why not stay in the US and make the Muslim population grow there?

I'm a white revert as well, who has been to Turkey years ago when I was in the military. I loved it there. I have also thought about moving to a more "Muslim state" (however one defines that), then I realized, in thinking about this along with my reversion process...and perhaps I am wrong to think this, but Islam is wherever we are at. Maybe that's very "American" of me to say or think, but we (those of us who are Muslim here in the US, of any race) don't have to go anywhere. What we have to do, Inshallah, is be the best Muslims we can be here, and give Da'wah here, where it is needed most.

I am no liberal or "America-hater" (like so many of my fellow countrymen are), but the US is a 'sick' nation, culturally, socially, financially, spiritually. We are ill with secularism and all that it breeds...why not stay here and make it a better place? A more Muslim society, showing that all the words of the Quran have the answers, and have worked (when applied correctly) for 1400 years.

We don't need to leave, we need to live, and help the أمة‎ Ummah stretch across the horizon, coast to coast.
