Noha,

for many Muslims in the US, the country of their ancestors is the US...

What about the fact that there is no country in existence that is ruled by islamic principles of justice and faith or without dictators and despots or economic and political fairness? Why go to a so-called Muslim country based simply on the fact that Muslims are there?

Was the Prophet wrong in sending the first muhajjirun to (Christian) Ethiopia?
