Re: A Hadith saying Muslims should not live in a non-Muslim country
But how would one interpret "non-Muslim country" today? Back during the time when the Quran was written, religious intolerance was the norm and Muslims living in non-Muslims countries (for example, Christian Europe) would be persecuted if they practiced their religion. However, today it would not be a problem for a Muslim to practice his or her religion in a country where Muslims are a minority, as long as there is a local Muslim community large enough for a mosque and some form of social network.
