Salaam alaykum. I want to leave America for the same reasons. May Allah help us all.

Can’t help but see and feel the similarities between Muslim’s and Christian’s (conservatives). We are constantly vilified as well for following the Bible and not wanting our children to be around or taught perversions. Here in Michigan we have a pretty significant Muslim population and it was truly gratifying to see them coming together with the Christian’s to fight back against the indoctrination happening in our schools. Our media loves to call Christian’s all the “igot” and “acist” “obic” words, but they hold their tongues a lot better when Muslim’s are involved for fear of being seen as another type of “ascist”. lol I wish all of us (Christian, Muslim, Jewish) who follow a moral code as shown to us in our various Holy books could come together on this. There would be so many of us combined, billions! With all of us together can you just imagine how fast we could turn this deterioration of humanity around? I think we all agree that the kids should be off limits!!! If we could just all come together on that one thing, the world would change!

Seems to be a dodge. There must surely be some Palestinians who want to leave. Would ANY Arab state accept and help them?

Where are all of the Confederates, KKK, Southern ??‍???‍? Supremest, that’s always saying Texas is the South & it’s going to “rise again” ?? Why aren’t you protecting your border?? And Arizona was a confederate State too that joined the war to team up with the South, Tucson, Arizona to be exact. We’re sitting back eating popcorn ? wondering what are you guys going to do besides getting on your knees blowing Joe Biden crying for help? Because it looks like the “Migrants” want their land back ??? so who cares

Omg wtf is wrong with this people I understand there people who want to come here and work. but I don’t think is fair with other have come here and work hard and behave good to become citizens and it took them time now this people don’t respect the law they expect all the help right away

Assalam o alikum brothers and sisters,\nI am from Pakistan. i was planing to move to USA, Canada or Australia but now after seeing the situations there and hearing you guys out. i think i should reconsider it. I really want to thank you both for sharing your personal experience and wanna wish you a very happy, safe and healthy life. May the Almighty ALLAH help us and guide us towards the right path.\nThank you so much.

As an Australian I agree with this. Why should the Arab world help the Jews remove the Palestinians? Anyone that wants the Palestinians to leave Palestine just wants to give Israelis exactly what they want. Why not just come out and say you want Palestinians genocided or completely removed so that Israel can steal the rest of the land?

I am an Australian and have no religious affiliation. I am of the live and let live mentality, as are most Australians. I just don’t want people coming to this country and then tell me how I should live. \nAs you are saying, you don’t want to see how city centres are deteriorating, homelessness, drugs etc etc. instead of running away from that why don’t you try to help? Not force change, but help. Can’t help you with the weather but you are obviously lucky enough to have warmth and shelter. Many don’t.

My husband is from Gaza, all of his extended family was killed and these three months have been the most emotionally depleting, we also found out we are 2 months pregnant alhamdulilah and because we want to make sure the little one gets the islamic education and lives in a safe environment we can't possibly stay in Canada (we live in Vancouver, almost no visible muslims here). I'm a revert from Europe so people get so confused when they see me in hijab, it's uncomfortable and scary. Given the fact that my husband grew up in Gaza, we would like to move somewhere where islamic values are still very strong and people didn't exchange them for Shakira concerts (I think we all know which country i'm talking about) so our safest bet as of now is Kuwait and Qatar. More strongly Kuwait as there's a big Palestinian community. Hope this helps!

Totally danced around the question. The majority of the Palestinians are Muslim & Black, (dark) so the white Arabs, who hold most of the authoritative positions, in Arab countries, who are not the real Arabs, don't want to help them!!!!

(I hope you read this)\nOkay i have a few suggestions, having lived my whole childhood in Oman i can confirm it’s a beautiful place but Arab country's higher education(college wise) is not that great therefore ,my family moved to India(our roots are Indian) because this being a reason. (Like a lot of families move from gulf countries to their south asian countries for college,having personally experienced as well as my cousins who lived in Jeddah and loads of other relatives)\n1. So pls look for muslim countries that offer good education otherwise you will have to send them again to UK USA Canada for good college.\n2. Abu Dhabi can be a option as well\n3. Saudi Arabia\n4.Qatar\n5. Turkey\n6. Schooling works differently in gulf countries, for example you have Indian schools that run on the CBSE pattern of India, Pakistani schools, Sri Lankan schools, International School with a British curriculum, International schools with American style curriculum, proper Native schools of that country that teach in Arabic.( Again this my experience in Oman, my cousins in Jeddah went to Indian school of Jeddah, so pls wisely choose the school that you want your children to attend)\n\n(this comment is just an opinion, hope it helps. May Allah make it easy for you )

Turn around and go back where yall came from because we cant even help our own Americans until we fix that your not welcomed here. Go apply for a visa if you really want to come here.

I wish you the best ?\nWe, (me my husband and my 7 years old girl) live in the UK Kent county BUT for the last year I stayed to think about moving. We are originally from Bulgaria but Turks and came to UK 10 years ago, we just bought our house 3 years ago, basically created everything from scratch. It is bot an easy task to start from the beginning again but I believe that if Allah maid to think about moving that means He will help you.\nAs a hijabi muslim woman in a community that there are not other Muslims around I can say I feel relatively safe BUT some days I notice the look of hatred in n some peoples eyes. The other thing my girl started to question some topics they have been receiving at school and it is a constant battle for me to keep explaining to her the right and wrong. More over she is listening for now but not sure for future and this scares me.\nAs you said praying and being a practicing Muslim is difficult here as well. We are Turks but do not have Turkish nationality but when we go for religious holidays in Istanbul I feel completely different, it just feels like I have to live there near the mosque. My inner me begging me when we are in Istanbul in the old part of the city to stay there forever. \nI really know what you feel and want. I am looking for Muslim countries where possible we can move BUT unfortunately I made the conclusion that there is not a place even in a Muslim land that we can live the way of peaceful practicing and being a Muslim what we want to be. \nJust advise be careful with the Arab world, other than that if you look at Türkiye I would say do your research really well, not in every town there you can live your religion. Azerbaijan is excellent I would say but they are still under the influence of Russia. \nSo really difficult decision, may Allah guide you. Amin

May Allah Subhaanahu Wa Taala protect you guys, may He make this hijra easy for you, may He grant you what you seek, may He make you and your chilren from the ones He loves, Aameen! I am from Pakistan and can't ever imagine leaving my country to go live in foreign lands. Alhamdullilah, I feel very safe here. It is a Muslim country, alhamdullilah, although there is a major class of citizen coming up here who'd like it to be more 'open minded' like the West. May Allah protect us from that day. I would suggest that you move to Saudi Arabia, preferably into or around Makkah or Madinah. I believe that these two are the best cities in the world for Muslims. Imagine saying your five daily prayers in Masjid-e-Haraam or Masjid-e-Nabawi! You kids could study there and grow up speaking and understanding Arabic like Arabs. Imagine the understanding and appreciation they'd have of the Quran and Hadith moreover, they'd be able to reap benefits from the work of all major scholars. InshaaAllah. BUT, on the other hand, you guys are Allah's workers there in Canada. You could do dawah, spread Allah's word (you're doing that beautifully already). You'd be doing what the messengers of Allah did. Think of it this way, if you leave, there'll be one less family supporting Palestine and the Islamic way of life in Canada. Maybe, Allah wants someone like you to represent Him there. Allahu Aalam. There's this beautiful piece of Urdu poetry by Syed Sadiq Hussain, it goes something like this ' Tundi-e-baad-e mukhalif se na ghabraa ae uqaab --- Yeh to chalti hai tujhay ooncha uranay ke liye!' translation:- Do not fear the strength of the head-winds (opposing wind) O' eagle -- it but blows only to help you soar higher! All I'm saying is that there's another way of looking at your dilemma. You guys are like a small, bright light in a dark night and can help lost travelers reach safety. Cheesy, I know. Do Istikhara, let Allah give you His suggestion. Follow it and you can never go wrong innshaaAllah. What ever you decide, our dua'a are with you, uhhibukum fi'llah. Wassalam Wa Rahmah!!

If you want a citizenship I don't suggest you go to any gulf countries, of course ignore any war countries, Malaysia and Indonesia have nice people and I think you can get a citizenship there, Jordan might be a good choice you might be able to get a citizenship and there are diverse groups of people but the economy and civil status laws aren't exactly that great, now Egypt is definitely a choice but the country is kinda drifting off of Islam in the recent years, terrible economic conditions and I don't think a citizenship is possible really, I'm not much aware of the Arab west countries but they have their pros and cons definitely, lots of people there speak other languages and there's some beautiful culture and a considerable amount of political safety compared to other countries in the region, other than the occupation Palestine would've been a great choice lots of foreigners live here but I'm not sure what requirements you need for that and I'm pretty sure they probably wouldn't let you do so as Muslims, I have very little knowledge but I wanted to share what I can, I hope it helps.

Omg, this is exactly the video I needed! I've lived my whole life in America, but my parents immigrated, so sometimes I feel guilty about wanting to leave. I really want to live in a Muslim country, and being from NYC, I love the city so Dubai is the only option I can think of. But I feel like Dubai has changed, I want a place more Islamic. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to travel and explore right now. But I think your videos about the countries you've considered moving to will be super helpful! You guys are giving me so much hope, thank you!

He evaded answering the question. No Arab country wants to accept Palestinians as refugies neither help them in any way.

Canada has a massive hypocrisy that counters their 'inclusive' image. They are in fact more exclusive than most places, and extremely elitist, and discriminatory. Their immigration does not help matters by having a system that is SO insanely classist, that really only rich people can enter, and even then, it may not be enough. I read about a millionaire that was rejected entry, because they had a deaf child! Can you imagine?? So they are also extremely ableist as well, and lacking logic, as a millionaire can obviously afford their own child's medical care, and what does it matter anyway when Canada is supposed to have national health coverage?? So nuts. Yeah, they don't want to own that. They just love to call out the USA, whose immigration rules are FAR more lax than Canada's, or really most countries for that matter. Most people are totally ignorant about how the USA system actually works. Anyone can move to the USA. We let TOO MANY people in. Canada only wants young, rich, successful people to enter their country. Everyone else can just drop dead for all they care, and hey, with the laws about 'voluntary life ending', and how they are grossly encouraging that now for anyone who may be old, depressed, or otherwise 'expendable', what do we expect?

We want to help them, but we don't want them.

Indians like myself have opted out of working at Canada because \n1) It is costly to live here\n2) Canada harbours and provides safe haven to Pakistani and Khalistani terrorists that are a threat to Indians, specially Hindus living there. Their presence is a net negative for any society that wants to live peacefully (Not just for Indians/Hindus). \n3) Healthcare, house help services,real estate are really easy to avail in India. So you're at peace even with lesser pay and can focus your time on doing other things or simply relax.\n\nOne of the kids from our family this year avoided going to Canada for his masters only due to these reasons. Especially the second reason.

Israel is a government. Palestinian people live in a land that they do not govern over. Their cousins and brothers in the Arab world have plenty of money, state of the art building industry and resources to help the Palestinians govern and provide for them selves, but the Arab world wants the land too, they just want the emotional world behind their agenda. He is a fraud.

Then they need tp stop electing and handing their government seats to those who use them as war fodder to further their own wants and start getting behind people who are trying to help them build where they already live

Thanks for this information, l wanted to come as a international students with my family, please help me fulfill my dream, GOD bless you ma

In other words, this guys' country doesn't want to help palestinians, not even if they are dying by the thousands. NO Muslim country wants to help the Palestinians in the way they need, they just want to use the Palestinians to remove the only country with different religion from the area.

Military aid has been allowed, they dont want to help refugees unlike the western world. They will take arabs but arabs wont take their own

Yall here in the comments gotta stop blindly supporting and following “free Palestine”, unless you don’t want to see Israel be a country or exist anymore… then I’d say for you to fully admit you support Hamas/Antisemitism. Stop watching BBC, CNN and following others and do your research about what “free Palestine” ACTUALLY means. Regardless, in the end love and truth will win. Israel and the Jewish people are strong and resilient and have been for years, so keep on painting Israel to be this big bad monster and feeding that narrative. It’s not helping anything or anyone.

We all know the pallistian does not want to leave there land this is obvious but what the Arab wourld is doing to help them except for making friends with the zionest and leaving the people of palistine to fend for themselves so much killing and yet the Arab world is not doing anything to help ?????

If you want an amazing history podcast about the entirety of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict from the 1800’s to 2016, I absolutely recommend “Fear And Loathing In Jerusalem”. It’s a very thorough history and is about as non partisan as you can get on this issue. I really leaned a lot and it helped open my eyes to the entirety of this mess.

His answer sounds really good but the question is 'HOW TO STOP THE KILLING?' which he did not answer. They just do not want to help the palestinians either

The Arab world are using the Palestinian people as martyrs. They won't take them in as refugees because they don't want to deal with the economic and social outcomes that EU and US have with asylum seekers. But they also don't won't to help them fight either. They will sit there and watch Palestinians boil in a pot. Then blame Israel when they are done, and do nothing to help. Some pals. Even Iran with the most to gain will do nothing, because they don't care about Palestinians just regional power.

No arab wants to help palestine ???.

The man is lying. They simply don't want to help the Palestinians period

They don’t want to help ? \nIs that what Allah would do??

No Muslim country is doing anything to help them. A number have helped and supported Hamas resulting in recent events. The Palestinians elected Hamas and celebrated the events of Oct 7th. Hamas and Palestine want Israel gone because it is Jewish. \n\nAny number of Muslim countires could open their borders and give the Palestinians temporary refuge - but they refuse. \n\nHamas could face Israel in open combat away from the Palestinians but they won’t. They want them as tv propaganda and collateral damage and human shields.\n\nFact.

If he noticed none of the Arab world wants Palestinians in their country. Why isn't anybody asking why not. You wanna help the Palestinians get rid of Hamas help them by reeducation and help rebuild Gaza in their infrastructure maybe temporarily take some of them into your country. But it seems like most Arab countries around the area of Israel are terrified to take Palestinians into their country. In fact Egypt itself re fortified its border crossing to prevent Palestinian Arabs from entering their country.

Why don't they want to help?

If all they want is to live in their land,\nWhy would they open a war?\nIf you start a war and can't bit the enemy,\nIt is obviousl that you will lose lands and lives...\nIt is not the juish people that are mersles,\nIt is the palastinians ho start a war against a way to strong enemy and then start running to the world asking for help

So basically you don't want to help them

So basically, no. They don’t want to help

Even Arab world do not want Palestinians, why is Europe and others taking them. Help them with Aid, guns etc.

about the work policy , I really like Canada, bc every one worked. Back home if u have something like peeper works , you went in the office the workers who is working in the office they keep you long plus you have to go back and forth so many times one day works takes so many days, because the won't u to give them money if you want your peper work done, every one work in the office or somewhere is bribery. Or you have to know some one who is working in that place, altogether the true is Canada if u go any office , just waiting your line and when is your tren and they will help you,

Di i am a fresher but want to move to canada so how can i find jobs over there i have no idea how can i so plz help me

Such an insincere question, as if they want to help Palestinians. They just to cleanse them from Gaza.

This guy is lying . The prince of Saudi Arabia is just telling him to lie in public when they interview him but the reality is that Saudi Arabia doesn’t care at all of Palestine he still want to have relations with Israel and he is just waiting for the war to end even one of his close worker saying in public that the conflict of Israel -Hamas didn’t slow them to continue with the agreement of peace cause the prince of z Saudi Arsbia wants yo tele some Israelis to work for him in Saudi Arabia and I feel sorry for him if he fulfill his wishes cause he doesn’t know how in the reality Israelis are and if they go to work in Saudi Arabia they are gonna do the same think they did in Palestine the prince doesn’t know the kind of scorpions will take to his country and that makes mi happy for him to pay for not helping Palestine . We all pay in this life for all the bad deeds we do before we die and still the judgement with Allah.

They want the Palestinians to be suffering so they can attack Israel that’s why they won’t help.

Look! I respect life,\nAnd I want Palistine to live in peace in there own land, and have a good life and a good future, for the Palistinians children to grow in a peaceful world.\nAnd Israel also needs to know! That Israel can live in peace with the Palistinians as neighbours!\nThe weight can be lifted!\nThe killing can be stopped,\nBut this won't stop! Without the help! of the Arab world leaders and the Israeli leaders,\nTo stop the killings, to live in peace, to live in there own lands with dignity, with safety security on there lands!\nIt's time for peace talks on both sides, with Israel leaders, and the Arab world leaders, The humanitarian thing is peace talks, let's stop talking around the bush! and get things done!\nIt's time to swollow the pride! and revengeful hate on both sides and push for peace talks,\nBefore we have no lives to save!

Seems like the Arab world doesn't want to actually do anything to help.

one problem, this is not their land. Palestine is Judaea , and they arejudean Arabs. that’s all and he knows that he’s lying, it’s just that none of them need these Arabs and he doesn’t want them on his land and he doesn’t want to help them either?

That is exactly what they want. Is for other Arab countries to help clear out the Palestinians from their land.

His answer is NO.\nAnd it sounds like he is fine letting everyone that wants out now too stay because it would be better if there was not war... But there is war.\nTruth is the southern border with egypt is full of people trying to flee gaza. I am sure they want to come back but right now this man's ideology doesn't help anyone living in reality
