Why Muslims seek protection from "non-Muslim" countries?

Dear Mohamed A. Salih:
Thank you for passing by (this is a direct translation from the other platform, lol).
I do agree with your statement that

Quote: It is not really a matter of Islamic vs. non-Islamic countries when it comes to Asylum/Refugee

. Moreover, the nature of work I do -or rather some of it- 'exposes' me to tens of asylum seekers coming --Ontario-Canada-- from all over the goble. Among them the number of those coming form 'Muslim' countries is very little, and is going down everyday, specially after 9/11. However, what I tried to 'reach' by posing these questions is the issue of why have we failed to egineer a moral system that would provide appropriate guarantees to protect the integrety of the individual as the case with the "non-Muslim" West. Bearing in mind the fact that the 'public discourse' in our world portrays the West as maintaing "relax" moral system that would 'contradict' in some aspects our 'moral values' which are supposedly relying on "God's plans" as their basic source.

Thank you again, and hoping to see you again.
