I’m not Muslim, I’m a 72 yr.old white guy ,secular,born in England, came to Canada as a six year old. I agree with all your reasons for wanting to leave. It makes perfect sense. Especially the reasons that relate to your faith, which although I’m secular , I agree with . These include educational indoctrination in the schools regarding LBGTQ etc. ,identity politics, and a lack of political leadership that unapologetically denounces genocide in Palestine. \nRegarding suggestions about where to go we’d need to know what languages you speak etc. Obviously Arabic or Persian would be number one . Without knowing that I wouldn’t know what to suggest. Clearly only other Muslims would be qualified to answer those questions.\nNevertheless,looking forward to see how you make out. \nAll the very best.\nSaying a secular prayer for peace in Palestine as I share videos far and wide from the internet regarding this decades long struggle for justice.

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.

Abu Musa reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever loves his worldly life will suffer in his Hereafter, and whoever loves his Hereafter will suffer in his worldly life. Thus, prefer what is everlasting over what will vanish.”\n\nSource: Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 709\n\nMay Allah make this move easy for you all and grant you the best in both worlds. When we leave something for the sake of Allah, He replaces it with something better inshaAllah. \n\nPlaces to consider: \nMalaysia\nDubai\nTurkey

Masha'Allah, I really love the reasoning. When you visit the middle east and Asian Muslim countries, u love the peace and belonging

I think we all know Israel ?? does not want to live there land too. So it is best to promote peace and not pick sides. The Lord Jesus Christ said love your neighbours and who are our neighbours the people who are of different faith from us and neighbours are also our enemies. So we can't false Israel ?? and Palestine to leave there land but let's pray for them to live in harmony.

I'm sad that anyone has to do this! I pray that you will find a place that will be your home, where you won't have to worry about your children being targets, that the government won't ignore your pleas for peace and that is as warm as you need it to be. As a christian women who wears a head covering (not amish or mennonite) I have made it my 'business' to deliberately greet any one I see with a head covering. I know that can't make up for what you are going through but I wanted you to be aware that there are those that do want you to be able to practice your faith in a manner that you feel you must. Peace be with you and may God place his protection over your household.

Mashaallah may Allah give u peace and happiness where ever u go but plz think twice don't go from Canada instead try to call many more Muslims in Canada make them settle down so automatically one day with Muslim majority inshallah Canada will become a Muslim country and that day all ur complaints will go away plz understand I am talking about the generation to cm

Wa a'laikum salam, Alhamduliilah, May Allah grant the both of you peace and blessings, and definitely Jannatul Firdaus... May your journey be a beautiful and peaceful one, Insya Allah... Love, peace and blessings...

as an agnostic living as a southern friend (US), may you find the best option for you and your family. I can’t imagine how hard it is for you to parent in this world, and in an area where your faith is truly equal, or the main focus. \nMay you find peace and love and community quickly.

I'm not Muslim, but I agree with many points they are making. And, I also support Peace between all regions, and believe that the world would be a much better face if all people of faith did as well. I wish this nice family to achieve all they are hoping for in the Islamic country of their choosing.

Maybe you won't read this comment, but I'm from Uzbekistan??????. If you are looking for peace, mostly populated by muslims, cheapest and cleanest country, then you should check it out. And we are close to Pakistan, so you can visit your relatives. Also, we have lots of masjids?. Honestly, i think its very underrated ?. We have beautiful ancient cities you can visit.

Good luck on your Hijra, May Allah bless you keep you and your family safe. Please dua for us as well so I and my whole family can make the same Hijra to some peaceful Muslim country, InshaAllah!

Canada is a safe and peace country for Muslims\nSpread the islam where ever u are\nShow ur good action to others \nBut only hate about this is too cold and cost of living is expensive

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've seen some mischievous interviewers ask if Islam is so great why come here and not stay in Islamic countries. Now see Muslims packing up to go and look for an Islamic environment to live peacefully in. I wish you peace of mind in your search and new destination. Can I suggest Turkey or Singapore.

Your number 1 reason to leave Canada is something I have been seriously thinking of too. When I first came to Canada it played a peace-keeping role. Gone are those days, it’s tearing me apart, being a part of such a country. I came from India about 40 years ago. And, everyone knows what is the present condition of India. I would leave in a heartbeat to Malaysia or somewhere else warm but my son has set roots (but, not happy with the direction this country is taking) in this country so he’s not moving anywhere so as an extension I am here.\n\nYou are making a good decision to move while your children are still young.\n\nGood luck wherever it’s that you are moving.\n\nCanada is losing a hard-working, entrepreneurial family, while at the same time they are bringing in people who really have no loyalty to this country. \n\nI totally agree with all you are saying…

I am apart of the lgbtq+ community so I am not sure if I am completely welcome (I just want to peacefully exist with our rights as humans not convert people to the community) but that does not stop me from respecting you, your family, your religion, and your choices of doing what is best for you and your family. I have watched many of your videos and have learned more about your faith (thank you so much for the education). I only wish you the safest of journey and a wonderful bright future for you and your family (along with any others that may make similar journeys or even trying to stick it out in hopes for a better future). I am so sorry you and everyone else in your faith has faced such injustice and discrimination. I am from the US and I am disgusted by my government and individuals that support the genocide that is happening in Palestine. Once again I wish you all the very best.

All your reasons are the same reasons me and my husband want to leave Germany. Both of us were born here. Grew up here, but the stance what German Politicians are taking and how they are pushing the people here to hate on Muslims is insane. I always faced racism as a brown kid, as Germans in the 90s were super racist. My parents fled a genocide and ethnic cleansing themselves. So they thought at least we kids would grow up happy and safe here. Never felt home and at peace in this country. Ironic when you think how they are obsessed here with rules and laws. This war let us realise that these laws are being applied selectively. And so we made the decision to save up our money for the next 2- 3 years and as soon my husband finishes his higher education we are going to leave this country for good.

When you question Israel's inability to live in peace and security, despite all its military might and unlimited and continuous support from America and European countries over 75 years, I assure you it is because either to its illegitimate establishment through the occupation of lands not rightfully belonging to Israel or because the Palestinians are the rightful landowners, who have all the right to resist the occupation and fight for their freedom using all available means. History has proven that justice ultimately belongs to those who fight for a just cause, as is the case with the Palestinian people.

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

after sharia law they will not use their mouths to eat bec it is same as kafirs, the peacefuls will walk on their hands bec it kafirs walk on legs ,

AoA Bismillah SubhaanAllah you are an inspiration to us Alllllll. May Allah SWT give you peace. Go for it definitely

You both have my utmost respect for reviving the Sunnah of migrating just because you want to practice your religion in peace + taking a step against the government who's openly supporting the genocide. May ALLAH reward you not only in this Dunya but in the Aakhirah too Aameen ❤

Mashallah may Allah give you strength with your decision and give your family peace.

Home is wherever you make it. What’s important is that your family stay strong and safe. Always together with good health and prosperity!\nWhere ever you live, I hope you always have peace!\nFind your piece of happiness!\nGod bless you my brother and sister!\nWe will support you wherever you go!!!!

You should think about moving to Dubai.\nIt is safe and a hub for multiple nationalities living peacefully.

Asa brother and sister. May Allah give you and your family peace where ever you choose to live in. One thing don't forget to pray (istikhara prayer) before doing anything. Ask Allah to let you settle good Muslim nation.

Israel has made no less than 4 offers of peace with the Palestinians of Gaza, they have turned them all down and decided to just continue terrorizing Israel with rockets and bombs for decades - the Muslim extremists do not want peace, have you just tuned into this now?!

I have seen a few influencers leave Canada and go to Dubai. You work from home so it might be easier. My son is finishing high school here in the U.S. He finishes in 1.5 years, and then we are done too. Chicago is dangerous and I want a more peaceful life. We have looked and Dubai is it.

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

Blessed move inshallah. Totally agree with all the points you raised, and more. We’ve been living in the U.S. since 87. We succeeded and our sons succeeded considerably more than we did. Yet, we are now contemplating going back home. Because we now feel that the west is clinically soulless. We yearn to live in the warmth of the East again. Blessed journey and peace upon you, good people.

I too mourn for the suffering of Palestine, but let us not forget the terrorism of Hamas and the hostages held captive to this day. I think people must listen to one another and work for peace because it is always the common people on both sides that do the suffering while those-in charge wage the wars

So happy for you all. We all have to do what's best for our family and faith if need be. We'll done may we all find peace ❤

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.

Palestinians don’t want peace. They hide Hamas. Turn over Hamas and this all goes away.

Mark my words this is only the begging ,this is what happens when extreme Muslims come to your country their aim is to take over your country.its not on .they should be come down on with full force of law and deported .leave non trouble Muslims alone and love together we need peace not this crap

All the Palestinians have to agree to, is to recognize Israel as a nation and Isreal to allow Palestinians their sovereignty. Anything short of these, there will be no peace in that region.

Israel also has a right to live in peace insecurity. The best thing to do is educate yourself and see the true history of what unfolding their. Instead of what they elite want you to think

I would ask this guy this. Do Israelis deserve to stay on their land and live in peace without constant attacks by Palestine.

They primarily invest in terror, not in their kids. How then can they expect to live in dignity and peace? How can anyone even claim they have that right?

A person could say the wrong thing in the most articulate way. We must look into his statements that the people are unable to live in peace. What policies does Hamas have for the region. Who is UNRAW and what policies do they have for the region. To blame the Jews is the easy way out but doesn’t solve the problem. There needs to be a framework for a peaceful society so that yes regular citizens can live in peace. This needs to happen not just in Gaza but the entire world as we are seeing now. A quick google search of the 7 noachide laws will reveal why God demands obedience and peace

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.

First things first, STOP fighting your neighbor and you will have peace and prosperity, in that order!

When Islam weighs more in the balance of power than English citizenship, then English citizenship will be condemned to convert to Islam or otherwise sign the Dima, becoming a semi-slave paying jisia and other humiliations, or die, this is not a speculation. , it is not a possibility, nor a theoretical conjecture, the vision of Islam is world domination by violent means, when doctrinal persuasion does not work, this purpose has 5 stages and many nations in Europe such as England have been there for some decades due to presidents and timid, timid, and progressive politicians, whose concept of solidarity and altruism is governed by the most absolute ignorance, which makes them incapable of directing the destiny of a nation, have been facilitating this 5th stage through migration and the multiplication of the Muslim population. within this migration through their children born in England, children who will be raised under the radical ideas of Islam, and who will one day fight to impose them in England, because according to the implicit inclination within the Islamic doctrine, anyone who wants to keep them completely , will necessarily have to become a radical Muslim, because that is what Islam requires of them to conquer the world starting with the nations that were conquered by Islam and then lost, and they know that it is impossible to do it by peaceful means, all those Muslims Who sincerely preaches an Islam only of love and peace is a good person but a bad Muslim, the league of Arab nations is made up of 14 million km compared to the tiny 0.24% that Israel has, so if the conflict were over land The Arabs have plenty of land, but the conflict is religious, so they do not accept peaceful solutions or reasoning, even the West Bank has more territory than Israel or Egypt itself, but why does no Arab country want to accept the Gazans? Well, why do they? If you know the Islamic doctrine and the real situation within Gaza, there every Gazan family belongs to one of the various Islamic terrorist parties or at least they support the Islamic (jihad) war against what they call the infidels, so they are A PLAGUE of hatred, destruction and death for anyone who says welcome to my house, proof that many of these pro-terrorist protesters are going to protest violently is clear when they act just like any criminal when they are going to commit a crime and cover their faces to that no one recognizes them, and when they bark, defecating from their mouths with hysterical cries of the blindest ante-Semitic hatred, Allahu Akbar, or free Palestine from the river to the sea, they are declaring, first of all, that they are at war, which turns them into an invading force. of Islam within England, and secondly, they are declaring in the sight and patience of the all-complacent English authorities the extermination of the entire Jewish race, and it is precisely the kind ignorance and irresponsibility in the face of this growing danger on the part of the English government that which is why Islam, one day not too distant, will bring England to its knees, or at the very least will make it cry blood.

The Arab world is using the Palestinians as puppets. They don’t care about them. And if the want peace, they knew better not to start a war.

It becomes more apparent daily that the Palestinians are used by the Arab Nations as puppets. They are used to fight against Israel, by the terrorist group Hamas and this allows the surrounding Nations to pretend they want peace!

He did what every politician does give you word salad and won’t give a straight forward answer; it’s basically no it’s not the Arab country responsible to take in refugees; Gaza is there home and Israel need to cease fire and have peace talks

The Arab world still has a duty to take in refugees given that you cannot reverse the damage done to Gaza. So, deflecting the question is unhelpful. \n\nDo your bit while also facilitating and encouraging peace. You can’t do one and not the other.

??? AS I SAID NEVER HOST YOUR COUNTRY WITH THIS PEOPLE,YOU GONNA LOST YOUR CULTURE AND PEACE TIME TO DEPORT THIS TO WHERE THEY COME FROM.??? DUCTH GOVERNMENT ITS GOIN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONS...
