IN THE AGE OF THE AI: IT IS NOT WISE TO IMMIGRATE TO THE WEST, ESPECIALLY FOR MUSLIMS

IN THE AGE OF THE AI: IT IS NOT WISE TO IMMIGRATE TO THE WEST, ESPECIALLY FOR MUSLIMS

Artificial intelligence is changing the economical, social, and political structure of the society in an unprecedented manner. The role of the government and our relation to it will change fundamentally because of one simple fact: our role as humans with regard to work is being replaced by technology. While this will give a huge apparent advantage to the government or those who currently control politics and the capital, for the vast majority of people who have nothing to offer except their professional skills and muscles as means to earn income, it is time to be wise, think carefully about the future, and reflect deeply on the economic transformation of the society.

Technology is not wrong per se. It could be both a blessing and a curse depending on our perspective. As much as it could be an advantage for the Government or the ruling elite, it could impose changes on the society which could render some unpredictably positive results, too, especially for Muslims. If such fundamental changes are adopted wisely, Muslims could have an advantage in a way that the western ruling elite could not expect.

The first thing that Muslims should be fully aware of is the fact that the western capitalist machine or the western communist political system does not need us any more. A century ago, or even half a century ago, when the western economy was growing massively, immigrants had something to offer – the economic production machine needed them. Finding a job was not a problem. Immigrants were almost indispensable in the construction industry, cleaning and maintenance service industry, as well as caregiving for both children and elderly.

Thus, for someone leaving his or her own home country and immigrating to the West was reasonable. It was a way to make money and even invest back home. Workers were needed, and the western governments welcomed them. Moving to the USA or Germany, for example, finding a job, contributing to the American or German economy and to their societies, paying taxes, and gradually being an integral part of such countries because the West needed workers and professionals, this was a rational. Again, immigrants could earn their rights as dignified citizens in the western countries because the economy needed them.

With the advent of AI and the advancement in technology in general, immigrants are no longer needed. For a Muslim to abandon hir or her homeland, where he or she is born, has a place, has a reputation, the family and relatives, knows the language and is an organic part of the culture, and to decide to immigrate to another country for economic purposes when his or her professional or labor skills are not demanded or not needed by the market is completely unreasonable, unwise, and foolish.

If one cannot find a job in Albania, Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq, Somalia, Morocco, Egypt or any other Muslim country, where he or she is born and is part of that society, the possibility of finding a job in the USA, Canada, the UK, or any other western country for that matter, is very, very low. Currently, the West has a high number of de facto unemployment. A good portion of the working population or labor force work on minimum wage jobs, barely making ends meet, while potentially they are replaceable by technology.

In fact, the effects of the artificial intelligence and technology are already taking place in the economy, which account for the bulk of the unemployment in the West.

While in the past immigrants could even have some advantages in certain industries as they were willing to work harder and at a lower wage, now things have changed. On the contrary, the falling apart western societies are ready to blame immigrants even for things which are not their fault, such as the rise of unemployment and the unaffordable living.

At the same time, the fact that immigrants are not needed, this will be also reflected on governmental policies and political agendas. While in the past, the western governments might have accommodated immigrants better, including their beliefs, due to their need for them, now things are not the same. Quite frankly, the major reason why the West still continues to welcome Muslim immigrants is to subvert their faith and belief system, perhaps as part of global agendas of the USA and other western countries against Islam and Muslims.

Therefore, I believe that not only is it not reasonable to immigrate to the West, but it could actually be dangerous. It no longer makes sense for a Muslim to abandon his or her own country, no matter how difficult it is to find a job, and immigrate to the West when he or she could put himself or herself in harm’s way, put his or her faith in jeopardy, especially given the fact that a Muslim immigrant has nothing to offer to the western economy.

On the other hand, for a Muslim to live in his country, especially if he has access to land, which is the case for a large number of the Muslim Ummah, build his life in that place, build strong family and kinship relationships, practice the religion of Islam, work hard to be part of a strong religious community will be the only way to survive in a time when the world is about to change fundamentally.

To conclude, when the future holds many uncertainties, it is only wise not to abandon your own country, your own people and community, family and relatives, no matter how difficult the life might be in terms of the economy or earning a living. The battle of difficulties and uncertainties can be fought better at your own place, living among your people, not in a foreign land, alone, surrounded by foreign people and religious enemies, under despotic and corrupt western governments, in countries which have declared legal and political war on God, family values, on religion, and on the most fundamental truths of life such as gender, marriage, and procreation.

Whereas Muslims’ professional skills and labor are no longer demanded in the West, the western countries, too, have nothing to offer them. Therefore, it is time to be wise and reflect on the big economic changes that the world is going through. If acting wisely, AI and technology could even yield positive results for Muslims as they could be forced to learn their religion and form strong communities in their homeland, something which the West is actively attacking through wars, propaganda, and oppressive economic policies imposed on the governments of Muslim countries in order to force Muslims immigrate to the West, as we say in Albania, to go into the wolf’s mouth.

Being wise and being steadfast in the religion of Islam are indispensable weapons in the upcoming fierce ideological battle between the corrupt western communists who want to rule the world with an iron fist and Muslims as the only people striving to uphold God’s law on Earth – the law of justice, fairness, and dignified freedom.
