I'm one of those rare people among the Muslim/Ex-Muslim community, that argues for reverse migration of Muslims in the West, and I'll tell you why:
1.) Terror attacks will continue to persist- We can't deny this reality, with the political conditions overseas, there is an urge for revenge. But when you also account in the social conditions of Muslims in the West, they have identity issues, compiled with growing resentment from the Western society towards Muslims, is recipe for more attacks. And with more attacks, there is heightened discussion, surveillance of Muslim communities. And it will get worse from here on.
2.) Multiculturalism has failed- Muslims are not integrated well into the society. This is partially because Westerners are not susceptible to change, but mostly due to Islamic lifestyle simply not compatible with Western lifestyle. There are many Muslims who embrace the popular lifestyle, that don't really have identity issues, but there is a large minority that do, finding themselves in a struggle between deciding which way they should sway themselves. I personally believe, these identity issues can be solved if Muslims go back to their nations of origin. Since in the West, most Muslims only mingle with people of their same nationality. This is because they can relate to each other, as they share the same culture. Even if it is slightly Westernized, it is a Westernized-traditional culture in that sense.
There are Muslims however, who don't have this privilege of being around a big community of people they can relate to, and identity issues are created. They will then try to fit into Western lifestyle, it doesn't work, possibly because they can't fit in, but also because they are still unaware if they should stick to Islamic values, a combination of both, or abandon Islam completely.
3.) Middle East in Desperation- The Middle East is an incomprehensible situation. There are strong ethnic rivalries, but also inter-religious ones. The youth of the Middle East are very suspect to militancy, they are taking chances with their independent decisions that are very risky. Due to local crackdown, but also foreign militarism. There is increasingly pro-Islamist sentiment, if something in the West or in the Middle East occurs, such as deportation of Muslims, or Muslim minorities in West being under danger, or a Saudi-Iranian war in the region, or shift in direction of the Syrian conflict, ie many possibilities, this can cause many people to 'come out of the closet' and assist an Islamic revolution that could take place. Which could spark regional war or Western intervention, that will further cause problems with local Muslim communities of the West.
4.) Alternative Human Model- What is happening overseas, is a struggle. Not just a political or religious one, it is a social one. There are a group of people who don't believe in Capitalism, modern lifestyle, or the effects of Globalism. They are trying to prove to their people, that they can provide an alternative, functioning society, that will free them from oppression, evils of materialism and capitalism, etc....They want to prove you can have a functioning and religious society in the modern day where model of capitalism is prevalent. And these people are willing to fight for this society. This society appeals to some Western Muslims, but also some Westerns who convert to Islam. And it will continue sparking a divide in the West, if people with two different world views aren't separated from each other.
5.) Working from ground up- Muslims need to work from ground up. With the failed state of the region, it is better everything is let loose, hitting a low bottom, in which, Muslims must work from ground up to reform the society and provide a model that locals will accept. As they clearly aren't accepting the current model the governments of the world and local governments are providing for them. And I believe, Western Muslims can assist Middle Eastern Muslims in putting together technical and legal aspects for this society, that is compatible with Islam but also global economy. The Muslim Prophet Mohammed, did exactly this. He fractured the society of the Arabs, then worked from the ground up to form a new and different one. And succeeded on his part in at least temporarily uniting the society but also providing a model for Muslims to become great, powerful and thriving.
.......
.......
For these 5 reasons, I believe Muslims should return back home, as I see more benefits in that than the current state which is getting worse for Western Muslims. There is even a possibility Muslims will be separated from society and identified as a different and specific group, that will make Muslims feel alienated which can lead to worse situation in the future.
Please give me your thoughts on this situation and my write up
