a war, as determined by a An Australian “entrepreneur” named Steve Killelea.
In other words, these numbers don’t mean anything, except to express Mr. Killelea’s opinion about what countries are most warlike. Based on the events of the last 12 years, I personally think the US should be #1.
USA and Israel both are biggest trouble maker countries because they both send funds to terriost organization , i believe that if these both countries could not exist then this world would be like heaven.
yhea and in the medieval times too if the USA never existed
Your correct
Hi ASAD, thanks for your comment.
I found what you said to be a little odd, though. For someone who implies that terrorist organizations are bad, you sure seem to share the same beliefs as them.
i surely agree for what asad says though i don’t know him!!!!!!!!!
I was born in Sligo,Ireland it is a really peaceful nation it’s a very beautiful Country.Pakistan is not a safe country because sometimes crime happens sometime a bomb explodes
and a crash happens so if your planning to go to Karachi,Pakistan change your mind 
But I don’t want to go to the cities at the end of the list. 
I lived in Ireland and it’s a very safe and peaceful place to go to.But Pakistan is a very dangerous place to go to! some people are throwing rubbish in a really dirty lake!:(
The trouble is in Tribal Areas (not even 5% area); not whole country. There is history behind all this. Things take time to change. Pakistanis are peaceful and caring people. The people who live their know better; not media. Off course bad thing happen but they happen all over the world. We should efforts to make things better
pakistan is most dangerous country…there vll be many conflicts based on religion in pakistan…they want whole world should follow islam.
umm..well.I really don’t wanna offend.HONEST.But I guess maybe in all the countries mentioned there,there’s the good and the bad side of it
The Us is not dangerous as you above imply.
majority of muslim countries are dangerous to live in…
its your fucking india
i dont think so.u people can do nothing else except comparing ur poor,violent country which has suicide bombings every day.u people even dont know to respect integrity of our country.that is evident from the fact that ur army beheaded one of our soldiers.
YES, PAKSITAN IS SAFEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD FOR TERRORISTS, EXTREMIST, FANATICS AND PRE DATORS. YOU BLOODY PAKISTANIS LEAVE ALL THE COUNTRIES AND SETTLE IN PAKISTAN, THE WORLD WILL BE PEACEFULL AND HAPPY
Wow, angry little man. Save your energy bro
Pakistan is the worlds most beautiful and peaceful country.now shut ur …… Up
I live in NZ its pretty safe it has ups and downs like all countries. It has one problem though and that’s racism if you’re for example Indian people assume you own a corner dairy and only eat curry. Makes me ashamed to be a white European to be honest.
Really? The research I’ve done for Skeptikai has led me to believe that NZ has some of the lowest racism, highest friendliness, and best attitudes towards other people. It’s a shame to see that it’s still pervasive in a places like NZ, but evidently it’s a lot worse elsewhere then. Check here for more: http://skeptikai.com/2011/12/30/2011-world-ranking-of-most-gender-equal-corrupt-generous-and-prosperous-countries/
All depends on literacy percentage.
More literacy percentage, more safe country, because of less internal problems. On an average this rule works
Awesome sala….
South Africa is also a very bad place. Cause I live here and when you read our papers I think you will agree. People kill each other for nothing.
No we aren’t I mean your a south-african and I am one also but I can confirm you that we aren’t THAT BAD
south africa is full of AIDS and i will never go there ..i am from ghana
We know that we are not from the list but we are still happy with all countries that are safe because we are from the__________s.(guess it man!!
)(^^^)
For the people who thinks pakistan is a teorist county, i strongly reccomend you join the US spec forces and see wha they’ve got cooking up for you. i was a soilder for the pakistani army once my brother was also there the day the NATO attack. i saw his peices being blown off to my face! can you imgine that he was not even a soilder he came to me to give me a gift and was blown to peices he was just a medic. not even killed anyone.USA wants pakistan for the resources the land we aquire is full of them they seem as allies but are enemies. it’s no use now to sy mashallah because americans already have eyes on them. i pray to allah that we will be a strong country now and till the day of judement.
I live in the United States and don’t think we’re a notable country. Either everyday, or almost everyday of the year, somebody has been killed in my city, and we’re called the city of ‘brotherly love.’ We’re to hateful, and kill to much for that name. Some call us the city of “brotherly hate”, and “Killadelphia.” We have so many
and 
people in this country.
the people living in US just look at ur streets which are full gun and and drug sellers

All pakistanis the world knws ur truth,no need to justify…how u treat the hindus gives the idea how safe is pakistan…pakistan is disrespecting the word “PAK” becoz all the people are non “PAK”…
There seem to be no tolerance in pakistan. bomb blasts happen frequently. people of other religions live in fear of blasphemy laws. poor hindu girls are abducted for conversion and forced marriages. uneducated christian girl was sent to prison in islamabad. Ahmedias live in fear. pakistan is under the influence of Islam (strong religous fanaticism) rather than modern open mindedness. If its a nice, peacefull country why do they go to countries like US and UK for settling down. Even there they protest for everything and complain. locally mobs are ready to burn and ransack the houses of non muslims for some reason or other. Taliban thrives on gun culture. you dont see women free on ordinary streets like in Brasil or India. Its free for mullas at best after Saudi arabia.
pakistan sucks you housed osama and the rest of al quedas leaders we in america dont appreciate that at all
da hell is wrong with you @ zabata/ how i live in the us streets are pretty clean dont see guns or weed come to america and youll see how wrong you are quit complainin what country you live in prob britain they hate america
Qatar >>>>>the best and peaceful country
How much Mexicans pay to be in the most notable places and countries … That’s dangerous as hell … They have some of the most dangerous cities in the word but the appear like the best … That’s BS
My reply to all of u commenting here specially on pakistan the thing is that prblm is not in the islam or pakistan problm are you(non muslim)see the history america wnts to b the one super power that is imposible.
So my msg to al of u n-muslims stay and see ur end bcos its going very bad
Kindly improve ur english
Mexico is the most dangerous place in the world there murder rate is higher than the whole world I’ve lived there and seen more deaths than I’ll ever see in Camden nj in the USA
Pakistanis are kind and friendly but they are primitive.. that’s what makes them dangerous, not all ! only the tribal areas,
with regards to South Africans …those are true murderers & killers same as Brazil, Guatemala, Colombia., mexico, Venezuela…these are all killers the most brutal and most savage nation in every sense are the Russians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they are satin in the form of a Human
Uh you say that south-africa and brazil is the real killers but just look at your nation bombing them self and innocent people so hold your comments to yourself and FYI(for your information) also leave Britain , USA and Australia out of this because that nations RULE
And Also the russians aren’t bad so leave south africa. Brazil. Russia. Colombia. Mexico. Venezeula. And Geutemala out of this
pakistan is very save cuntry i love my cuntry everyone happy to live in pakistan.
I used to live in Somalia but since there is hardly any government there the crime is getting out of control (piracy,war,kidnapping westerners.) that shit happens every day
Don’t go to Somalia you westerners will get killed as you leave the airport I’m Mogadishu
You should probably stick to Urdu. Then again you do indeed live in a “cuntry”.
Hey im from iraq and I have to say while it is true that our country not safest one out there, its actually not as chaotic as they make it in the media, and they lie a lot to the point where its crazy. I hope people can just stop their madness and get along.
i think all coutries are awesome!!!
if You are Muslim and feeling unsafe anywhere in the world… you are most welcome to Pakistan…. just avoid watching News Channels.
My reply to all of u commenting here specially on pakistan the thing is that prblm is not in the islam or pakistan problm are you(non muslim)see the history america wnts to b the one super power that is imposible. :
well i think Pakistan has always been unlucky because of bad dictatorship. but Pakistan is a good country to visit. but carefully. actually Pakistan is kinda hot topic around the world and it is targeted by some of them. but i strongly disagree with this, that all of Pakistanis are terrorists and all of us are Taliban and shit like that. i am saying this because i live here. i don’t know about India or America or China because i don’t live their and can tell about it with my point of view. so, i know there are some of them who don’t like Pakistan for no reason. that’s fine. it ain’t that important.
Hi Kamal Rabbani,
I completely agree with you that we should not talk about those countries that we never had been or we don’t know well. It’s better to speak about our own countries. Its very sad to see India at bottom, and reason behind it may be terrorist attack and countries corruption. As an individual I have no complaint with Pakistan but when you read/hear negative about Pakistan all over internet and tvs a sense of insecurity automatically comes to mind. I am a hindu and I never had any problem with any Indian muslims infact it never comes to my mind that the person is muslim or what, it really does not matter for me. but when I hear about Pakistani muslims I feel scared. Its because pakistananis(muslims) dont like indians(hindus), so I feel when they get a chance they will harm us. I know that muslims (islamic followers) are very peace loving people, I have many muslim friends, I also worked at offices where the bosses were muslims, you know in India it does not make any difference between hindus and muslims, all are same. Please dont take any example of hindu-muslim riot. because those are nothing but planned political games, we should not blame each other for this. But, one thing is true that till today I have never hard of any terrorist that attacked India is non-muslim.. No one is born terrorist but why and how they transformed into terrorist god knows.. I have seen many videos in youtube where it is clearly mentioned that in Pakistan’s every child is taught that India and hindus are your enemy, eliminate them. I ask Why??
Bottom line is brother Kamal, spread love and good things about Pakistan, let this world listen to them read them and watch them and Insah Allah then one day Pakistan will be at top no of peaceful country.
Jai Hind, Incredible India, Welcome to India, India is great, Mera Bharat Mahan.
I think i it is the USA because there are alot of crimes that have not been solved or enen heard of.
i think Pak is best place to live, only matter is this we have to choose right people,People who r don’t work for other nations but people who work for our nation.i am sure no nation can survive in the conditions we r surviving .we have the scenic beauty ,the lush green carpeted mountains, the water fall,rivers,sea and best Army of world.i don’t want to comment on this stupid rating as i am sure everyone love and like its mother land and i request all don’t comment on our country because its our home and if anyone don’t like please don’t visit we r not inviting anyone we love our homeland and we know how to save it and the day is not so far when we will be the best and most successful nation in world and being Muslim we always have hope for better
where is nigeria?everyday boko haram continue to kill innocent lives and the militant in the niger-delta region continue to kidnap foreign workers while the government officials are busy looting the wealth of the country.the only country nigeria is better than is no country.
I don’t agree with some of the comments claiming that the US is very dangerous and full of murder. Sure, there has been some recent crimes such as the Sandy Hook shooting, but don’t let some recent occurrences set your opinions about US being dangerous. I’ll let you know that America is a very safe country ( I’m living there right now and I’m fine). Many of the safest countries have had crimes such as homicide too. If you’re going to believe a country is dangerous because of homicide, then I guess most countries on the planet are considered dangerous to you. (This comment is not to anyone specific. I’m just trying to tell the truth)
Okay to ASAD and those who agree with him/her… I disagree that if the US was gone that the world would be a better place because we are trying to solve the problem not cause them although we sometimes start problems,but we are actually doing something about the issue unlike other countries that don’t give a rats ass about anyone or anything.

I see this huge argument about how safe Pakistan is. All I have to say is it depends in who you are. I have been researching it some and for a Chrisian Pakistan is one of the top 10 most dangerous places in the world. So for certain people Pakistan certainly is dangerous. Certain places unsafe once religion comes into play.
India is best!!! Pakistan is a theocratic country where army and terorists rule.

hi brothers and sisters , I’m Sujana a truly beloved and proud to be an Indian. Please don’t ignore this things,” Our mother earth has given us life God has given soul to us to use properly why do we want to say that my country is great .ok deal. if u love ur own country then your country is ordering you to salute the whole world. ok all right .
tell me some reasons that is the news conflicting u ,aren’t journalists in the world right? who came to India who hasn’t done anything to Pakistan got attacked killing 200 people and a beautiful monumented restaurant. give me the answer shame of the world. stupid countries take bad thoughts. Pakistan should have stopped that idea. you say that that wasn’t me the terrorist did ?right? before who asked you to support pakisthan? huh? The two sides shall unite on their own, the circumstances that shall lead to that are:
1. Pakistan shall have ruined itself through its own terrorism problems.
2. Different states in Pakistan shall slowly want to unite with India as India shall remain stable.
3. This shall then become a trend for the other states to follow.
4. In a few decades the 2 countries shall have united and thereby have solved the partition problem.
this can be prevented! I am a Hindu who can explain problems. I know pakistans don’t really get along with other countries because of the technically past and ancient events. If the western countries wouldn’t conquer and barren us into deep sorrows we Asians could certainly , for sure be highly developed and technically the highest developed countries in the world.
don’t take it like a banana remain ,our ancestors did it by taking it , and so hatred grew in us too. I know we as Asians one day will hold our hands and lead the world by leaving western countries like UK who erupted and destroyed the hearts of our great fathers.I have even seen cat & mouse becoming friends, so y can’t we ? It is one country, culture and history divided based on communal strife. Perhaps the partition was one of the most tragic events in history that was overshadowed by the holocaust.
Indians and Pakistanis are friends but not as a country. The country and historic developments have got two siblings hugging each other with a political fence in between. If the political environments change from how they are today as indicated by John From below, and both stop the hate propaganda in thier own nations perhaps they can have better chances of peace and work towards progress.
The British left behind a “Divide and Rule” mentality that thrives till date in these countries, internally and externally. But it can certainly change! mean while take care with good positive attitude to our Asian countries ! MERA BHARAT MAHAN AND PAKISTHAN KOA JAI HIND! muje bhatha hai ki ek din ham yeh sab comments koa padkar laugh zaroor karenge !!
i surely agree that other western countries are sending allies to eastern asia and killing and harming citizens for resources. Already they are highly developed countries and still due to their greediness the want more they are like ~
“lets have some more enjoyment in torturing people , we Asians need to fight against to this western imperialism. As Asians one day we will be safe by blessing of Allah, Jesus and Vishnu Deva! and they will suffer and never even look angrily on our countries! MERA ASIAN MAHAN!!!
I’m from Canada, I knew it was safe but didn’t know it would be considered the 4th safest country in the world! I think South Korea is also very safe as I have lived here for 3 years and never felt in danger. In fact, I felt safer in South Korea than Canada haha
Pakistan is the most dangerous place to live. maybe not for pakis because they are used to it. The police is corrupt, when people see police they should be more afraid coz they will empty your pockets and put you in jail for no reason and the only thing that can save you is money. sooner or later the country is going to be broken into pieces.
Safest continent is Antarctica.
lol
Russia killing muslims in Chechnya & China have banned ISLAM, the Uyghur muslims in china are not even allowed to worship islam, if they do they are jailed or killed. These people migrated to Pakistan, seeking help but instead of helping them, pakistan killed them too! Pakistan & Chinese army are killing Uyghur muslims in China but their media neither their muslim extremists speak a word against Chinese. 
USA supports taliban? 
joke of the mellienium! the weapons recovered from these fake islamic terrorists are 1950′s Ak47′s its not possible to use such a antique assault riffle without maintenance, And we all know who is manufacturer of these Kaliashinkov’s! If USA sponsors terrorists y terrorists are attacking western interests instead of Chinese & Russians? Western economy wants to avoid war to save its economy. Chinese & Russians are training & funding terrorists, painting them as “ISLAMIC JIHAD”. Forcing west to use its military which will make conditions worse for the west. Pakistan ain’t strong enough to train terrorists & fund them & execute such big plans, Its Russia & China using Pakistani soil, Pakistani leaders using Islam as their shield & fooling people.
every one person called the best country where he or she is living
but the false image which is created by some extremist persons about Pakistan or about ISLAMIC religion is not true
i am living is Pakistan from 20 years and also my age is 20
but in 20 years i don’t face any crime happens with me so i called the Pakistan is a safer and peaceful country to live
same as it any person living in it homeland describes its country safer
so don’t take impact of any falsehood or uncreative information about pakistan
if you want to see what is pakistan than come to our lahore city
you will found the most friendly country and most care taking peoples there
what ever u r even u r european or belongs to another country you will find respects of olders there
only thing which is uncomfortable in pakistan is heavy population and the critical point which mostly european peoples called terrorism is belongs to the northern area which touched the afghan border only that area is prohibited to go because of afghan peoples
so be positive about pakistan and don’t take any false impression
B cool and stay smiling every time like me
India is a safe country,considering the fact that it has low crime rate ratio to its huge population inclusive of many culture,rqces,religions.
There are rare terrorist activities .
Terror strikes India only when a jihadi from Pakistan arrives in India with fake identity..
I live in Iceland & I’m proud to say that it is truly a peaceful and a safe country :] Although of course there are some crimes committed here but I’d say it’s safer than most place :]] Of course I don’t know cause I’ve just lived in Iceland my whole life.

Also these figures are based on reported crimes…more crimes go unreported than reported. I wouldn’t call Ireland any safer than Britain for instance…yet the UK is about 20 places below it. Ive lived in both places so I know.
Wher the most dengerous country Syria!

Hi All
I wish we can all live in piece, as far as Pakistan goes fact is today Pakistan is one of the dangerous country but not because of Pakistani citizens or I should say normal Pakistani citizens. Here abnormal Pakistani citizens are the corrupt Pakistani politicians that caused corruption in all Pakistani organizations.
Believe me country is only dangerous because of the corruption, once Pakistanis has an honest leader Pakistan will be back on one of the safest and beautiful country to live in or visit.
I do agreed with some of the comments made above by my Pakistani friends, one of the biggest problem in Pakistan is Terrorism and off course an honest government can easily overcome this issue.
Now what is the cause of Terrorism in Pakistan, this is just my view
Started with India Pakistan Separation when British on purpose left Kashmir dispute and created East Pakistan,
Russia and Afgan war, where US used Afghanistan as battle ground to defeat Russia and Pakistan had to accept millions of Afgan refugee that sorry to say play a big role in distorting Pakistan’s security system and brought their illiterate and extremist mentality.
NATO invasion in Afghanistan has pushed all the Taliban in Pakistan.
US led Drone attacks in Pakistan are not helping either, rather causing haterage and creating more terrorist.
Fuck all of you sluts, south Africa should not be excluded in the list of safest countries if the stupid white England and stupid America a country of terrorists is mentioned. Life is not about white rats
Dear friends, No country’s perfect, We’ve all got to make it better!
Defending our own nation is normal, But you can’t just criticize other Nations.
So please stop abusing and fighting with each other.
Much love.
