      _"since I became a Muslim nine years ago I have considered living in a Muslim country "_ - You could try Indonesia. Largest muslim majority country by population. They're far away from conflict zones, generally neutral with no political ties to any international security alliance (meaning it won't get dragged into any dumbass wars like many countries here in the west who are allied to the US or NATO), relatively stable society both socially and politically, and a G20 nation with a good prospect for growth in the future. Assuming the current newly elected President doesn't screw it up. People there also tend to have a positive view of westerners who turn to Islam and are very welcoming. You won't have any problems finding a community.

I clearly understand that naked woman is not good and covering a normal garment is respectful for a woman but to cover your face can not be included this and this is too radical and illogical. According to you, does The God wants woman hiding in the garment and being taken from the society , I am muslim and I do not think God wants this. This is illogical and exremist approach and I do not want to see my wife to escape from the society with covering his face under thick garment .

From time to time I think about moving there, but I agree: if you are not married a Turkish citizen, it could be complicated. And after all I lobe my country too. It would be wonderful to make my visits to Turkiye more meaningful, away from touristic pathways, studying our deen, meeting locals and expats!.. Perhaps there are some opportunities for that, aren't they? I would be happy to spend a month or two in the good environment, together with other women from the Western countries.

I'm not doing well here. When I look at the legislation from January 1st, my heart hurts because burka and face covering are punishable by a fine. I don't wear a hijab myself. But I pray and read the Koran every day. I miss the spirituality here in Switzerland. But I have non-Muslim children and one of them is only 4 years old. I'm now thinking about moving away with her. The other children are already grown up and independent. First we will travel to Turkey and other countries. My heart is not here in Switzerland.

I would suggest try Malaysia, Turkiye or why not come to Sydney to visit and live in one of the Muslim suburbs to try it out - those suburbs like Lakemba, Belmore, Bankstown etc are close to the central business district and are vibrant places plus have the best of Islam. You will safe there as well and there re lots of female Aussie reverts living there as well.

    Selamün aleyküm sister. Really glad to have you in İstanbul. We moved 1.5 years ago from Germany to Üsküdar. Economics aside, the Bosphorus is the most beautiful place on this planet. İf İ can be of any help in any matter, please let me know. Wish you a great stay here

      One comment regarding the fisk market area in Üsküdar. The central parts of Üsküdar (especially the area which is flat and at Sea level) are not solid against Earthquake risk. I advise very much to stay in a location outside of Üsküdar center. Easy rule of thumb is: If a place is on a hill and not at Sea level, then is it is mostly solid rock beneath and much safer in case of an earthquake. At least, the building should be max 20 years old, since older buildings were not built for earthquake resistance

    Thank you for this video about Turkiye. I love this country for the rich Ottoman history and how Constantinople became Istanbul. The Bosphorus sea on both sides of two different continents line with countless laidback coffee outlets is awesome. The locals appear sulk by default but are helpful and friendly. Like China, it appears the people are proud and keep the country clean. Love the ancient ruins and Islamic history with unique Turkish mosque. Sufi Rumi, Konya of the dervish swirl...wow.

    Stay immensely blessed; soul and body together, equating with and enjoying the environment one lives in; Masha'Allah you glow like a light. I've made a couple of MoUs with universities in Turkey; lovely counterparts. I spent 10 years in the US and the UK during my studies, but felt like a fish out of water; the Imperial College London photographer once told me, "you speak good English, but you don't think in English!". This has been my dilemma throughout. I always counsel my faculty and students to stand on their feet and hold their head high up in the air, like proud citizens; if your pride (not arrogance) is gone, half the battle is won by the adversary; I think the Turkish people have this quality.

    I first came across you when I was 15 or 16 years old, through a newspaper clipping: "Tony Blair's sister-in-law has converted to Islam." I closely followed your journey with the hijab through news reports about your support for Palestine. With every piece of news I came across, my admiration for you grew. There has always been a distance between us, but now, for some reason, I feel as though there’s a chance we might meet one day. You are a journalist, and I work in television-who knows 😊 I’m so glad you’re in this city with us.❤

    I traveled through Turkey for a month during the last elections and took part in an Erdogan rally showing my 3 finger salute while dancing with the crowd and took part in the AK PARTi victory celebrations in the square in Bursa my favorite city in Turkey. The bulk of my stay was in Istanbul in two spells. Firstly at the beginning of my travels where I stayed in Yedikule for a week and 10 days in Balat at the end as there was so much to see and do while also being mesmerized by the Bosphorus. It is also a place where you can make your Salaah on time and in congregation even as a traveler because there are so many mosques. But most fascinating for me just like you say is that you feel that you are walking in a film set and part of history which is around every corner and yet connected to 21st century comfort and modernity. One of my highlights was stumbling across by chance seeing the almost 2000 year old Column of Constantine which I did not even know of before.

    Istanbul for me is a country within a country. It's a fascinating city and there is a lot to see. I find the people quite nice, very helpful and they mind their own business, not bothering anyone. Sadly enough, the inflation factor got in the way and boosted the prices to an unbelievable level. Everything got a lot more expensive than a few years ago and this had somehow pushed people away from Turkiye.
    I love Istanbul, it's really a dream city.

    Assalamalaikum, I am a born Muslim, born and raised in Europe. I go to turkey every year or so to visit some family there. I recently went to turkey again and heard the adhan there 5 times a day for the first time *as far as I can remember. But for me, due to my health, it’s unfortunately not an ideal place to reside in. Fortunately, I can practice my religion well in my country here.
