]In Islam you aren't even really supposed to leave your native country for good (if it's a Muslim land) and settle in a non-muslim land unless you are being oppressed[/B], and in Islam the first and foremost aspect of being oppressed is not being able to practice Islam. Muslims living in western countries aren't oppressed by any stretch of the imagination and that's why I don't feel much sympathy for those Muslims who cry about how the West needs to be more accepting of Islam. The West doesn't have to do any such thing, imo. We are allowed to build mosques, gather for prayer, walk around dressed according to Sunnah, fast, etc. and that's all a muslim really needs. Everything else is a bonus.
I don't shrug off violence committed against muslims and I feel that muslims should have the rigth to defend their communities just like any other group I'm just saying that we shouldn't be shocked and/or appalled whe we come across hostility because that's just the reality of living in this country.
