(Quran, 4:97)
You know, that works well for you, who comes from a very rich family and has the OPTION of moving. Not everyone can. I don't think it's as black and white as you're trying to make it. Allah (swt) knows best. If you TRY to get out of it, and can't, then you never know, inshallah Allah (swt) will forgive you, if indeed it's really wrong.

You tell me, what is some poor ghetto Muslim kid who was born in the US and has no funds or passport for going to Canada going to do if they get drafted, and their objection is denied. Do you really think Allah (swt) is going to condemn them to hell? Do you really think that Allah (swt) is that unjust? I'm talking about when someone has tried, and been unable to change their situation. That ayat, to me, speaks of someone who never tried to change their situation.

Do you see what I'm trying to say?
