I am from a low-income country in Africa, and I must let you know that racism is everywhere. You are very likely to be treated fairly in Arab Middle Eastern countries ONLY because of your husband's race and your passport. So, this tells you that racism honestly is everywhere in many forms. You just have to be smart about it.
I am also from low income country in Africa. I lived in two Middle East countries. I never experienced racism from the locals. From forigners? Yes!....but not from the locals!
I disagree. yeah, maybe racism is everywhere, but the degree of it is different. there's one where people may look at you a little weird, but there's another where you may lose your livelihood or even your life
I fear that if you're running from racism, you're going to spend your life running. Racism is everywhere. I hope that you find a safer place to raise your children.
That is so true, you can run all your life. If it's not religion, it's skin color. If you think in a Muslim state is no racism, you must be kidding. I have seen with my own eyes, how domestics are treated, if you think, it's perfectly alright to treat people badly, because they come from other country to work for the rich Muslim, than you are not better as the ones you point the finger on
I’m sorry for these mean responses. I’m an American Christian and this is so wrong. I follow you because I want to educate myself and thank you for sharing your lives with us. I look forward to your journey
My husband and I were discussing this same thing last night. It's not only racism but also ignorance too. In general, I find that the West isn't that educated or aware of the rest of the world.
Westerners also don't realise women are not considered chattel in other parts of the world and therefore aren't owned by their husbands (Source: every Western woman who takes her husband's name, Vol. 0)
Because they believe they don’t need to know anyone. Everyone needs to know them and treat them Like some mighty human beings. Even if they are living a deprived life in North America themselves.
I'm very sorry to hear you and your friends have experienced racism. I'm an American Christian and can say it seems to be in every country. There is sin in everyone's heart and it is tearing apart the fabric of all of our communities. Stay safe and I hope you find a place you love!
For myself i am an American white Christian and i have always been taught that we are not to judge. I lived for a while with a Muslim family who were very good friends of my family and i learned so much from them. I wish people could learn from others differences and stop judging what they do not understand. I love your videos and have definitely learned a lot..❤❤
You will find that there is racism in every country in the world. As you live in other countries you will find the real feelings of people when you are not a tourist. People always hide behind the computer when they want to make negative comments about other people and not necessarily about racism.
But if they move to an arabic country, they'll be in the majority religion and race, and white people don't face as much racism. Sure black people will experience racism, but they won't experience that so they'll be like 'wow so inclusive no racism at all'. Obviously if you're in the majority religion which is literally enforced in the laws you're probably not going to feel discrimination lmao.
I'm a southern white woman and love your videos. Yall are very personable and relatable. You have opened my eyes to quite a bit, especially after spending time in Afghanistan.
I definitely resonate with this as a New Zealander, because our country is almost seen as a 'little Canada' in the sense of being somewhere full of really nice, friendly people and where 'bad' things just don't happen. So much of how NZ is reported on internationally is a highlight reel of all the good moments; you hear very little about the bad. People from overseas are generally shocked to hear that yes, racism is a problem, xenophobia is a problem, etc. (I'm from Christchurch - I know this better than anyone).
Woah I wish I could like this comment more than once! Well said👏 I'm also living in Chch and reading your comment has made me feel less alone. You have no idea❤
I'm American but lived in Canada (Montreal) between 2001-2004. It seemed very multicultural and accepting back then. I'm sorry to hear that has changed, and you don't feel safe there. You're so right about the "keyboard warriors" and so much hate being spread online and it emboldening unstable people! At the end of the day, you have to do what's best for you family and don't listen to the haters.
It's heartbreaking that your family is getting so much hate. Unfortunately, there is hate anywhere you go. I live in a mixed home. My mom is white, my stepdad is Japanese, I'm half black, and my brother is half Italian. We were taught that we all bleed red, we all laugh the same language, and cry the same language. I'm firm believer in judge not yest ye shall be judged. Why can't people mind their own business, and get themselves right before sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. May your family be blessed.
Well, not Canadian but over the past 10 years or so have seen an insane rise in racism in the USA, so suspect the same is happening in Canada. Realistically? It is your life, your families life and you need to do what is best for you! That is no ones' business but yours. After watching your first video, I'm very sure God brought you two together for reasons beyond all of us. I also believe that your videos are 1.) a delight and 2.) an example of faithful life for every one to appreciate & learn from. (Not sure that it matters, but I say that as a Christian ;) I am so glad to have found you and am looking forward to learning about your experiences! Thank you so much for posting!
Just a thought…your current unhappiness would change when you move but as time went by you could become dissatisfied in your new life as well. There are no perfect places. Malaysia has strong ties with China. Check it out and freedoms available that could change over time. Your concerns about genocide are understandable. However, beware that wherever you go, you will face issues of one sort of another.?
As a Malaysian, I can assure you that having strong ties with China don't have anything negative implication or anything. It is good for us economically and for our safety in this region. The danger we would face is likely coming from you, The West. Historically, China never colonizes us, but it was Europeans who conquered us and messed up the whole region.
Greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾 There's no perfect country on this earth but somehow I pray that you can find the best place to settle down on this planet..aamiin
I’m guessing Malaysia is your top choice for your new home. Malaysia has a racism problem too. There are several articles online addressing this issue. Sadly, racism is endemic in most countries today. On top of that, as foreigners in a new land, you may experience xenophobia as well . So while you won’t face religious discrimination in a Muslim majority country, you likely won’t be immune to other forms of discrimination and prejudice.
Just made-up stories from online media, the real world isn't like that at all. Those Bangladeshis are over stayed workers, mostly illegals and the Rohingyas are over stayed refugees the UN leave them unattended. There are a lot of effort from the foreign media to give us bad name.
I am so sorry that y’all have to deal with that!! I am an American but I’m also half Canadian and I can’t understand racism in a country!! It’s not fair and it’s not kind!! I was raised to love everyone regardless of race, color, ethnicity, etc.,. It’s so sad that racism happens!! I hope y’all find what y’all are looking for just know you’re loved!!❤️
I understand your concerns about racism, which is indeed a global issue, including in Canada. However, it's important to recognize Canada's ongoing efforts towards inclusivity and multiculturalism. While no country is perfect, many communities here are actively working to combat racism and foster a welcoming environment for all. Leaving might seem like a solution, but engaging and contributing to positive change can be even more powerful.
I am not from Canada, from Belguim but i wanted to wish you all the luck! Save travels and I think you are verry brave to move across the World with kids. From one human being to another be safe and good luck
Wishing your family the best on your journey. May it be filled with exciting experiences, personal growth, and endless possibilities. Go out there and make your dreams a reality!
Not sure. Racism in countries like Malaysia and the UAE isn't an issue at all. No one will ever hurt you because of your race, even in Saudi Arabia even if they don't like you.
Stumbled upon your channel and this series of videos about your decision to move. I’m from the US and we are seriously thinking of doing the same (and if I’m guessing correctly, we are considering the same country as you). I can say with full confidence that many, MANY Muslims in North America share your sentiments, especially with the wonderful presidential candidates we have lined up, as well as our world renown gun problems. Seems like the time to do Hijra is near. I hope you’ll keep updating about your moving experiences as I’m sure it would help many of us!
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this, please know there are many Canadians that are not like that. I wish you all the best wherever you and your family end up, but I'm sad that you feel the need to leave Canada :)
It's important to approach discussions about racism with empathy and understanding. However, it seems that this couple may have other motives behind their claims. While it's valid to express concerns about racism, it's also crucial to consider the broader context and motivations. Let's encourage open dialogue and constructive solutions rather than spreading negativity or making unsubstantiated claims for personal gain.
Mixed marriages with children, whether by race or religion (conversion) or both, have faced challenges since their inception. Add putting yourself out there in the public eye and drawing attention to yourself- however altruistic your intention may be- certainly puts some of the onus on you. Your attempts to normalize Islam in a predominately Christian country is another challenge. Perhaps you will find safety in a predominately Muslim country?
This couple has a hidden agenda to promote racism in Canada. They most likely get paid to do this. The "race" card usually is mentioned in their vlogs. And you can see how ungrateful they are to be Canadian...pretty pathetic!
May Allah bless you and your family for having the guts to speak out. May Allah help the Muslim ummah to come together and become one and may Allah give us all the means to be able to go and live where ever we want for the sake of bettering ourselves and our families. Ameen
You guys are in for a culture shock. You dont realize the freedom you truly have. Youll be back and your visa onky allows a short time as well. Grass is not always greener on the other side
I am concerned that the bold Statement....Of Canadians is a Blanketed statement, and I 100% hope you are able to find no Racism in your Future?! It is a Problem that I believe exists Everywhere! May God Bless
I moved to Britain in the 90s from another European country. I'm noticing that increase in racism too. Not to me, but to my Muslim friends. It breaks my heart. You do what's right for you and your lovely family. Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
I am from Canada and this breaks my heart. I too have seen it change in the last few years and not for the better. I wish you much love and hope you find a place to raise your beautiful family. I moved away 17 years ago because of retirement and could no longer afford to live there.
Very much appreciate and enjoy your videos. You two are so cute together... However, this is the first one that I've seen where you have talked over one another to a larger degree. I think part of your charm is that you've both allowed the other to speak their part thus showing a great respect for each other. Keep up the good info and good luck in your move...As far as racism in Canada I can't say but sadly I see racism, hate, and social ills in other countries. Perhaps home schooling your children is a better solution--at least you have a little more control over their environment for a little longer.
It makes me sad to hear of people leaving.... I understand that people have to follow their own paths.... but just like the English Quebeckers who moved out west or to Ontario, if they stayed who knows what impact they could have had in their own communities, in their own province... the grass is greener where you water it.......best wishes always....
Hello. I am a subscriber from Sweden. It make me upset that you, the nicest, loving family have to face all this negative comments. You have spread so much knowledge and joy in your video's. I wish you all the best and i will be there with you during the journey.. Love from Sweden 🙋♀️🤗💕👍
I have lived in more then one country, Canadian racism is light compared to other places. No racism is exclusively worse in one place or the other. It’s ALL plan bad!!! BUT WE GET IT , you want to live in a Muslim country and I can see that is important to you and your family so I wish you well and hope you find the peace, happiness your looking for.
I'm sorry to hear all the bad comments you guys got here on youtube. It came from unhappy people that learnt from their parents and will pass on to their children, and so on. And until the country change it for the better with all the "good heart and intention" better you live with your family where you feel more comfortable. Yes, there are problems everywhere but with the support of your community it is easier to go through. For more happier days.
@@NH-hp2nn Oh sorry... I made a typo. I'm relocating to Turkey. I lived and worked in Turkey for over a year. Turkey might have its problems....but the people are amazing, the culture is awesome, the music, art and history are amazing.
Sending peace and love, those comments are so disgusting and I am truly sorry people think it is okay to say anything along that hate speech. I've been hearing about the hate crimes that have been occuring in Canada against the indigenous people but I did not know about the hate crimes towards the muslim population and racially motivated hate crimes, in the US most foreign news is so filtered out even on social media that we remain majorily ignorate to the troubles that occur else where. Safe travels and I am excited for this next chapter in your families lives. All the best wishes towards a bright and wonderful future
Thank you so much for shearing your truth and telling us how things really are. You are beautiful family, and i think it's wonderful that you protect your children and mooving out of Canada..personally i am not Muslim, but i strongly belive in a higher energy, knowing what you give ,you recive! It just feels good to be a good honest person...much blessings and love to u guys.❤
I am sorry you have experienced this. I am Canadian and have no place for rasisium. My friends are from all backgounds. I have travelled to other countries and found rascisim is everywhere. We are all human and need respect and love.
Wow thank you for telling us. I love you guys and appreciate your voice and willing to share your life with us. I’m heartbroken to know how vicious and hateful people have been toward you. I respect your choice to live where you feel safe. Sending you love, kindness and compassion.
One can understand some people may be upset by your criticism of Canada and some Canadians. You seem like a very pleasant, polite couple and you must know that there are people from all faiths/cultures who think of their way as better than others. Recent immigrants are not the only ones who can feel uncomfortable where they live because of the attitude of their neighbours. Could it get to the stage where countries are assigned to exclusively particular religions/non-believers etc. Sounds far fetched but all of us need to accommodate each other to live in harmony. Regards from Blighty :).
I think they're well aware that problems (in the case, racism) exists everywhere. I'm a born and bred Malaysian, and I'll tell you we have a fair share of our own problems too. Racism as well. There're Malaysians who find our politics intolerable and chose to migrate elsewhere, while others who hang out overseas for a few years but choose to come back. It comes back to our level of tolerance and comfort when choosing a place to settle down, and it differs from people to people.
We are the most passive aggressive country and we are also very good at pretending everything is ok. I’m so sad that people are so mean and hateful. Thank you for bringing light to this. I wish you the best in your new journey and hope you find peace and healing! Also what people say is a reflection of themselves not you and who you are.
The worst the social problems like drug addiction and mental health issues get with the cost of living out of control. I don't blame you for raising your children with every advantage in a safe place. My grandmother was native she didn't want me to leave because she loved me.
Because of Covid and a unnamed President. My wife "Asian" has faced racism that she has never had to deal with before. I'm white and have a learning disability / ADHD. I have faced hardship before and continuity. You can't not run away. You have to face it.
I think people attacked you not because you were leaving, but because you were attacking Canadian human rights e.g. homosexual people's rights, women's rights etc. You demand respect, but you don't respect other people.
Unfortunately, running away from Canada is not the answer. As I am a born and raised canadian born in a very religious muslim household. Unfortunately, racism is everywhere. You can't run away from it. You just have to learn to embrace it and learn how to learn and work with it every day. But again, it's your decision for leaving Canada. And I hope you guys find the answers you're looking for.
Racism should never be embraced. Racism on an institional level should be eradicated through ideas. Just as Islam eradicated Racism. Please note: Islam eradicated Racism on an institional and ideological level.
Our world is changing and not for the better and I'm in the U.S. I'm just happy my daughter is grown and not in the school system or else I would be home schooling!
I believe that „racism“ is everywhere and in every country of the world. It may not even be racism but just fear/rejection of what is different to their own culture and that is somewhat natural to us humans. But I do understand to be wanting to live in a country with a majority of similarly believing people.
Just a quick hi. Love your videos. Malaysian/Canadian here living in Vancouver. Ever since the pandemic I’ve been thinking a lot about moving to Malaysia as things here are no longer like what it used to be. The far-right are coming out of their closet. Never experienced racism personally but you do see/hear it on the news. You no longer feel safe here in Vancouver at night and I guess the government are just in denial about the mess they created. All the best and good luck with your move. Inshallah I hope I’ll run into you guys in Malaysia sometime in the future.
It’s scary to know in this day and age there is still racism…… I should take my land back seriously…. But am an indigenous person born and bred here….. it’s sad to see or hear people wanting to leave this country
Stay strong against the haters! ❤ ...they are just jealous because they wish they could make drastic changes and can't. (Maybe not necessaarily moving to another country - but big changes in their life). They are scared. They are unducated in this religion and the middle-east. You are absolutely right! - this country needs help in SOOOO many ways. Go enjoy your lives in whichever ways works for you!! ❤
As Salaamu Alaikum As a "white" Muslim it is my duty to point out that there is no difference between Arab or non-Arab, Black or White. There are racists of all colors. "Whites" aren't the problem, ignorance is. "Whites" embraced the printing press, non-whites rejected it and this has resulted in many non-whites naming their ignorance on "Whites". Please, note you'll find racism everywhere
From a person in the USA, I hope (God, Heavenly Father, Alla) blesses your journey. Many words meaning only the One, Find the society to raise your children to achieve their goals.
barakallahufikuma, inshallah you will have safe travels and I hope you find a great new home. inshallah allah will reward you and your children for this beautiful Hijrah for the sake of allah.
As for racism and people who are not good in general... for happiness I try to create a small happy / safe bubble around yourself, wherever I am. Cannot change or exchange the universe. :)
Thanks for your channel, I appreciate the education regarding islamic practice and tradition. I’ll be curious to see if you find the utopia you seek, but I personally believe that you can’t escape bigotry and intolerance, it will just manifest differently and be directed at different groups of people depending on where you are. It’s just more tolerable and easier to not see it when you belong to the group that isn’t being maligned. Hopefully you can find the balance where you feel comfortable and what best fits your family, wherever that happens to be.
There is a contradiction to be addressed. You must know about the TRV program > January 9 ,2024 . Out of the 1.7 million in Canada roughly 45 K have family members - ranging from 10 to 60 - in Gaza .As a rough estimation take just 10 per application and the number is staggering = 450 000 . Whatever the real number of those who make it out will be - they'll need housing / jobs / health care / schools ect. + assistance of all kind for years to come. So .....Canada has an obligation to save them > offering a chance to live in a country you don't feel at home = eager to leave. Guess those lucky ones who will touch down at Pearson won't mind the difficulties you faced .
Your lack of insight is apparent. What about the tens of thousands of students who are fast tracked to Canada only to realize they cannot afford to be here? Suicide rate for them is astronomical. You think the government cares? They fast track immigration for the votes that come with every PR status. Canada has no obligation to save the people of Gaza, they are slaves to the Zionist agenda like the rest of the western puppet governments. You’ve also ignored the out of pocket cost that people must pay just to escape Gaza, upwards of $10,000 per person. You’ve also ignored the huge amount of Ukrainian refugees brought to Canada not due to an ongoing genocide, but a war between two armies, when many other countries give them the option to go to. The people of Gaza have no such options. The whole system is broken. You’ve also left out the fact that it isn’t the government paying all of those expenses, it’s the families. Look deeper, start with comparing Ukrainian vs Gazan refugees and what they get and the process involved. Then you might see some of the white supremacy undertones your current, less obviously white power government holds.
It’s so sad what our world has become. I’d be proud to have you as neighbors because I only see you as a beautiful family looking out for each other and living your faith. I so enjoy your videos and learning about the Muslim faith, actually I enjoy learning about all faiths! We are all God’s children. Please stay safe in this world of uncertainty.
Where ever you go stay with together always be happy with families. Our family is our most powerfull weapon. after long time you came on RUclips. Assalamualaikum .

Go out there and make your dreams a reality!
Don’t run away from racism cause you will be running for ever. I’ve been the subject of it, it’s sad. Best to you and your family!
Not sure. Racism in countries like Malaysia and the UAE isn't an issue at all. No one will ever hurt you because of your race, even in Saudi Arabia even if they don't like you.

Stumbled upon your channel and this series of videos about your decision to move. I’m from the US and we are seriously thinking of doing the same (and if I’m guessing correctly, we are considering the same country as you). I can say with full confidence that many, MANY Muslims in North America share your sentiments, especially with the wonderful presidential candidates we have lined up, as well as our world renown gun problems. Seems like the time to do Hijra is near. I hope you’ll keep updating about your moving experiences as I’m sure it would help many of us!
Same here.
Thank you so much for following our journey. We hope it helps!
Agree sadly racism is worse last few years
❤️❤️❤️ I pray you all find the peace you are looking for ❤❤❤ please remember There are also good people everywhere too!
Good luck. Hope this test run works out. Family safety is vital. Be safe.
Have a safe journey, may Allah protect you and your family, Sana
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this, please know there are many Canadians that are not like that. I wish you all the best wherever you and your family end up, but I'm sad that you feel the need to leave Canada :)
It's important to approach discussions about racism with empathy and understanding. However, it seems that this couple may have other motives behind their claims. While it's valid to express concerns about racism, it's also crucial to consider the broader context and motivations. Let's encourage open dialogue and constructive solutions rather than spreading negativity or making unsubstantiated claims for personal gain.
Mixed marriages with children, whether by race or religion (conversion) or both, have faced challenges since their inception. Add putting yourself out there in the public eye and drawing attention to yourself- however altruistic your intention may be- certainly puts some of the onus on you. Your attempts to normalize Islam in a predominately Christian country is another challenge. Perhaps you will find safety in a predominately Muslim country?
This couple has a hidden agenda to promote racism in Canada. They most likely get paid to do this. The "race" card usually is mentioned in their vlogs. And you can see how ungrateful they are to be Canadian...pretty pathetic!
May Allah bless you and your family for having the guts to speak out. May Allah help the Muslim ummah to come together and become one and may Allah give us all the means to be able to go and live where ever we want for the sake of bettering ourselves and our families. Ameen
You guys are in for a culture shock. You dont realize the freedom you truly have. Youll be back and your visa onky allows a short time as well. Grass is not always greener on the other side
@@samuelrigaud6595 They will indeed. You can't run away from your life. Face it head on
Lol so salty
Is it greener than the Red Umericn South 😂lolll
@Brightwater355 I'm actually not from the South. Born in New York. People always run foe someplace better only to find out, it's NOT!!
@@bethnonyourbusiness6871 yep, there are a lot of Mexican people cross the border each year, and maybe there ain’t grass over there.
I am glad you guys addressed this. I was shocked by the comments of the other video.
I am concerned that the bold Statement....Of Canadians is a Blanketed statement, and I 100% hope you are able to find no Racism in your Future?!
It is a Problem that I believe exists Everywhere!
May God Bless
They're not trying to find a country with NO racism.
They're moving to a place where racism and Islamophobia aren't as rampant as in the West.
I moved to Britain in the 90s from another European country. I'm noticing that increase in racism too. Not to me, but to my Muslim friends. It breaks my heart. You do what's right for you and your lovely family. Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
I am from Canada and this breaks my heart. I too have seen it change in the last few years and not for the better. I wish you much love and hope you find a place to raise your beautiful family. I moved away 17 years ago because of retirement and could no longer afford to live there.
where did you move to if I may ask?
Very much appreciate and enjoy your videos. You two are so cute together... However, this is the first one that I've seen where you have talked over one another to a larger degree. I think part of your charm is that you've both allowed the other to speak their part thus showing a great respect for each other. Keep up the good info and good luck in your move...As far as racism in Canada I can't say but sadly I see racism, hate, and social ills in other countries. Perhaps home schooling your children is a better solution--at least you have a little more control over their environment for a little longer.
It makes me sad to hear of people leaving.... I understand that people have to follow their own paths.... but just like the English Quebeckers who moved out west or to Ontario, if they stayed who knows what impact they could have had in their own communities, in their own province... the grass is greener where you water it.......best wishes always....
Hello. I am a subscriber from Sweden. It make me upset that you, the nicest, loving family have to face all this negative comments.
You have spread so much knowledge and joy in your video's.
I wish you all the best and i will be there with you during the journey.. Love from Sweden 🙋♀️🤗💕👍
This means so much to us. Thank you 🇸🇪
I have lived in more then one country, Canadian racism is light compared to other places. No racism is exclusively worse in one place or the other. It’s ALL plan bad!!! BUT WE GET IT , you want to live in a Muslim country and I can see that is important to you and your family so I wish you well and hope you find the peace, happiness your looking for.
You guys speak the truth! Good luck on your journey!
I'm sorry to hear all the bad comments you guys got here on youtube. It came from unhappy people that learnt from their parents and will pass on to their children, and so on. And until the country change it for the better with all the "good heart and intention" better you live with your family where you feel more comfortable. Yes, there are problems everywhere but with the support of your community it is easier to go through. For more happier days.
How do you know the people who are leaving the hateful comments are Canadian?
They are speaking about “ their daily life experience in Canada “
@@samuelrigaud6595 I don’t lie , watch the video…. The titel is “ why we are leaving Canada “ they speaking about their daily life there!!!!!!!!
glad you are doing what is right for your family. May your travels and new home be blessed
Allah be with you in your travels. Im sure you will learn a lot
I’m Canadian but I’m relocating to 🇹🇷 at some point in 2024. I totally understand where you are coming from.
relocating where? whats TR?
@@NH-hp2nn Turkey
@@NH-hp2nn Oh sorry... I made a typo. I'm relocating to Turkey. I lived and worked in Turkey for over a year. Turkey might have its problems....but the people are amazing, the culture is awesome, the music, art and history are amazing.
@@jenicaepp awesome thank you!
Me and my family are also considering Turkey to live as British Nationals. Good Luck with everything. Insha’ALLAH all will work out for us.
Why, exactly, are you you still here ?
Would you like me to come over and help you pack your bags...?
Awe Sammy that’s so kind of you but we aren’t even in the country. We left weeks ago.
@@SalehFamily Congratulations.
Sending peace and love, those comments are so disgusting and I am truly sorry people think it is okay to say anything along that hate speech. I've been hearing about the hate crimes that have been occuring in Canada against the indigenous people but I did not know about the hate crimes towards the muslim population and racially motivated hate crimes, in the US most foreign news is so filtered out even on social media that we remain majorily ignorate to the troubles that occur else where.
Safe travels and I am excited for this next chapter in your families lives. All the best wishes towards a bright and wonderful future
they said 'hate speech' themselves. they're against LGBTQP values.
Thank you so much for shearing your truth and telling us how things really are. You are beautiful family, and i think it's wonderful that you protect your children and mooving out of Canada..personally i am not Muslim, but i strongly belive in a higher energy, knowing what you give ,you recive! It just feels good to be a good honest person...much blessings and love to u guys.❤
I am sorry you have experienced this. I am Canadian and have no place for rasisium. My friends are from all backgounds. I have travelled to other countries and found rascisim is everywhere. We are all human and need respect and love.
Please tell it to the Christian or their apostates
6:46 we love to hear it. You do you for what’s best for your family 🧕🏽💛
Wow thank you for telling us. I love you guys and appreciate your voice and willing to share your life with us. I’m heartbroken to know how vicious and hateful people have been toward you. I respect your choice to live where you feel safe. Sending you love, kindness and compassion.
One can understand some people may be upset by your criticism of Canada and some Canadians. You seem like a very pleasant, polite couple and you must know that there are people from all faiths/cultures who think of their way as better than others. Recent immigrants are not the only ones who can feel uncomfortable where they live because of the attitude of their neighbours. Could it get to the stage where countries are assigned to exclusively particular religions/non-believers etc. Sounds far fetched but all of us need to accommodate each other to live in harmony. Regards from Blighty :).
I think they're well aware that problems (in the case, racism) exists everywhere. I'm a born and bred Malaysian, and I'll tell you we have a fair share of our own problems too. Racism as well. There're Malaysians who find our politics intolerable and chose to migrate elsewhere, while others who hang out overseas for a few years but choose to come back. It comes back to our level of tolerance and comfort when choosing a place to settle down, and it differs from people to people.
Enjoy your new home ,may Almighty Allah keep your family safe.
We are the most passive aggressive country and we are also very good at pretending everything is ok. I’m so sad that people are so mean and hateful. Thank you for bringing light to this. I wish you the best in your new journey and hope you find peace and healing! Also what people say is a reflection of themselves not you and who you are.
How do you know the commenters are Canadian ? I don’t think you will find a country without its share of angry keyboard warriors.
Be honest and say that you want to move to a country that has Islam as its base religion.
Y’all, anyone notice Ramadan is one month!
Can't forget the treatment of indigenous peoples in Canada even today
The grass is greener...trust me, ppl are ppl. Minorities are always subject to such things.
Good luck🤗and I’m glad you had the opportunity and resources to make this decision.
The worst the social problems like drug addiction and mental health issues get with the cost of living out of control. I don't blame you for raising your children with every advantage in a safe place. My grandmother was native she didn't want me to leave because she loved me.
As Salaam Alaikum May Allah swt grant you peace and safety in your future endeavors. I look forward to sharing your journey
Because of Covid and a unnamed President. My wife "Asian" has faced racism that she has never had to deal with before. I'm white and have a learning disability / ADHD. I have faced hardship before and continuity. You can't not run away. You have to face it.
I think people attacked you not because you were leaving, but because you were attacking Canadian human rights e.g. homosexual people's rights, women's rights etc. You demand respect, but you don't respect other people.
Pardon? Since when we did we attack? This is an absolute lie. Our religion has certain principals and we have to abide by those.
As a Canadian myself we moved out of Canada for alot of the resons tou have mentioned in recent videos.
I didn't know Islam was a race 🤔
me too
And you think there isn’t racism anywhere else ??
Unfortunately, running away from Canada is not the answer. As I am a born and raised canadian born in a very religious muslim household. Unfortunately, racism is everywhere. You can't run away from it. You just have to learn to embrace it and learn how to learn and work with it every day. But again, it's your decision for leaving Canada. And I hope you guys find the answers you're looking for.
Racism should never be embraced. Racism on an institional level should be eradicated through ideas. Just as Islam eradicated Racism.
Please note:
Islam eradicated Racism on an institional and ideological level.
Either hijra or dawah
Our world is changing and not for the better and I'm in the U.S. I'm just happy my daughter is grown and not in the school system or else I would be home schooling!
I'm from Canada too, and I agree with what you've mentioned! I'd like to move to Malaysia too, but it seems daunting to do it on my own.
You should do it.
I believe that „racism“ is everywhere and in every country of the world. It may not even be racism but just fear/rejection of what is different to their own culture and that is somewhat natural to us humans. But I do understand to be wanting to live in a country with a majority of similarly believing people.
Just a quick hi. Love your videos. Malaysian/Canadian here living in Vancouver. Ever since the pandemic I’ve been thinking a lot about moving to Malaysia as things here are no longer like what it used to be. The far-right are coming out of their closet. Never experienced racism personally but you do see/hear it on the news. You no longer feel safe here in Vancouver at night and I guess the government are just in denial about the mess they created. All the best and good luck with your move. Inshallah I hope I’ll run into you guys in Malaysia sometime in the future.
It’s scary to know in this day and age there is still racism…… I should take my land back seriously…. But am an indigenous person born and bred here….. it’s sad to see or hear people wanting to leave this country
Stay strong against the haters! ❤ ...they are just jealous because they wish they could make drastic changes and can't. (Maybe not necessaarily moving to another country - but big changes in their life). They are scared. They are unducated in this religion and the middle-east.
You are absolutely right! - this country needs help in SOOOO many ways.
Go enjoy your lives in whichever ways works for you!! ❤
I think you are conflating Islamophobia with racism.
I think they're experiencing both based on what's been said, I think they know the difference
@@justjo_kingNah they don't and it's obvious
As Salaamu Alaikum
As a "white" Muslim it is my duty to point out that there is no difference between Arab or non-Arab, Black or White.
There are racists of all colors.
"Whites" aren't the problem, ignorance is.
"Whites" embraced the printing press, non-whites rejected it and this has resulted in many non-whites naming their ignorance on "Whites".
Please, note you'll find racism everywhere
From a person in the USA, I hope (God, Heavenly Father, Alla) blesses your journey. Many words meaning only the One, Find the society to raise your children to achieve their goals.
barakallahufikuma, inshallah you will have safe travels and I hope you find a great new home. inshallah allah will reward you and your children for this beautiful Hijrah for the sake of allah.
As for racism and people who are not good in general... for happiness I try to create a small happy / safe bubble around yourself, wherever I am. Cannot change or exchange the universe. :)
Thanks for your channel, I appreciate the education regarding islamic practice and tradition. I’ll be curious to see if you find the utopia you seek, but I personally believe that you can’t escape bigotry and intolerance, it will just manifest differently and be directed at different groups of people depending on where you are. It’s just more tolerable and easier to not see it when you belong to the group that isn’t being maligned. Hopefully you can find the balance where you feel comfortable and what best fits your family, wherever that happens to be.
May Allah help you guys in your journey inshaAllah 💟. You guys are motivation for others 🌟
There is a contradiction to be addressed. You must know about the TRV program > January 9 ,2024 . Out of the 1.7 million in Canada roughly 45 K have family members - ranging from 10 to 60 - in Gaza .As a rough estimation take just 10 per application and the number is staggering = 450 000 . Whatever the real number of those who make it out will be - they'll need housing / jobs / health care / schools ect. + assistance of all kind for years to come. So .....Canada has an obligation to save them > offering a chance to live in a country you don't feel at home = eager to leave. Guess those lucky ones who will touch down at Pearson won't mind the difficulties you faced .
Your lack of insight is apparent. What about the tens of thousands of students who are fast tracked to Canada only to realize they cannot afford to be here? Suicide rate for them is astronomical. You think the government cares? They fast track immigration for the votes that come with every PR status.
Canada has no obligation to save the people of Gaza, they are slaves to the Zionist agenda like the rest of the western puppet governments. You’ve also ignored the out of pocket cost that people must pay just to escape Gaza, upwards of $10,000 per person.
You’ve also ignored the huge amount of Ukrainian refugees brought to Canada not due to an ongoing genocide, but a war between two armies, when many other countries give them the option to go to. The people of Gaza have no such options.
The whole system is broken.
You’ve also left out the fact that it isn’t the government paying all of those expenses, it’s the families.
Look deeper, start with comparing Ukrainian vs Gazan refugees and what they get and the process involved. Then you might see some of the white supremacy undertones your current, less obviously white power government holds.
I hate that you feel you have to leave your country. I hope you are able to find a peaceful place to raise your family.
It’s so sad what our world has become. I’d be proud to have you as neighbors because I only see you as a beautiful family looking out for each other and living your faith. I so enjoy your videos and learning about the Muslim faith, actually I enjoy learning about all faiths! We are all God’s children. Please stay safe in this world of uncertainty.
Where ever you go stay with together always be happy with families. Our family is our most powerfull weapon. after long time you came on RUclips. Assalamualaikum .
The animosity comes out.
Racism is everywhere, but certainly i would leave to protect my family as you did. May Allah bless you and your kids
Where are you guys moving to
they havent revealed it yet but they stated 5 countries they might move to in a another video. my guess is malaysia but they haven't confirmed it
I'm glad your talking about rascism. It needs to be talked about. And people made aware of it
This is your suitable reason that I love your video. Thanks for your sharing ❤💖
Lots of love. You leaving Canada will be a loss for Canada, your community, and the causes you could champion in Canada.
