Come to Africa brother. See the world!

Funny you should mention that - I was offered a job in Nairobi just a couple of weeks ago. I turned it down due to certain details of the offer, but there are certainly a few African nations on my list of places to take a look at

. Plus, it is a lot easier and more affordable to go to umrah and hajj from the Gulf countries.

The cost of living is lower than the US (no taxes) but higher than Pakistan.

Cost of living in the UAE and Qatar exceeds cost of living in most parts of the US, unless its SFO or NYC.

And cost of doing Umrah is cheaper but not Haj, which is as expensive as , or even more than doing it from the UK, not to mention the quota for foreigners which is stricter than other Muslim countries.

Would Pakistan be a good place for an American revert to live??

NO

[CibQueersejer]

hmmm aren't white people treated like royalty in Pakistan?? especially if they are reverts...its good for a visit..i think they'll get bored of you long term though...but living conditions are not that great there and pretty expensive for what u actually get

don't ex-military get special retirement packages in the USA? or do all the 'heros' end up in a trailer park

But if you are working for CIA then Pakistan is great for you.

I don't know about UAE or Qatar, but from my experience of living in Eastern Saudi for over a decade, it was a lot cheaper than living in Canada and the US. Maybe the cost of living in the UAE or Qatar seems higher in comparison to South Asia, but when I was there, it was cheaper than here in general. Of course, some things were pricier, such as electronics, but food, shelter, etc. were cheaper than they are here in Canada.

He said that it is very inexpensive to live there and recommended that should live in Islamabad.

with your retirement money in dollars yes that is correct.

I mentioned to him that I would like to teach English part time; maybe from my home.

He said that it would be easy to get students.

he is correct. make sure you teach them something about practicing Islam as well.

The one down side is that I really want to learn arabic; and in Pakistan they speak urdu.

you are in luck. international islamic university is in islamabad. search on google for IIUI.

But on the plus side, I want to marry a niqabi muslimah; and he told me that there are plenty of niqabi sisters looking for a husband.

that is also correct except they aren't looking in such a desperate way. there is severe dichotomy in islamabad. one side: extremist liberal women. other side: practicing muslimahs wearing niqaab and learning deen.

bear in mind: in a few years after the expulsion of NATO pakistan will be under siege by the taliban. according to our ulema pakistan and india are both dar ul harb and the opponents of Muslim fighters in ghazwa e hind. so just understand that perspective too.

No, I am not retired military or a hero. Just did my duty and got out.

Actually, there are some really nice up scale trailer park communities throughout the U.S.

But I prefer a nice home with a yard and a swimming pool.

The gulf states would be way too expensive for me to live on my retirement income.

The mosque where I reverted was basically a Saudi mosque; and I went there for about 2 years.

And yes, they treated me like some kind of celebrity.

Well, i thought you will do some part time to compensate.... however, even with a job in gulf, you'll have enough time to pursuit your objective of learning arabic.
monthly expenditure of USD 2500 will be enough for a decent living... i suppose.

Unfortunately, my monthly retirement wouldn't be quite that much.

So that's why I wanted to teach english on the side in order to supplement my income.
