Go to South Africa! Beautiful place, great Muslim community - and Alhamdullilah the country that had the courage to stand for justice

Thank you for your honesty, it warms my heart to see that there is people like you in this world, our government is a colonial supporter of genocide and I'm also trying to decide what country to go to, that stands for freedom and true human rights. Love you guys

Mr. & Mrs Saleh, Congratulations and I salute you for having the fortitude and courage to take a stand and for making this decision. I fully support you. I was born and raised in Canada (Montreal /Ottawa) to Haitian immigrants and I decided to permanently leave Canada in 2021 with my family for many of the same reasons you conveyed. I wish you all the best in shaping your own path. Unfortunately, Canada ceased being a country a long time ago. It is now nothing but a memory. ♥️

So running away like a coward from a tyrannical government is the answer?\nHow about standing up and fighting for a great country??

The economic situation int the whole world is still worse and getting worser. If people alredy settled to cannada with their family for some time and already build their life, they should face the situation. for such a group of people it´s still not easy to leave and rebuild theier life again. It need much ressources and flexibility. especially for families. For those who stand allone, there are also no guarantue that it brings satisfaction. every country has his pro and cons. So it´s not an easy decision for everybody. So think of the pros and cons of the destination first, before leaving.

It stands to reason that being a Muslim has to be easier in a Muslim country. Multiculturalism has been tried for several decades in many if not all western countries and has never really worked and it’s not getting better, if anything it is becoming more problematic. Maybe it would be better for everyone to start returning people who don’t believe in western values, benefits, freedoms and opportunities, to places where they have the same belief system.

I find it telling that no Arab country wants to help other Arabs...they can not even stand eachother. One group fights another...but then they make it everybody elses problem.

Meanwhile hes taking meetings with usa an watching them attack close to his border with yemen. Smaller arab countries are taking a stand while saudi a super power sits an watches

Same stand for the persecuted minority in Muslim countries?

Wassalam, brother. ??\n\nMalaysia indeed stands out as the optimal choice among Muslim countries for a quality life. With its Sunni majority and 99.99% Muslim population among the native 22 million Malays, there's religious freedom for other faiths, though discussions about Islam require careful consideration. The strong bonds among Muslims, despite diverse races, foster a sense of unity. ❤❤\n\nMaking a living as a Muslim native English speaker in Malaysia is ideal, offering opportunities in madrasah, tahfiz for Islamic education, and other activities. Special skills are welcomed for employment, and a salary range of RM5k-10k, particularly with Canadian-based companies, is considered sufficient. Yet you can ask for more, RM15k-70k should you have reasonable qualifications. \n\nFor a comfortable living setup in Malaysia, having around CAD100k (RM350k) for a family of four can sustain a decent lifestyle for 2-3 years. The future holds great promise in various aspects, making Malaysia a compelling choice. ????

I lived in Pakistan for 5 years for medical school. As much as I appreciated it, I knew I could not settle there. You will appreciate all the little things once you move. You can get ripped off by utilities company over there. Unless you know someone in power you don’t stand a chance. The inflation there is much higher than here. Some days you can’t find any meat or other foods. Almost everyone is trying to rip you off. Also safety is an issue. I was young and dumb. I was never targeted but it happens to locals all the time. As a westerner they can spot you a mile away even if you dress like them. You’re complaining about the cold, wait till you feel the heat. Electricity goes out all the time. You need to know people and have family in these countries. You can’t get things done independently like you can in the west. Also there are very few jobs that allow for the standard of living you are used to. If you are willing to sacrifice 90% of what you have now then you might have a chance. Lastly, you will most likely have to put your children in an American school when you get there because they don’t speak the language and they will act like westerners. And hide your wife from YouTube for God’s sake. If you had a billion dollars would you broadcast it to the world?

What are you expecting?\nThis video is Hypocrisy When you go to a western country you have to assimilate with western culture.\nYou have to learn to live with church bells ringing not Azan!\nGreat you are leaving!\nYour parents were lucky they were given residency in the West then all of you used the social benefits \nBoth of you i believe hold Canada passpots ,that is a n Asset already!\n\nThere is no visible target in the west,it is exaggerated!\nMy families in Canada are free to practice their religion wear their ethenic clothes which they do all the time.\n\n\nEvery middle eastern ,pakistan i have met ,his primary goal is to be US SWEDEN ITALY NORWAY.\nWhst Genocide?\nWhat did Abbas do to fellow muslims he gassed childern women babies\nWhat about Sudan it is Genocide.\n\nMy thoughts are you should go to Middle east help Gazans,Syria ,Sudanese\nThen back to your home country Pakistan.\nYour neighbour India is another very good option to live.\nPlease give up your Canada residency if you stand by what you believe!

Yes he is right they should stay their country ❤❤❤❤ we have to stand and help any mean , anyhow

I don’t agree for the No1 reason;like Canada no Arab country is standing for the reason you are saying the main reason for leaving. \nButs yes you may leave for all the other reasons.

As Palestine im dispointed in our Arab brothers but we learn oue real brothers are South Africa who stood up and sacrificed there country to charge Israel in International court. We are forever grateful of South Africa and Africa for supporting and standing behind us. We have Nelson Mandela statue in Palestine as sign of respect

very nice couple... so well assimilated.... perfect english... and practically finishing each others thoughts.... I don't necessarily agree with their conservative politics... but their last stated reason which is the number one reason... is understood by me as an offense even something more basic than anything religious, it is pre-religous and core to any empathetic golden rule of humanity, it is a complete human rights violation... and I am afraid that at the international level no government can be formed unless moderates from conservatives and non-conservatives, can compromise on basic issues... but the core issues including the current human rights issue and current indictment of genocide, has no compromise.... how can we compromise on genocide? Not possible. Israel left no room for compromise. We are on the brink of a regional war in the middle-east... and Canada doesn't recognize Palestine because it is a Zionist government. Islam has a low standing in pro-Zionists countries. Why is that? We need to investigate. Ultimately we need international law governance to protect against genocide and ethnic cleansing, and illegal use of weapons of mass destruction. And we needed this after WW2, but we still don't have it. There is no world government, just allies, and axis powers, and shadow governments.

If a country opens its borders to Palestinian refugees, they facilitate Israel’s objective of flattering Gaza and ethically cleansing the land to allow for further expansion and illegal settlement. Israel want to get rid of Palestine and all its people, chasing them out and killing those who are too slow. By standing their ground, the Arab world are forcing the west to see what they have supported and see what Israel are doing and encouraging them to change and to act and to stop the genocide. But it is also at the expense of tens of thousands of lives and an entire nations facilities. The Arab world are letting the bodies pile high until the west can't look away any more. I understand both sides of this and dislike both options, letting Palestinians die, and letting Israel take Gaza by accepting refugees. I can't say I support Saudi Arabias actions, but I also would feel the same if they opened their doors to refugees. Neither one are the right solution, and only we westerners can make this stop. And believe me, I am trying to do my part. I have signed. I have shared. I have donated. I have protested. And I will continue to do so until there is a free Palestine

Even though evil is trying to spread and the world has been watching this barbarism...people are always waking up. The many victims that these unimaginable atrocities have claimed so far (not just now, but over the last few decades) will not have died in vain. The world will wake up. A disgrace in God's eyes are the so-called Muslim countries that stand by instead of rushing to help their brothers and sisters. they too will be defeated. The tide will turn and evil will be wiped out\n\n\n\n​

Expect higher prices for everything. Less food, medicine and places to live. More crime. America is slowly becoming a third world country. We all stand separated by opinions. The lack of nationalism is our weakness. Get ready for your city to become a dystopian nightmare.

I e considered so many times to leave to another country. I really dislike winter. I can’t stand any cold below 50* degrees. Living paycheck to paycheck is no joke especially when I don’t get pay on bc of payroll mess up. Having high level\nof stress and food is GMO. I believe living in a tropical climate is better where I can grow my own food and be outdoor enjoying nature. Unfortunately we don’t have job or the financial freedom to make such moves. Good luck ❤

I love Canada , sorry to bust your bubble, but life isn’t golden everywhere you go, people come here, generally, because they couldn’t stand where they were living, and were unhappy, and for some reason expected us to be heaven. The world is difficult everywhere today, if you think Canada is the only expensive country in the world you’re fooling yourself. Go live in some country with a far less appealing, political climate, or no natural resources and dictatorship governments if it’s cheap. Have fun.

We fought for this civilized country. Yo people,you need to go back and fight for your own free from tyranny. GO BACK HOME AND STAND T.F. UP!!

I want to move out of the US for the same reason. Mainly the government stand on the genocide. Soon as I’m able to I’m out. I don’t have a family yet but Insha’Allah I’ll be able to have that in another country. May Allah bless this couple and their family.

which country is not complicit in this genocide? please point me to it? arab/muslims countries are more silent and complicit than Canada...at least in Canada we have the freedom to protest...In Saudia you can't even make a dua about Palestine without being arrested! Good luck finding a country that stands against this Genocide. The whole world is SILENT!

Muslims think they can bring their stupid religion to any country they go to. If they keep to themselves I don’t mind, but that’s as far as I can stand them.

As a native Canadian I totally understand your stand on winter and inflation. As a native Canadian I think we don't inform immigrants and outsiders that winter climate does to alot of people. There is a seasonal affective disorder (very prevelent) in my father's family and even my mother unfailing optimism get's like you fatigue at the very least. Kids love winter but yes as a adult or even a teen many people retreat and feel isolated. As for inflation, I do hope you find a country where the gouvernement(s) aren't denying the insanity that is going on. To be honest, after centuries of being a Quebec native, I have fantasized very heavily about moving myself because even with a good salary things each year since Covid-19 have become just terribly expensive and it affect primarily basic shelter and food needs. It's absurd! Good luck on your way settling where ever you will!

Take a STAND and Fight in Your Own Country. Stop running and address YOUR COUNTRIES Issues. All is not what You believe in the US. US has it's own issues that needs to be dealt with.

Strange. It's not just happening in Canada alone. European countries aren't that stable anymore. Indonesia or Malaysia is ok bearable, Pakistan is going through some massive changes and would need another 10 years to become stable and they way Turkiye is standing for Palestine I think wars will start in these regions. I would advise to move to Dubai, Qatar or Ireland.

You guys are so inspirational. We need more Muslims like you who will uproot their lives for the sake of their brothers and sisters in Palestine. I live in aMiddle Easternt country, and it may not support the genocide, but its nonchalance is not something I can stand anymore. I am moving to Kazakhstan next year. You guys should try Qatar or Kuwait.

The sad thing is not all Muslim majority/Arab (though Palestine is not religious issue and pertains only to Muslims) countries openly stand with Palestine. Many of them are quiet for their own gain (Political or otherwise) And staying quiet is sometimes just as bad.

Just remember wherever you guys pick make sure that they speak the same dialect that you do otherwise you're going to have that learning curve of learning their dialects. It is different in a lot of places like learning to speak like the yemeni do is different than the Pakistani. So just keep that in mind. My grandfather is from Yemen and his wife who is my grandmother and my dad's side is from sudan. And they used to tell me it took them a while to understand each other. My Syrian grandmother on my mom's side would teach me words and phrases and my grandpa who was from Yemen would always make fun of me because I wasn't saying stuff right. I'm not really good at speaking Arabic but I can get by so just remember when you guys are picking somewhere to pick a place that won't be that hard to understand people. I'm only saying that because with the kids you guys send the kids to school they may learn a different dialect than what you taught at home and it will be a learning curve for them to try to understand. But I'm sure you guys will make the right decision. I just figured I would throw that in there I'm sure you already know that the dialects are a lot different and Arabic is a lot different in different parts of the world. People think Arabic is all the same and it's really different. Just like people who speak Spanish in South America speak different dialects on the Puerto Ricans just like people in Brazil don't speak Spanish they speak portuguese. Just a thing to think about. Egypt seems to be a pretty good place I have family that live in Egypt and they really liked it but I'm sure you guys will pick a place that's wonderful for your family and I can't wait till you guys know when we can see everything that you guys are doing in your new home Korean and I totally understand I am so upset the United States took the stand that they did with the genocide in Gaza and in the occupied West bank. People don't understand exactly what's going on there they don't know if they're not really up on current events and don't have any people in their family who are from a Muslim country they don't really know what's been going on. Anyway I hope you guys make the right decision for your family I know that you guys will pick the best place

From a 12 year old girl, who wanted to explore London, study in UK and constant and full heartedly prayers... I came to UK when I was 27... But I had to face a new me here.. after my course completion, where I stand now, and still having the opportunity to continue here . I decided to choose a middle eastern country .. most importantly for my Imaan and my child's good upbringing. Though I get questioned from everyone around here for choosing to leave this country, I know what I want.. and I need what I seek.. Allah has answered my prayer and gave me the chance to be here and he also gave me all the lessons for me to understand what I need and I chose to leave UK. So proud of my decision

Even though I became Muslim only since mid March, I’ve been considering making the Hijra to a Muslim country Insha’Allah. I can’t relate to living in cold weather conditions being in Southern California, but I can relate to everything else. \n\nI’m not married. Insha’Allah one day I will. But I think about the safety my wife will have going out in public in her hijab. Insha’Allah I’ll have kids and I wonder about the indoctrination going on in society. \n\nBut the biggest thing for me is living in the US and knowing that whoever is in charge will endorse genocide. And for a country that prides itself on free speech, yet we see that speech being limited when it comes to standing up for what’s right. I actually had a feeling that was going to be your number one reason before you got to it.\n\nI can’t make this happen right now but Insha’Allah in the next few years, be able to work on it so it can happen.

We are Muslim Egyptian family, living in Berlin. we are considering the same move. same reasons almost exactly. I would advice you to check these countries in our list\n\n- Spain (mainly Barca); Weather, HUGE Muslim heritage, great stand against the genocide in Palestine, easier language to learn for english speakers.\n- Qatar (mainly Doha): Palestine, weather (a bit hot though), living quality, Muslim economic powerhouse.

Salam to all! I would love to see where you guys pick. My husband and I are also considering other countries. Would love to see videos on how life expense is residential requirements to become a permanent resident of that particular country. education where it stands if the children were to leave that country and come back into the States. If you guys can elaborate on these topics, it would be so useful for those who are attempting to go to the same countries. What would be some financial friendly international home schooling programs that may be parents can enroll in until they are settled permanently in the country of their choice. JAK may Allah make this journey easy for your family and bless your family with the best of both worlds for your intention.

MashaAllah, u guys r such an amazing couples and parents. I know this is not an easy decision, but Allah is with u and I really stand and look up to u. Every parent knows what is best for their children and families. I live in Pakistan 2. Me and my brother were born in US to Pakistani parents. My mom didn't want to leave US but my dad said there is no religious environment there plus our whole family lives in Pakistan and didn't want us to grow there. Our apartment owner who was Christian was not letting us go. He said that u guys r such an amazing people, good Muslims, nice to everyone and take Care for everyone. It was really hard for both of my parents but Allah made it easy for us. My mom passed away when I was 18 and my brother 15 and I really miss her. My option is u can guys move to Pakistan. U can get Islamic education + Islamic environment. No matter how bad our politics, government doesn't care about Its own country and no cleanliness but I still love Pakistan. I really respect you guys for making such a hardest decision with strength. I really support you guys with this decision. Just don't mind I was just giving an advice that Pakistan is way better but it is totally up to u guys which country u like to make your better life. But where ever u guys go, u are all always in my prayers even our brothers and sisters in Gaza. May Allah bless u all with his blessings, protect your family from evil eyes, fill your life with joy, happiness,love and peace and May Allah make this journey and life easy for u and hereafter. ❤ Your family and especially your little kids

I respect your decision to leave Canada. You have to do what is right for you and your family. I am not religious but I believe that all peoe have the right to believe as they choose. I also find that Islam is one of the most peaceful, loving religions there is. I too am very unhappy with my government for standing by and supporting the genocide of Palastine. I support President Biden and he has done many wonderful things but the support Israel by my government and president makes me infuriated. It is wrong. My now 19 year old son,my mother who lives with us and myself are looking to move as well. We want some place with winter so we can sky, and snowboard and do all things we love without having to travel two states over. We will be looking to leave the country if Trump is reelected president. I wish you luck, love, and blessings and safe travels in your search for your new home.

Yes stopping war and aid for suffering people is necessary .very true.\n*But at least why can't yu take few* vulnerable population inside,there are so many middle east countries and the **rest people staying can safeguard their land \n*Why yu cant yu stand against hammas like yu stand against Israel.\n*Jews and judiasm existed right before 70 BC ,they are the origin of Palestine right from beginning and they were named as Palestine by Romans empire .although many Jews who migrated out during Roman empire ,came back during British rule ,there were Jews right there from beginning in Palestine and Jews are ancestors to Christians which originated * 1 st century and ** Islam which originated 7 th century .we need to accept first both ISRAEL AND PALESTINE has the right to exist.only peace can bring this on either sides.All cultures ,all religions have Their \nRights.

Why don't the Saudi's refuse to sell oil to the Americans, as a form of support to the Palestinians. It's the countries with resources that need to stand up for the Palestinians

As from India we stand with the Israel??. The 1948 peel commission gave most of their land to arabs but they refused it they want whole of Israel and genocide of Israeli population no way any country will stand with this hamas terrorist attack.. We unite with ?? . Peel comission 1948, 1970 the 1993summit in every chance arab had they refused 2 state solution so it's their agenda don't fall for it

It's tough after a pandemic and a fews wars happenings and still going on these days.\nIs it Just Canada that has this problems? \nIf a rich country like Canada has such a problem, i don't know how others Country stands.\nMy relatives in Cambodia told me chicken over there cost more than where i am now. This is before the pandemics ,What a surprise..

This is DISGUSTING, AND UNACCEPTABLE. \nHOW DARE THEY....\nGO HOME YOU CREEPS....\nI can't stand Islam or anything associated with it now.\nHow dare they come, into our country and poison our dogs.\nLots of them need dirt naps...

The palestinians are being oppressed and being a regime and a muslim country it is your responsibility to either aid them in the war or give them refuge - the women and children cant do anything against the opressors. muslim world should take the refugees in and provide them with best care. let the people who have iman in their heart stand their ground and fight but they have to take the women, children and the elderly in

Answer: No, we do not want Hamas or Hezbollah. Let them stay where they are. Egypt withdrew from Gaza, Jordan withdrew from West Bank because they couldn’t stand Iran meddling using both terrorist groups. No Arab country wants that problem.

This is for everyone who resides in India…..do something for your country any thing little….it starts from home………I am not joking ….even before modi ji launched swatch Bharat abhiyaan ….I used to fight people on trains , railway stations ,,bus stands to keep it clean……so please any little effort adds to the strength of our country…..and one more thing please stop judging people…..love Bharat….

This is exactly why the east needs to stand up together. West has been done this for years, act as a group to take advantage on East, African countries.\n\nRussia, China, Saudi and India. It's time for us to say no now.

He avoided mentioning that Hamas broke a long standing truce and that the Palestinians are suffering because of that. I agree with what he said though. There is concern that if they leave, they won’t be able to come back and Egypt doesn’t want Hamas terrorists in their country. No one wants these fools. All these factors are well known and their plan was designed with these considerations. They figured the odds were on their side and the world would feel sorry for the human shields. It’s almost working…

In the end it all depends on both the kids AND the parents. If they genuinely bring the parents over for the parents own sake its WONDERFUL, BUT....the truth is, that the cost of living in these countries is so high AND, the kids want to attain and maintain a certain standard of living, that BOTH husband and wife NEEDS to go out to work..and what happens is that they end up USING the parents only for babysitting, cooking cleaning etc.... AND for their PENSIONS.... But they're given no respect. So its up to the parents also. BCZZ they're SO vital to the survival of the family unit...they have that power to stand up for themselves and get the respect they deserve. But the thing is, indian parents are martyrs.....they will suffer AND complain...but they will never abandon their kids and let them suffer....so that cycle of misery and disrespect never breaks.... and the situation never changes. The best thing is for the parents to get that pension and go back home every six mths, and at least enjoy some of their life. Sad but true.???

saudi minister is a genius. saudi has poor relations with palestine, so they don't want to take them in. he could have openly condemned hamas but he cant do it as OIC will take notice and condemn saudi for not standing up to islamic country. they could send soldiers and weapons to hamas but that would make saudi look like they are supporting terrorists which means people wont buy their oil. so it was pretty easy to blame the whole thing on israel and say ' we dont take enemies into our soil and we will let israel handle it'. in other words, terrorists are bad for bunesiness

We have way too many immigrants now. Immigration will destroy a countries heritage and culture. Canadians need to stand up against immigration and send them all away. We were a great country before everyone wanted to come here and take advantage of it
