As a Malaysian Muslim, I always taking everything for granted. We are not perfect but we got everything wè need to live. Halal foods everywhere. Almost any kinds of foods we got halal version of it. From where I live, I could hear azhan from 5 different mosulla and masjid. So, Malaysia is one good option too. Islam religion is protected under our constitution. And get ready if someone gives money to your kids. Part of our culture. Get ready if someone ask you guys already eat or not.

Bruh what is this bs \n?\nMan muslims like these that increase hatred towards our religion. \nSo shameful

I'm not Muslim but I have family and extended family that are. I'm in Ireland, there is a large Muslim community in Dublin. My grand nephew's is named Salah. He is adorable, they spend most of the year in Kuwait and school breaks in Ireland. Can I just say, most 'normal' people, regardless of religion share the views you have expressed here, on every count. Best wishes on your travels. Maybe you could check out Ireland. However, I think you will find what you are leaving behind exists to a greater or lesser degree throughout the world now. You may only find home and peace within. Take care. ❤️??

While your reasons for moving are very understandable and commendable, I also get a feeling of hopelessness when I hear that western countries are becoming hostile environments for practicing Muslims. I moved to Europe from Pakistan and I am constantly in a conundrum of whether I would want to settle here permanently. On one hand, the cultural differences here means that I will probably always feel like an outsider in this society and will always have to work harder to be able to practice my religion freely and to find a good community around me. On the other hand, because of Pakistan's economic situation, going back means constantly living under the threat of financial insecurity and a plethora of other problems such as a corrupt justice system, a weak passport etc. Not to even take into account that the average Pakistani society is just Muslim by name and not in actual practice. So it feels like there isn't any clear options and you just have to weigh the pros and cons of each situation. But I would warn you that while it's easy to say that you want to live in a Muslim country, the reality is hardly as idyllic. Its easy to play the azan in a mall but it's difficult to create a society that actually adheres to and values Islamic principles, and in Pakistan's case I don't think such a society exists. You would also find that many Muslim countries' leaderships have supported tyrannical regimes and nobody's hands are actually clean. It's a complicated decision but I hope you find a situation that works for your family.

I moved to Dubai from Macedonia which is a Christian independent country. I can t say that there is a kind of racism regarding the religion there. But the country itself does not have any future for the young generation. So I've been living here for about 6 and half years in a very beautiful country weather Islam but however, the economy and the market are seasonal and very competitive. Unfortunately, many other populations are taking the economy to the other way and for that reason, I might leave from here as well. Islam is here Alhamdulillah and all but the economy fail. So my suggestion is if you move even to a Muslim country according to your 5 points. Move with the business idea if you can open your own business. DO NOT MOVE AS AN EMPLOYEES NOWHERE cause you have a powerfull passport and the majority doesn't work that way. If you move as a single that can work out. But as a family, it requires a lot to earn and survive in Muslim countries. I hope Allah blesses you with more wealth.

I did my education here in Ontario. Back home in India, education was mostly about education but here it is all about having all the experiences like weed, addictions, breakup and promiscuity etc. Everyone talks about YOLO (You Only Live Once). If you are not going to party, clubbing and staying virgin as a guy, you will become a laughing stalk.\nEvery other day I meet people who says their parents were Muslims. That's scary for me.\n\nI felt like Muslims are safe here but not kids, irrespective of their religion. Alhumdulillah I see Muslim-Christian brotherhood in the protests against L***Q+ education in early childhood education. insha'Allah I will follow your video to get updates about which country to move.

In Islam, anyone doing hijrah like for religion, work, life, security in life will always be blessed with rahmah and prosperity from Allah. \nIts been proven generatios after generations, this is a real deal. \nIslam peaked in the golden age of knowledge due to Muslims hijrah to Andulusia. \nEven our beloved Prophet hijrah, even his companions hijrah and passed on in foreign lands. \nEven our beloved Prophet Ahlul Baits hijrah to Yemen, South East Asia and most part of the world. \nEven to be a recognized famous footballer, he must be willing to hijrah. A buisness man to be successful he need to hijrah to find wealth and prosperity. \nMy prayers to you both lovely family to find a place under the sun that will make your heart filled with happiness and fulfillment. My humble respect from a fellow Muslim living in Singapore. ❤

I have never related to a social content as much as i related with this video. I prayed to Allah for this migration to Canada only to realise that i was a trap, a foolish decision. I have faith in my Almighty and his decisions thus i am praying again to Allah to make my paths in a muslim country where i can practice my religion with pride and surround myself with similar people. If any one of you read it, please pray for me.

Malaysia! Our official religion is Islam..\nWe have other religions,races and cultures too living peacefully.\nHalal food is everywhere. All malls, restaurants and hotel have to be halal certified before can be operated. Non halal food for non Muslims.\nA lot of islamic international school too. \nNo issues of lgbtqrstu teaching in school and public.

I am not Muslim, I am learning about what it means at the moment and I have huge respect for your beautiful religion. My family is from Australia, our government are similar unfortunately. I also homeschool my kids for lots of the same reasons. Sending much love to you guys.

This is absolutely tremendous for everyone to have a look at how amazingly cruel dictatorial suicidal religiously intolerant and showing a real antisocial behaviour. And why the police are allowing these vigilantes to do what they are doing just simply shows the CEOs of the police force have got absolutely no backbone and do not hold up to protecting the rights of citizens. This is anarchy in society. When we can see the ideology of a radical group that doesn't have a book that makes any sense when studying it. In actual fact you would have to apologise after reading it. If the Muslims were given the facts. And if the Muslims were given a free choice there would be no Muslims in 30 years. You've gotta ask yourself the big question if Muslims were so fantastic and is lamb was so fantastic then why don't all the Muslims go back to where they've come from. It's very simple because they've totally trashed their own civilisation. If this religion can only be propagated by terrorism then I think the rest of the world needs to have a big rethink in allowing Muslims in their country. Because this is exactly what will happen to you if you allow them in

I move from one country to another every five years because of the nature of my job. As a practising Muslim with children here are some of the countries I’ve lived in which you guys should consider :\n- Turkey is very developed and your family will have to make less adjustments in terms of quality of life. If you can speak Turkish then you are good to go.\n-Morocco has a very rich culture and the economy is relatively stable.\n- Malaysia is beautiful and has great community sense. Very helpful people. The main adjustment will be with the eastern culture which is very conservative. The cuisine is also very unique.\n- Qatar and UAE are both similar in the sense that finding jobs won’t be a problem and lots of people understand and speak english. Also these two countries are developed and the \n education standards are the highest I have seen in countries following sharia. Also these countries are less strict than Saudi Arabia which is my native country. I really hope you two \n aren’t considering it. Your girls will not grow up happy in Saudi. Trust a women who has done it. I love my religion but inshallah no child should go through that environment because her \n parents were attracted to the holy land.\n-Lastly this is a rather outlier in this list but you should consider India. There are mosques everywhere in almost every city and even the Hindus fondly wake up to the azaan. Most \ninclusive non-Muslim country I have lived in. My children loved it. We lived in one of the many Muslim communities near a mosque in a city called Hyderabad which was ruled by a Muslims for hundreds of years. Even though they have their own languages nearly everyone speaks english. The schools are great. The police create spaces for Muslims to worship on the roads so that traffic doesn’t disturb them. Very inclusive and the city itself is beautifully developed. The job market is great and it is a very affordable place to raise a family.\n\nI hope you guys check these places out. I’ve only listed the countries which I felt were the best options but I’ve lived in almost all the countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Best wishes to you folks from the Sayyid family. Allah be with you.

i started to practice islam in 2009 while living in spain. and left it in 2010 and relocated to turkey. would never go back. love spain and keep my best memories of living there. but now i have three kids and need to think about them first. and i think that a muslim should live in a muslim environment. istanbul is like a european city but with adhan and people who wont harass you for your religion.

I loved when you said about your first reason. Move because of your religion because of your Muslim brothers and sisters because of injustice of your government towards Palestinian. You leave to please Allah and Allah will never let you down. Wish you and your family all the best.

Hai..i think all of your worries will easily disappear if u come n move to Malaysia??.. first of all we don't have winter season as u wanted.. secondly we are multi culture country with many races n ethnique people lives together like malay+Chinese+indian etc lives in harmony n respect of each other beliefs n background..Malaysian are friendly people n humble..also the easiest country to access halal food everywhere because 60% or more of the population is Muslim..so u can also practice Islamic education here .. n importantly even though we are multi cultures we still can practice our religion peacefully n respectfully..in fact we had our mosques, temple n churches besides each other..n when comes to celebrate holidays, we celebrate Ramadan, Eid, Christmas,thaipusam, deepavali or other celebration together respectfully regardless of our races.. Malaysia also a tropical country so u can enjoy modern city n nature together just in one country.. n lastly I think economically u guys can afford to living or retired here considering dollar are more higher than ringgit Malaysia..so financially I think its everything affordable here ..

I agree with you in terms of being a muslim woman wearing hijab here. I know Canadians won't say it to you directly but there is a REAL misunderstanding of our religion created by the media and the looks are very PAINFUL. Just bear in mind that nearly all the western countries created and still support the genocidal state , and that the UAE is a strategic partner of Isr*** and supoorts genocide too. So do not expect to find yourself in a traditionnaly muslim country if you choose the UAE. Good luck for your journey ?.

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

#3 was the biggest one (imo) that made me think. I can't imagine what it's like to have to live day to day with those worries and fears about yourself AND your children. As a mother of 3 myself, there is already so much to worry about when it comes to our children, without the added fear of visible religion being added to that. I have never once thought about what it would be like, if I was raised in a religion where it was visible to others, how that would have impacted me, nor have I ever passed a thought as a parent. And for that, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you have to live with those worries and fears each day. I'm sorry that people of Muslim religion are bullied and targeted on a daily basis. I'm sorry that a few bad eggs, have marked the beautiful people. I may not be Muslim, but I would gladly step in and stand up for a Muslim (or anyone tbh) who was being victimised because of their religion. I truly hope your children never become victims, and I truly hope that y'all are able to find a place with Sandy beaches, lots of sun, a wonderful Muslim community with plenty of free space to worship how and when you need to freely, and the feeling of safety for you both and your beautiful children.

Alhamdulilah I am so happy for your family. I used to watch a lot of non Muslim couple influencers but since the war on occupied palestine I have seen that non of the couples you tubers have even mentioned what is happening its like they are all in the agenda just to distract people while a genocide is happening right before our eyes, sad thing is majority of the people around the world are ipening their eyes to the reality its not about religion or race its about humanity so when people who have such huge platforms keep quiet it shows their values. so I have decided to strictly keep my eyes on our muslim youtubers. I see what you are doing and I am so happy that you'll get the chance to help the Palestinians as many of us wish too but unfortunately cannot. May Allah bless you abundantly and keep your family safe.

I believe staying in a Muslim country where you have freedom to practice your religion freely ..a religious environment .. I have three sons and one got married recently but they all prefer migrating to muslim countries not western or European ones for jobs..Dollars may be tempting but Faith is above all ...i don't say you don't live in a western or European country...its just that you should have firm islamic roots so that your kidz follow it ..or else the situation would be drastic like Borris Johnson ...Oman Muscat Qatar Ireland Dubai KSA good places to migrate

As a Canadian myself, there are definitely a lot of problems going on here right now. Im on Vancouver Island and its very expensive. A lot of problems with homelessness and addiction here as well. \nIm probably going to be stuck in Canada forever lol, but I really like Southern Europe. Im not sure how big the Muslim population is in those countries. There are countries like Qatar and UAE where the official religion is Islam.

I cant blame you for the cold. I dont love the winter either. I moved back to the cold winter from the coast and boy do you get spoiled on either coast of canada for weather! I just dont like to be cold. If I could move to the USA, preferably texas. I would go. In terms of living costs, its sad how many canadians dont understand that places like BC and ON have been pricey for a long time. Its new in other provinces to be this expensive and AB, SK, MB, QC. While some of those provinces are more expensive than others, they're new to the super high prices and many refuse to recognize how ON and BC have been paying these prices far longer then inflation right now, which isn't new either. While I'm not muslim, I am LDS and we are not a favourite religion in society either. We get chastised all the time and nobody bats an eye. I've been insulted by employers, our church buildings have been set on fire. I still have to explain why my faith doesn't believe in working on sundays (as employers want that these days). I think some religions or non religious dont want to recognize what we get put through too. Even though we can relate to muslims in our own way. My faith enjoys serving communities with the muslims, I have worked with muslims and many are just the kindest people! The first president of our church got murdered and our people got chased within the USA and americans seem to believe that this doesn't happen in their own country but the same hate has and continues to happen in my faith. So I can understand, we face a lot of rejection when we speak about our faith. I can understand in my own way how you feel.

this is the reason why muslim religion has no place in civilized world

Everyone should be either Catholic or Protestant Religion In UK Same as People in Muslim Countries are forced to live by Muslim Law Only Christian Beliefs Should be followed here & they should be forced to do National Service &Fight To Proof Their Loyalty To This Country & Speak English & Have No rights to vote unless they have at least 5 generations of English Ancestry

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.

oh yeah? the territory was originally populated by jews, then christians. islam conquered that territory and got rid of most jews and christians. now a new conquest has happened and muslims right to hold that territory is being challenged. but if we are discussing territorial rights by genes and religion than jews have the obvious right to that territory.

I support Palestinians but the problem lies in their religion. These people can easily be instigated by Muslim nations like it is being done by Iran and Pakistan. Palestinians were given a lot of opportunities but they still chose gihad.

This was 10 years ago. Now in 2023 the Muslims are doing it again. There is no end to this extremism. Halt migration now. Other religions from abroad are doing the same to other European and North American countries. It’s time to put a halt to certain religions migrating to the U.K, other countries, it’s up to them.

If u can’t become one of the ppl of the country ur in them u should be banished forever to where they ever originated from if u can’t become English or British u need to get out including religion u keep that in the church an not in street Britain isn’t a Islamic country or area is better than that so I don’t blame them if they treat Muslims bad they need to become part of the communities not Harrass or try an make it like where they came from\nIf that’s the case don’t leave in the first place not other countries problem if u live in shit hole places or even if they are dangerous fox the problems there

“This is a Muslim area”, ah yes, freedom of religion has been abolished in the UK and each area has its own religion where that religion’s laws apply ???

If you’re ignorant enough to spout nonsense about Islam without actually understanding the context of what this religion is actually teaching then you’re part of the problem!!Especially if you’re claiming to be Muslim ??

Arab world is smartly refusing to give shelter to the innocent people of Palestine who belongs to their religion, atleast until the war situation normalised. What the use of Muslim brotherhood then??

Muslim countries wants non Muslim countries to acknowledge Islam but Muslim countries don't want to acknowledge other religion in their country.

The Quran says in Chapter 5 verses 21 to 26 that Allah has assigned that land to the Jews. Does this Muslim not read his Quran. Its not the land of the Palestinians. The Jews have been living in Israel for thousands of years. Its is NOT their land. The Arabs want to wipe out the Jews and Israel. This is not political its religious. They want to establish a World Islamic State.... Israel today....Europe tomorrow. But the God of Abraham has a covenant with the Jews...they are Gods chosen people. The evil Islamic religion will NEVER defeat Israel. God Bless Israel.

ask him if europe or any non muslim country should take them his says its collectives responsibility and humanity has no religion intolerence is not accepted. refugess are to be accepted

Although their intentions in their minds were good they caused great damage between Muslims and non-Muslims . You can not implement Shariah in a non -Muslim country and among non-Muslims.\nLondon is a melting pot of many cultures and religions and Islam is not something you can force on others.

I know Muslims always make another people religion down nd jokes .but still I want peace in Palestinian nd respect sovereignty..

Their medieval religion and their backward ways are not wanted here, they need to go and live in a Muslim country. Our politicians have compromised our safety.

leave us alone with your imaginary religion, and if you wanna live in a sharia state go to Muslim countries.........ooh but they don't like you there!

Does this thing still exist in this place??\n\nBecause i live in a Muslim Area residence and they don't do this here. We actually feels secured because of them because drunk people causing havock and trash can't cause trouble here. D&rug dealers can't also linger in our area because the Muslim people here doesn't care about them $#it and will tell police about them.\n\nThe people with other religions also come to them to talk if there is neighborhood disputes.\n\nBut! Our Muslims here doesn't harass women with different clothing, because they respect other religion. They don't care if they $|aught€r a pig if they have a feast or party.\n\nIt's give and take. If the Muslims have parties or it's Ramadan time, people should not say something because its their turn to do their stuff.

They try to impose islamic law and religion in a christians countries, if any christian just talk about Christ in islamic country his life will be in real danger. Ingland have to close all musque and expel every muslim from their country as soon as possible.

As a Muslim, this disgusting me how the world is attacking religions that have people with faith?

And Jews have the right to live on their land. If your religion have a group of fanatics who is trying to destroy your people or anyone who is not Muslim that’s your problem not Europe not Israel not the West.

Let us start with equal rights to people of other religions in the 20+ Arab Muslim states.

They said alcohol it is not good,but when its come to pu**ssy to many it is okay,that is why they the muslim man can married as much as they want to, hypocrip,just mind your own business and do your best on what your religion teach you without have to judge other poeple

In Quebec law 21 is promoting the laicity of the state. It is not against muslims, but against civil service employees in position of authority showing religious symbols. It applies to all religions.

Arab worlds actually dont care about each other. ?\nOr else why are Arab nations quiet about Uyghur muslims in China and Rohingya Muslims refugees, bombings in Syria and Yemen....all Islamic nations quiet! \nBut NOW Palestine is a big issue because here JEWS are involved.... \nThat's it!! (Anti-Semitism at full display)\n\nAnd then they yelling 'Genocide'... yeah right... fastest growing religion.. 44+ Islamic majority countries... but lets go ahead and call every conflict a Genocide. ?\n\nAlso Why are people not talking about ongoing Armenia genocide by Azerbaijan?

***National Post***\nMuslim leaders should've condemned Hamas instead of fomenting hate\nIf they had spoken out against terrorism, their advocacy of the Palestinian cause would carry much more weight. \n\nPart of the reason we are seeing division, hatred and unrest in the streets of Montreal, Toronto and other communities across Canada is due to the collective failure of Muslim leaders, in Canada and around the world, to condemn the despicable Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians. \n\nIt was a horrific and cowardly attack by a terrorist group — not by all Palestinians, Arabs or the wider Muslim community. It should have been condemned and contained immediately. Muslims who pride themselves as followers of a peaceful religion should have empathized and consoled the grieving Jews. \n\nThere was a lot of time to do this. There was a lengthy delay between the attack and Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza. Instead of taking this time to condemn Hamas’s slaughter, Arab and Muslim politicians and government leaders promoted anti-Jewish hate to shore up their political support. This is nothing less than encouraging antisemitism. \n\nMuslim political and religious leaders, barring rare exceptions, chose to contextualize, equivocate and, in most cases, justify Hamas’s barbarity. What we have, as a result, is widespread hate bordering on violence in Canada — a country where communities have historically lived side-by-side in peace. \n\nThe situation got worse due to the statements made by community leaders like Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, who did not hide her partisan and divisive outlook by clearly siding with the protesters on Canadian streets, characterizing them as “peaceful demonstrations,” even though we have seen people supporting Hamas, calling for genocide against Israeli Jews and harassing and intimidating Jewish-owned businesses. \n\nOn Twitter, Elghawaby approvingly cited a quote from a Toronto Star column reading, “The stories I have heard are both fantastical and true. Muslims (and others who silently sympathize with the loss of Palestinians lives) are being disciplined, maligned, isolated and targeted at work.” \n\nInstead of reaching across the aisle and consoling the Jewish community, she has instead chosen to focus her public comments on rising Islamophobia. \n\nSeriously? Remember the Muslim family who were killed in a hate-related attack in London, Ont., a couple years ago? All communities, including the Jewish community, across the political and religious spectrum unambiguously condemned that hate crime. And it brought a sense of relief and security to Muslims in Ontario. \n\nRemember how, after more that 50 people were gunned down while worshipping at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, political and religious leaders from all faiths stood behind Muslims and consoled them? \n\nAlso, after the Quebec mosque attack, almost all communities in Canada chose to stand with Muslims. There were images of people in Alberta who formed a human chain to protect Muslims. Similar scenes were witnessed elsewhere in the country. Jewish community leaders spoke out, loud and clear, in support of Muslims and against hate and bigotry. \n\nBut that is not what Elghawaby did. Instead, she makes it sounds as though it is Muslims who are the victims, while failing to mention the barbarity unleashed on Oct. 7. This is not leadership. This is not her mandate. Her job is to promote tolerance as enshrined in Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. \n\nNow imagine a scenario in which Muslims did what they ought to have done in the first place: condemned the Hamas attack, sided with the Jewish victims and dissociated themselves from terrorism. Their voices for the Palestinian cause would have carried much more weight. \n\nWhat we are seeing instead is a rising tide of anti-Jewish hate on our streets, promoted and peddled by Muslim leaders themselves, either by gaslighting the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, or wallpapering it with the political colours of the Palestinian cause. \n\nLet us all come together, not to let hate be poured onto the streets of Canada, but to stand united for a secure and prosperous country. \n\nNational Post \n\nRaheel Raza and Mohammad Rizwan are members of the Council of Muslims Against Antisemitism.

i live in islam majority country, first this looks like make the community clean from drunken people and criminal action... but the true agenda is not that, main purpose is khilafah...they manipulate people mind then turn people into radical muslim, radical muslim is muslim who follow al qur'an and hadits correctly.. after that, they will annouce khilafah , islam state... in. everywhere, thats the mission, main mission of islam religion

Muslims want to impose their religion everywhere they go. That’s why there’s no room for them in America and Europe
