And the overall number of Americans migrating to Saudi Arabia is very small in the overall picture of world migration or muslim migration. Because America is a rich country. I'm just talking about the broad trend. Migration is driven by economic factors. Other stuff does come into play, usually stuff like wars and political upheaval and stuff like that... but religion too
Wa alaikum assalam

I don't think you and I are using the same definition of "hijra." I was using the term "hijra" not in the movement of people or animals, but for the specific purpose of pleasing Allah (subhana wa ta'ala). I thought you were arguing that people who move from a non-Muslim country to a Muslim country are doing so solely for economic reasons.
