Tha fact you Muslims makes you biased but you need to understand that you need to educate yourself and connect to reality. You might be moderate but most of the hatred in the world, most fundamentals, most terror groups, most kidnappes, attacks,. illiteracy etc. Are all tied to Islam and Islamic communities. Islamic groups educate their kids for segregation and hate from breast feeding age. This is just a fact. I wish you well, I really do.

I'm sorry to hear that you wish to leave Canada. I understand the problem with winters. I think inflation is a world problem that you can not escape. I don't believe that the government is doing anything more than trying to be inclusive to all of the 'others' of our society but then I am an old man living in a very isolated place. My children were raised Muslim but not of the 5 prayers a day. My disappointment with the Canadian government's and opposition's stance regarding the genocide in Gaza is huge and it is the best reason you have given. Canada as with Germany in Namibia has its own problems living up to the genocides we have committed in the past. If you go to Malaysia I hope you become sensitive to the 'others' that live in that country.

So, maybe you understand, why Jews want to have their own, litte state.

I understand your concerns being a muslim myself. May Allah Swt guide you to make the right decision as your intentions are good. Ask for His guidance. In Sha Allah He will guide you. From Johannesburg South Africa

I have been in US for 20 years and can understand the experience that you are sharing. Frankly, countries like US and Canada are not for people who can’t do some basic things on their own. \nPeople leave their families and comfort of their home and come to these countries either to earn money, eventually have a good quality life or to provide a good quality education for their kids. If you don’t have a reason good enough to make that move and keep the option of running back home on facing little hardship then there is no way you can live in these countries. Forget about going and living in other countries you can’t even go and live in another state within India. Do you think it’s easy for a North Indian to go and live in South (or vice versa) where they encounter language and culture barriers? \nYou were in much much better situation as you already had PR and didn’t have to go through stress of handling uncertainty on your visa situation based on job.\nTrust me it takes few years for you to get adjusted to new environment, culture, people, food etc. But, as you spend more and more time in these countries you get more accustomed to way of living here and then you become so comfortable with it that you don’t want to go back at all.\nDon’t want to judge anyone but I guess in your case at your age with family already settled in India you didn’t have a solid enough reason to get out of your comfort zone and give time to get used to such big transition in your life

So let me understand, you now have made tons of money in canada and now you are going to travel.....

I can understand your frustration with Canada, but honestly it sounds like you won't be happy anywhere in the west. Good luck.

I dun understand why they(the western countries) rather give refugee and asylum in the mass but make us educated Singaporean hard to migrate if we no money or specialized skills.\n\nThey rather have clashes with muslim migrants than half westernised singaporeans who would mind our own business. ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

What a stupid question. It's unbelievable that some western journalists actually believe that is a legitimate question. It's quite actually baffling that you begin to wonder whether it's a lack of understanding of the situation or simply a racist mindset that engenders all this

I feel you should move to where you feel comfortable as quickly as possible. I don't understand why the clip, do you need validation for your decision?

Thank you so much for this useful information. I don't understand why the housing crisis is happening in Canada and Australia as well. The population didn’t change too much compared to the pre-COVID. Where are those houses?

He's right the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip shouldn't be forced to leave their land that has been theirs for a very long time. Even though the Israeli government removed the Jews from the Gaza Strip against their free will in 2005, who had lived in the Gaza Strip for long time themselves. In 2006 a year later the Hamas came into power by killing off their opponents and rivalry. We don't want the Gaza or even the West Bank to become another Syria where millions of Syrians were forced from their homes and country because of the Civil War going there. So I understand what that Arab Saudi is talking about. ?

Congratulations!! I totally understand, me as well

As an American I am pleased that you've made this decision. Islamic values are TOTALLY incompatible with the West and I'm sure you'll be happy in any Muslim country. Muslims always had assimilation issues with the west and will continue to have, no matter how much a muslim tries to adjust to western values (which muslims actually don’t try anyways). We all can understand your plight Muslims. Your support for Palestine tells it all. I've heard the azaan go off in Dubia on the same street as a Discotheque, meaning they are adjacent to each other. I'm sure this isn’t hypocrisy.

I quite agree with some of your points, although your understanding of Canada may be a bit naive. I am also a photographer and am studying for a master's degree in design. However, Australia plans to ruthlessly kick out graduates who are over 35 years old. This is why I have to consider finding a job in Canada after graduation. I also think Canada’s natural landscape is far better than Australia’s. The very decent deciduous trees are every visual worker’s dream.

You say that your tolerant, but it doesn't really sound like it. \n All your doing is going back to a country that understands your religion, and your values.

Please reconsider your decision to move to a new country. It's crucial to understand that, despite seeming alignment with your beliefs, these countries often have significant issues with freedom of speech and prevalent discrimination. Your children might struggle with the loss of certain freedoms and grow up resenting this decision.

You are not the only one complaining about Canada. I think first of all, we have to understand that we had been living in a peaceful world for the past few decades in contrast with the world just after world war two, and every young people had been living in comfort during their whole life. The last few years had changed, and if the world leaders didn't control the situation very carefully, we might be living in a world war not surprisingly. The inflation we are having is worldwide as a result of the pandemic, and because we have this rising inflation, the world had changed, it would have been worst if there is a world war going on at the moment. So this high cost of living is happening everywhere, and some places are even worst if they are having a war. If you think Canada is bad, name a place that is better than Canada and live there. I doubt if you can find another place better than Canada even with all your complaints. Do more research and you will appreciate that you are one of the lucky ones living in Canada. If you do not agree, I invite you to make another video telling me your findings. We are just in a bad cycle, just wait till the cycle ends, and we will see the sun shining again.

Canada gives empty promises for better life. Most people fall for this worldwide. Once you reach Canada, you will understand all it wants your money that you will bring it from your own country and after that it will throw you in a trash can. Canada is a barren country with no jobs and housing crisis and winter is harsh and brutal. Most of its northern regions are empty and soulless.

You have really given an excellent review of Canada. You have shown a reality of life here. I wish people understand the struggle and also benefits and hardwork here. Good job. Keep it up ??

I had an opportunity for work for Aramco in Saudi Arabia about ten years ago and I was offered about $200K without tax. The thought of my wife and three girls wearing the outer islamic garment (abaya?) was a complete no go for my family and decided to turn down the offer. Every country is not for everyone. I hope Saleh family can find a place where they can practice their religion peacefully. Even though Islamic values are more aligned with conservative party principles, I don't understand why would muslim community wholeheartedly support liberals and their degenerate principles.

Salam Alaikum, best of luck to you both. Your position is understandable. Ignore all the islamophobe troll haters in the comments, it’s like the comments section brings out the worst in humanity. None of these haters would have to balls to say any of this to your face, bunch of cowards.\n\nI’m personally loving Turkey a lot. Willing to learn the language to. Not that difficult for a native Urdu speaker

I understand the consequences of removing Palestinians from their own land, so if that cannot be done, how about neighbouring Arab nations standing alongside and helping then? Do they really not care, or are they too worried about protecting themselves? Now that the US and UK are bombing Yemen (again), and destruction has taken place in Lebanon, how much more will Israel, the US and UK be allowed to encroach in the region before a push-back happens?

I have family in Canada, and there are pros & cons of being there, and yes, weather & inflation are two important factors. There are Muslim communities in Canada, but it all depends where you’re at. I do understand the prevalent anti Muslim attitude/atmosphere, I live in the US and there are certain areas where I would not feel safe declaring my religion and having my wife & daughter wearing hijab, it’s sad, but we as Muslims in North America have to act as the pioneers and make our fellow Americans understand better our religion & our view points regarding the political & religious differences we have.

I fully understand your decision and reasons for moving away from Canada. \nHowever, you could have expressed your choices and opinions on a forum meant for Muslims, who can benefit from it, or ask you questions. \nBy putting it in this platform and insulting the people of this country is very irresponsible. Or was that your intention! \nI as a Muslim am not given the right to demean any culture or religion. \nYou are so young right now. You may realize as you grow and learn that tolerance and acceptance of others as they are will bring you a lot of peace.

Islamic environment don't quite understand that one wonder if saud Arabia has a Christian environment

As a Chinese Canadian, I hear you. They've been doing it to the Muslims since well beforer 2001. And now that China is an economic threat to US and Western hegemony, they are doing it to China. I'm glad the anti imperialists understand this. Solidarity with the Muslims from China and ethnic Chinese everywhere.

I can understand your feelings, as I can also see what is going on here in Ontario, the moral values have totally gone down and still going down.....but the prices are going up and keeps on going up. We are all getting screwed big time......

I don’t begin to understand your issues around your religion, but I respect your decision … being an Alpha white man, and a Christian has become very very difficult in this society as well. sure, the economy is soft, the growth of Canada is limited, we have a socialistic government, and many more negatives around Canada. This is why I have chosen to live in Canada only 5 to 6 months a year. This is the maximum I can truly stand. the culture is so materialistic and so pro woke. It is a nasty environment to bring up a family now. Anyway, may God go with you and keep your family safe.

As a born and raised Canadian I made the decision to flee my homeland of 42 years the moment that the current regime came to power in 2015. I ended a highly successful, well-paid 20+ year career, sold everything I owned and was gone within six months. I am not a religious person, so that did not factor into my decision, though I knew what was coming since I had lived for years as a member of a minority that was constantly demonized by former Liberal rulers for decades.\n\nI completely understand your reasons for leaving and wish you all the best. Canada was a great place to grow up in and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world, but to say that it is now going through a process of state-funded and engineered societal decay would be an extreme understatement. It breaks my heart to see what's become of my once wonderful nation, but I've resolved to treat it like a deceased parent who lives on in fond memories, but is never coming back.\n\nI hope you find the ideal sanctuary for you and your children away from the madness plaguing the world these days and I am eager to see where your journey takes you. Best wishes.

What I do not understand properly is the issue with opportunity & places for praying as a reason...

I understand please spread the word

I'm not sure if you two speak well! You are not born Muslims, it seems to me. I haven't figured it all out yet. If you want to be great Muslims, you should go live in Islamic countries. And only then will you understand how much better the West is for living. I personally think it is best for you to move to Spain. There you have warmth and the best food in the world and you also have Islam.

As a non-Muslim Canadian, I fully understand your decision and I hope all Muslim families in Canada do the same. NO Islamic environment in Canada you say! We Christians say thank GOD your going!

I understand what your saying but CANADA is a still peaceful country. Just follow your religion and teach your children what you believe and value. Kids run around freely just move to a better neighborhood or city .

My respects, totally understandable . I will suggest go south america, beautiful people and beautiful countries.

Enjoy. I love Canada, outdoor activities, freedom of thought, and Not living in a muslim country (though I've visited Malaysia for a month once as a white women non muslim and the call to prayer all day I can understand being very very cool)\nBorn here, will not run away unless im in immediate danger \nGood luck and i think living where your values align is much more resoectable than coming here ans trying ro change it

Is clear that you don t understand what is freedom!!!So fer'well but sorry for your girls...

Totally understandable decision. I find lots of aspects of Muslim and Western values to be fully incompatible with one-another and everyone deserves to be safely be part of a community that shares similar values.

I understand my friend move back because she wasn’t allow to have a bible in a Muslim country.. she wasn’t able to wear her cross.

I wish i could muslim country too and enjoy all the privileges i have. I am a a Queer muslim and it was not easy. I am very appreciative of the opportunity that is given to me in the west and not being judged at a work place how i may appear. I am glad you made this video and making the best decision for your family. Even as queer peeson i am supporting drag queen story tiem but you made it sound like it is happening every library and every where. I only read it in news paper and never actually saw it in reality. Leaving Canada doesn't do anything for supporting for Palestinians. You could have used your voice and voting power in support of Palestinians. I do understand it may be best for your children. Again i wish i had what you have.

Assalamu alaikum! I definitely understand and feel the same way. We are here escaping from the US! But anyway, I would suggest Turkey or if you prefer warm weather, there is Tanzania.

I can understand very well that muslim people leave Canada. Canada is not an Islamic country. They must have known this fact. Either the Muslims adapt to the local conditions and culture, or they stay in an Islamic country where they fit in better.

As an immigrant to Australia, I don't understand why people migrate to another country and then start complaining.

If you are 2 white kids playing dress up, I doubt you can handle Gaza, these kids now days don't understand how the world really is, think everyone is so nice and sweet.

Thank god another couple is gone who don't realize how good they have it here. Glad you have come to an understanding that that not all places will cater to just one religion.

This is actually a cop out for an answer. it is the responsibility of neighbouring states to take in refugees during times of crisis. Even far poorer nations such as Kenya have hosted refugees from neighbouring countries such as Somalia. If anything this answer just highlights both Saudi and wider Arab hypocrisy when dealing with refugee crises in their backyards. Also yes I totally understand why this question was asked as often a lot of European states have taken in refugees from middle eastern countries whilst the neighbouring gulf states have taken none.

Seems like no matter who the Caucasian person is it’s like they want Israel. To have what is not there’s all of Palistine it is like they are saying …The Israelis are Caucasians and we are Caucasians. We understand what you’re going through make it easy for them take your people no you take your people back to Europe.

There are no Palestinian refugees anywhere for a reason because we dont wanna leave our land no matter what and we dont want anyone to take us in because we are not going anywhere i know its kinda hard for people to understand how we dont want to leave with everything thats going on in Palistine but we are not letting go of our mother land

Your position is fully understandable. Especially for the children, it is best to leave .... Good luck in your next endeavour.
