Ya'll said if I complain about America I should leave... well, I've left...

You should definitely do it. I recommend it.
I've felt confused throughout my trip, but I've also met some amazing people and had unique experiences that I definitely wouldn't find at home. Also, I spent 3 days with a group of Muslims at a masjid in this desert city called Ras-Al-Qamah, and there I finally started to feel my Arabic improving.
Also, while I'm over here, it is easy and cheap for me to visit other countries in the region. I've been invited to visit learn more about my religion in Bangledash with a mixed Arab and American group, so I could be living there soon for a few weeks. If I get there, I will try to make a post from there at an internet cafe if I can.
Anyway, that's a brief update. Peace to everyone at the forum.

Over here, a Muslim has to be really careful about their sincerity of intention. Because, being a good Muslim can get you things here, like jobs, money, marriage, house. Which is a complete contrast from America where presenting yourself as a devout Muslim can put you at a disadvantage in some cases. It's a challenge to be certain that you are seeking Allah and not seeking some worldly benefit when you meet and interact with people.
I've never experienced this before, I've had to make alot of moral desicions over here in that regard that have once again called all my beliefs in to question in from a different angle. I pray to Allah I'm making the right desicions, because sometimes you don't know what is the right or wrong desicion till years later; so all you can do is try to keep a clean heart.
