As an American Muslim female, I do believe I am capable of confirming or challenging the following notions. Let's see:
-The US is the best country to make shopping, as I think.
Depends on what you're shopping for. It's as good as Europe, although in my opinion, the Gulf beats all.
-The worse country in media, since you will be under 24/7 brain washing.
Unfortunately, true (despite the fact that it's not the only one).
-Not the best country for Muslims to live in specially woman with hijab (head cover).
As a European male, I doubt it's a good idea for you to be making assumptions on behalf of American female muhajabah's. It's actually safer for women to wear hijab here than it is in many Muslim countries and also safer than your country of Europe where hijab bans lay supreme.
-Not the best country with social security.
-Not the best country with work vacation, employment rights and work environment.
Not sure where the social security one's coming from. I've seen even illegal immigrants be taken care of by the system. This is a very narrow statement regarding a very broad field. It depends on what the nature and location of your job is. Employment rights are fine but if an employer decides to abuse them, that doesn't mean the rights are lacking.
-Not the best country in food quality and eating habits.
Food quality's fine, although I'm sure it's better in Europe. Regarding eating habits, I'm guessing you're referring to the high rates of fast food consumption and growing levels of obesity. Yes, if many Americans could do something less, it would be eat.
-Not the safest country to live in.
Which country is?
-Very bad country to raise children and teenagers.
It's not so much where you raise the children as much as it is HOW you raise them. Fitnah exist in every corner of the planet and there is equally just as much in Muslim countries. Believe it or not, there are actually some pretty wholesome societies here. For example, Dearborne, Michigan is boasted to have the highest Arab population in the US, so much so that people joke that the state's second language is Arabic and that every other restaurant is a halal one. As long as you raise your children with Islamic values and morals and embody those very values and morals, you have a better chance of ending up with pious children then if you were to raise them in a Muslim country, with you yourself barely practicing Islam to a minimum.
-Good for English speakers.
There are people from every nationality in the world here. Plus, there are immigrants living here for decades that don't know an iota of English. Clearly it's possible to get by without speaking a word of English as there are tons of multilingual services available for everyone.
WORST for dreamers and most inaccurate statement of all. I actually feel bad for the dreamers that come here. Dreamers tend to hover outside of reality and believe that America equals perfection and their dreams automatically coming true. Unfortunately as soon as they step on American soil, reality sets in and they realize that they will have to work as hard as mules to make dreams come true. One must be practical living here and not be in a constant state of dreaming. The average American citizen knows that they need to put in their blood, sweat and tears into their hard work before they can even afford the luxury of dreaming. Yes, dreams can be achieved. But only after you pay your dues like everyone else. Dreamers only run the risk of being swallowed up in the masses.
-Best payment for people with no degrees since it is all depends on your luck.
Incorrect again. A few rags-to-riches success stories does not a generalization make. In this struggling economy, it is more important than ever to pursue an education. People are going back to school in this day and age to pursue professional degrees because even the most basic of degrees (that could have helped an individual accomplish alot even a few decades ago) is now unfortunately seen as meaningless. Knowledge is power, not luck. The luck's been running out with the money lately.
-Good highways and bad public transportation service.
Sure, but it's not perfect. I can't begin to tell you the number of anxiety attacks I've had waiting for the buses or trains to come.
-Very bad green policy in the country.
My knowledge is limited when it comes to this but from what I can see around me, "going green" is the new trend. Politicians are advocating for the construction of more "green buildings" and environmental preservation is also on the agenda of many congressman. Yes, pollution is a problem but there is awareness being spread of its harms and more and more people are learning about green technology every day.
Your first statement was the most accurate. Every country has its benefits and its flaws. The US is no different. I can tell you, though, that from the point of view of a Westernized Muslim, we have alot better here in the US than you do in the UK. I hear every day of so many anti-Islamic groups promoting their Islamophobia as well as hijab and minaret bans. We've got Islamophobia here too but nowhere as near as the high levels of it in the Europe.
