I’ve found that living in Muslim countries have afforded myself and my family a safe moral place to raise my family.
It's not perfect but as a westerner I detest fellow westerners looking down their nose at Arabs and Muslims because of a superiority complex or because they can’t drink beer wherever they want.
If you’re from the U.K. go home for a couple of years, pay huge amounts of tax, enjoy the rain and potholes and get sick, see how long it takes you to get treatment. Confuse your kids so much that they don’t know if they are an Arthur or a Martha and sit in the pub talking about how people in dinghy’s are destroying the country whilst the top 5% keep stealing from you.
I’ll be here in the Middle East welcoming you back when you arrive.
i couldn’t have said it better. I will eventually go back to my country, for my retirement.
