I'm a Londoner and I've never been persecuted. If I was I would move to a muslim country that's well developed, with nice people like Malaysia.

A friend suggested Bahrain, because he was stationed there and said the people were amazing. Qatar, Dubai, and Oman (especially Oman) have been very high on my family's list. Our problem is finding someplace that will accept me as a Muslim and my husband as a Christian at the same time, and I fear those places will be few and far between.

Where did you get the notion that Malaysia is a good place for Muslims to live in?

Difficult question to answer, it would depend on the world affairs at the time, the state of muslim countries etc.

As long as you are not Shia, you can consider Malaysia as a safe place for Muslims.

I think I would pick Sharjah or Kuwait.

I love the place where I'm in, and would never wanna leave this place.
I live in KSA after all. I think its the best place for muslims, adhan can be heard in every corner of the country. And if there's no mosque near by, people gather jamats almost everywhere, its a beautiful sight.
And most of all, the two Holy cities are here, can visit anytime. :)

My uncle moved to Sharjah to live there, he came back because it was too expensive. The way it works is that the original citizens of Abu Dhabi live the fat life, school and medical help is all free. But the prices for foriegners is crazy, nothing is free.

For those who think Malaysia is a good place for Muslims, I am afraid you will be disappointed. In Malaysia, you can get arrested for eating during the month of Ramadan, for example. Generally speaking the practice of Islam in Malaysia is rooted in Hindu rituals. I speak from personal experience. Of course, everything looks good on the outside. Looks good like a pimply-faced girl with an inch of facial camouflage. Also, the press, radio and tv are all under the direct control of the government. Dissenters can be charged under the Internal Security Act which is a draconian law which allows the incumbent prime minister to commit a person to prison for two years without proof or trial. Plus, the detention can be extended every two years indefinitely. I say this without malice aforethought. Just presenting the facts.

Besides if you are already coming this far, why not go just a little further north. Come to Thailand and I will show you why it's the nearest thing to Paradise this side of heaven. And I am not talking about all those things you see in the tourism brochures or hear over the backpacker grapevine.:p

:rolleyes: I was not aware of that, but honestly that would not disturb me all that much, since I've never heard the athan called in person anyway so I would not miss it. It's because of their tourism industry that we are considering there, partially, since they are more accepting of Western ways so my husband won't be under constant scrutiny.

Surely your list of possible home lands would only include those countries operating under sharia law. How come I don't see anyone opting for Somalia, Yemen or Afghanisan AND how come nobody has opted for Pakistan the spiritual homeland of so many of the members here?

Some countries operate under sharia law but it doesn't mean they do it in the right way, but I wouldn't live in any of them countries because they are dangerous...lol
I would think Saudi Arabia would be great place to live but I doubt I will ever face persecution and I love the freedom of religion in my country :)

There is no country that has fully implemented the Sharia...the last was the Ottoman Empire but collapsed.

Actually those countries are pretty beautiful countries themself. Pakistan is an awesome country, as ive been told, but if some part of it wasnt soo messed up, i would love to go. But as muslims im sure you noticed the majority of the members mentioned 'Makkah and Madinah' the holy cities, they are also 'muslim' countries, Islaam is nor perfectly implemented there either, yet many would love to move there.

As mentioned Islaam hasnt been implemented fully in any of these 'muslim' countries, you yourself are aware of this yet you seem to ask, but only you know why. I feel maybe that you didnt read my post in the 'Dar Al Islaam' thread, you asked and then you was answered, but yet it seems noone has cleared up anything for you.

So if i didnt fully explain it there, i hope its been clarified in this thread.

.. peace ..

Pakistan would have been top on our list if it wasn't for the conflict over there . . . not a very good place to be an American right now, from what people I have met online from various regions there say (unless your name happens to be Greg Mortenson, hehe). But my husband and I really wanted to attend the University of Peshawar. :(

Just thinking to myself . Ever since I first saw this thread a thought has been running through my mind.

"If Muslims were to be persecuted here, am I enough of a Muslim that I would even be recognized as a Muslim?"

How horrible it would be to discover that the reason I am not persecuted is because I am not even seen as being Muslim,

It depends on the situation and circumstances. Migrating to another place or country isn't exactly an easy thing to do and it would involve a lot of hardships upon the family. Don't know which would be harder, facing the persecution with patience or migrating to a place that is not guaranteed to provide full safety. There's no place here on earth that's really safe. And besides, fleeing from persecution may not be a good thing. Facing it with fortitude and staying strong upon the Straight Path despite the persecution would fetch greater rewards in the Hereafter, I imagine. :)

Most people would not be able to stand persecution with patience and still preserving their eeman. Humans are made with a lot of weakness.
Hence the injunction to migrate when we are persecuted in our hometown and do not have the strength to fight back.
