I agree that I got a weird vibe on Kuta Lombok when I was there last year. The Indonesian friends I was with told me they felt the hawkers were a little too interested in us. As well, someone told us not to leave our rented car unattended for fear of damage. That being said, I have spent lots of time in Lombok and generally feel very safe and find people friendly whether they're Muslim or Balinese. I was travelling alone and felt much more nervous in Kuta Bali than Sengigi. The island has a lot to offer and I wouldn't want anyone to feel it is too dangerous to travel to.
