~*I hope u r all in da best state of health 'N' iman inshallah*~

Well sisterz n brotherz I have a question and in no way am I trying to start an argument or anythg of the sort, This may be personal and private to some, but for those who wish to answer please know that I am a revert myself and i am curious about these things and finding out others answers helps me to make decisions also.

I want to know what stops you from living inside a Muslim country?

This question is directed to all muslims living outside a muslim country whether your a revert or not....and I would like to know if anyone is planning on living in a muslim country in the future? , InshaAllah.

Puls dis is one assignment I hv to do ...

Much appreciated. clear - Why do you live in the West if you hate it so?

There are many muslims who claim to dislike living in Britian. I am not saying all Muslims, many Muslims are very happy to live in western countrys. I just want to know why those who dislike the western life choose to continue to live in one.

i have no problem living in the US. i was born and raised here and like it. As long as you got your deen and respect others and are respected by others, where you live doesn't matter.

Well i agree with that. Just trying to find out the reason why some members choose to still live in western countrys even tho they apparently hate it, as I read many a time in many posts, posted by members. I fully understand that there are many who are quite happy in there western countries.

**Khadeejah** · 05-09-2006

It is not America itself but the government and how they run America thats what I think Allahu Alim

I can’t understand why some who live in Britain/USA preach so much hatred for the countries they reside in.
I know some who preach this hatred are merely immature and misguide Muslims (imo) and many still to young to leave home but many of these still continue to live in western lands well after they become adult.

So if your living in a Western country and hate there ways what is your reason for staying and not leaving for a Muslim country?

I am not saying all Muslims hate living in the west

Hello!

There are many non-Muslims too, that hate living in their own country because of the government and so on.
I dislike the USA because of their government, but the country itself I have no problem with. It is a beautiful country. And the UK is nice too, but their government...

Then again, I don't like Arabia's government either, 'cause they are Muslims but do they act like ones? No.
There are many countries' government and rule I dislike, but the country itself I have nothing against.
The way a country is ruled by, and I don't like it, doesn't make me hate the country but the rulers...
Confusing? I am so bad at explaining things, hopefully you kind of got my point..

Peace

P.S. I live in Finland, the government could improve, but who am I to say so, they try the best as they can and I think it's much better than many others rule, like USA.
