Although Istanbul seems like a risky place due to the region we are in, the fact that terror is globalizing and threatening the whole world means that Istanbul is no more at risk than other cities.
Travel advisories are issued by trained and competent authorities who have access to information way beyond the published reports. These advisories are prepared according to a protocol. All travel advisories are political tools of governments and they are written by low-level bureaucrats who have never stepped foot in Istanbul.
To me, some people are just bored at home and add questionable posts online. Many of us already know the answer, so it's like a record that skips again & again.
I am not trying to prove something. I just like you guys to be realized and enjoy your travels without too much stress of being cautious. Just be as careful as you are in Paris, New York, Brussels, etc.
Travel. Don't overthink. And if you don't go to Istanbul, you don't even know what you are missing out on. London and Paris have more risk than Istanbul. Yes, we have borders with Iraq and Syria but necessary precautions are taken. But, none of us has a crystal ball to tell you where and when will be the next terror attack. So, like many other foreign tourists wish you would enjoy the beauties of Istanbul.
I am sorry but I must add: Americans have not frequently been targets of crime or terror abroad.
If you check the damage of terror in the world you will end up seeing that Americans are the minority.
Mostly, Muslims who are already in the middle east and European locals and Africans has been targets of crime or terror.
Americans have not frequently been targets of crime as well since Americans are not only people who travel. No need to example of yourself. I can easily give example about my bad travel experiences too.
Enjoy Istanbul on your holiday without undue fear, particularly fear of being somehow targeted because of your nationality, ethnicity or religion. It's an amazing city. Simply follow the golden rule and you'll have a wonderful time with no problems.
The only thing you need to be careful is Taxi drivers as a tourist. They are not dangerous enough to harm people but they are mostly trying to rip off and rude 😉
