I want to move to usa .I am from Ethiopia.?
Well, there are no shortage of Ethiopians already living here. Maybe you should ask some of them. Usually, immigrants find it difficult to find work at the same level they had at home, at least initially. American employers are not likely to be impressed with your resume back in Ethiopia. Plus, of course if your English language skills aren't good, your general education and job skills won't matter nearly as much. Many immigrants come here thinking at least as much about their children's future than their own. It won't be easy for you, but only you can decide if it's worthwhile or not.
What does the average American think of Muslims?
I am currently in the United Arab Emirates. Our son fell ill and was rushed to hospital with a fever that wouldn't come down. The medical care was incredible and we were treated with kindness by everyone. I only had a beach dress on that day and was worried as this didn't seem respectful to me of the customs to dress modestly (we spent hours in the hospital, etc, in the city). Not one person looked at me negatively - no-one was bothered at all by the fact I was dressed as I was, and were all very kind. The hotel has been incredible, checking all the time on our son.I should think most Americans are fairly moderate with some fringe Breitbart crazies who are hyped up with stories designed to stoke fear and hatred. Most Americans do probably have some concerns that have trickled down from right wing media sources, and so on, but if you want to see what a UAE experience feels like - right now - for a Westerner non-Muslim, then my current experience is a good one to refer to. It’s great.Best thing…my son made a quick and full recovery and is loving the remainder of his vacation here.
Can a muslim have multiple wives in the US?
No.I am a LDS attorney. As an LDS attorney, I have a unique perspective on polygamy. Polygamy is the practice of having more than one wife. More than likely it is an intentional act. However it can happen as an accident (if a person thinks they are divorced but are not, then gets married to another.)In the United States Polygamy became unconstitutional in the 1878. In U.S. v. Reynolds, the court held that marriage between one man and multiple wives was unconstitutional. Subsequently Polygamy became a crime in all states.Now you may think, Muslims have a freedom to practice Polygamy as part of their first amendment rights to practice their religion. But you would be wrong. In U.S. v. Reynolds, the court held that this does not apply (which may have been a biased opinion based on the circumstances of the times). A law that violates a persons religion if it is applied in a non discriminatory way, the law is valid and constitutional. Since the law applies evenly to all people, the law is upheld as valid. This does not mean that it can be challenged if it is found to be prejudicial towards one religion or other religion as a group (as I said, it is prejudicial circumstances to create the law in the first place based on the circumstances, I would appreciate to see more case law besides U.S. v. Reynolds.)As far as I know, no one has argued since U.S. v. Reynolds, that the Polygamy holding should be overturned because the law is discriminatory towards Muslims, Mormons, Christians ect. Therefore, Polygamy is illegal in the United States.However, the practice of “co-habitation” with other people is constitutional. So you may live with other people (and call them your wife) if you are not officially married to them. Officially married simply means there is a marriage licence. To put it simply, you can only be officially married to one person, but call other women your wives.This question of law is becoming increasingly relevant regarding the case law of the marriage of same sex couples. While not the same, the same concept applies. The government should not tell co-habitating couples who should and should not be married. This law may change in the future.

Why are there so many Muslims in London?
Because The Establishment opened the flood gates decades ago and brain washed the native population into thinking it was racist to object. London is no longer really part of England. Edit; I apologise for the childish and politically correct, brain washed answers of my so called country men.
Why don't Muslims migrate to other Muslim countries instead of the West?
As it stands today, the so called Muslim countries don't really follow true Islam, and especially the teachings of social welfare and justice system of Islam. The real Islam is overtaken by various new and innovative versions of Islam, which, for the sake of this question we can call Islam 2. Various Islam 2.x versions of Islam, which are benefitting only the extremists, politicians, thugs, corrupt, royals and the rich, have made the so called Muslim countries very unattractive places to live. Remember, matters of the state and matters of religion has a separation in a true Islamic system, but we see the opposite in most of the Muslim countries these days.The Western countries maintain a separation between religion and state matters, and by far and large follow the social system which doesn't exist in most of the Muslim countries any longer, and which actually indeed was there in many of the Muslim countries until few decades ago (1970s), up until the rise of the extremists.The above is the major reason why citizens, whether Muslims or not, of the so called Muslim countries, migrate to the West where they have freedom and can live a productive and happier life.Unfortunately, extremism in the West is also on the rise lately.When it comes to war situation, reality is that majority of the affected Muslims migrate to other Muslim countries. Its only a small number which migrates to the West. And since West makes a lot of noise about it, so you feel like they are migrating to the West.For example, since the start of the soviet war, Pakistan has hosted over 1.5 million Afghan refugees, and this is only the official figure. Unofficial figure is higher. This has been the primary cause of the rise of the jihadists in Pakistan, coming from Afghanistan, trained to fight the Soviet armies. With Soviet armies gone, they brought their 'skills' to Pakistan UNHCR - PakistanSince the start of the Syrian conflicts, over 1.7 million refugees are living in Turkey as of last year. It is higher now. Syrian Refugees in Turkey: The Long Road AheadOver 2.1 million UN registered Syrian refugees are living in Egypt, Iraq and Jordan. UNHCR Syria Regional Refugee Response
Why do Muslims think Western culture is sinful?
Because they cannot see that they follow a pedophile, have pleasure marriages i.e. get "married" purely for lust, engage in bacha bazi (where in a male does it with a child), they look at women like they are objects they call them "aurat" which is the private part of the female body. It's because they are sinful that is why they think others as too. Just like a robber perceives that everyone is a robber in the same way muslims think all non muslims are sinful.
I have never met this man I am falling for, he lives in Algeria, me in America. Why would he want me instead of a Muslim from his own country?
Hello, I am from Algeria and living in the United States so I am a familiar with both cultures, besides this is the 3rd time I receive a request to answer this question.Just because someone if from Algeria, he can be a Muslim or merry an Algerian woman, even if he is a Muslim, there is no prohibition of marrying someone from another religion or an atheist.There are many reasons an Algerian may fall in love with you, we can start with your beauty, your personality, your knowledge (the list is quite long).He may also want to move from his country, start a new life with someone, live a happy life.But let’s see the facts, you live in the United States, you have a US citizenship or Residence and this is someone every human can dream about.He lives in Algeria, the country is not progressing, and the government is corrupted, every single Algerian want to move abroad and work hard for a better life.I can not speak on behalf of your friend, but personally, living in Algeria was a nightmare, I worked like crazy to travel in Europe and I ended up in NewYork at the age of 25, not all Algerians have the luck I had (but they probably deserve it as much as I do, because they are amazing hard working people).One last thing : Algeria is a very safe country, even if a large portion of the population is Muslim, they are all against religion extremism, and everybody contribute to the fight of possible terrorism (we lived what we call a black decade) so you do not really have to worry about that.Feel free to send me a private message if you have more questions.PS : I used my phone to answer this question, I probably skipped a couple of topics and made some typo errors, I apologize in advance.
