Hijrah is not our solution. Leaving 'kafir' America for lands of 'Islam' where you're excluded from public life for basic religiosity, or even persecuted by the state. A cafe in Amman didn't let me in because I wore a thawb. Once they heard me speak English, they let me in.

“The problem is they literally kicked us out. Neither indoors, nor outdoors… get out.” An Egyptian restaurant in Cairo is facing a backlash after an angry guest complained on TikTok about her group being kicked out for having women with hijab

If this happened in America, many non-Muslims would be just as upset as we are. The liberal ACLU would represent them pro bono and they would win in court. Since it happened in a Muslim land, secular-nationalists will defend the decision and the state will not defend them.

@mesaythetruth Please name countries with: 1. Immigration system where I can become a citizen. 2. Free practice of Islam (no stifling French-style secularism). 3. Decent economy and a reasonable standard of living. 4. No excessive xenophobia/racism, a possibility for assimilation.

@sharghzadeh "A cafe in Amman didn't let me in because I wore a thawb. Once they heard me speak English, they let me in." Did they serve alcohol? Many restaurants in Muslim countries do not allow people wearing traditional clothes because they believe its disrespectful for the clothes.

@sharghzadeh The only solution is for Muslims to work together to help pave the way for the rule of the Caliph of Allah the Mahdi, so we can bring about a state which can implement Islam entirely

@sharghzadeh If you read the history of Egypt. Then look at the creation of Saudi Arabia. Their compassion for Raffadi Shia& Yahood in Israel. To the undying love for America/UK Zionist regime. That they collectively Butcher Muslims. Keep the Ummah Divided. Oppressed. What else do we expect?

@sharghzadeh Admittedly, there are many problems in the so-called Muslim countries. However, as someone who lived in both, certainly, issues in many of these counties are outweighed by the problems in the so-called non-Muslim counties. That being said, it’s a personal experience; after all

@sharghzadeh You are presenting the extremes that occur in a very limited subset of areas in Muslim countries as a reason to not move there. I assure you: there are lots of restaurants and areas in America where a hijabi or a man in a thawb will get very uncomfortable, if not harassed....

@sharghzadeh This exact attitude lead to Muslim children getting taken away I don't know about you but I'd rather get a few stares walking in a main city wearing a Thawb than lose a child because I told him being gay is a sin
