Which European Country Is Comfortable for Muslims?

Salam alaikum, brothers and sisters. I'm hoping you can share some advice, inshAllah. My husband and I have been thinking about moving to Europe, and we're trying to figure out which countries are actually safe and welcoming for Muslim Arabs like us. I was looking into places like Poland, Bulgaria, and the Czech Republic, but I keep hearing stories about Islamophobia and anti-Arab sentiment there, which honestly makes me worried. Does anyone have personal experience or know of a place where we can practice our deen freely and not feel out of place? Jazakum Allahu khayran for any tips you can give.

Salam. I've heard good things about Bosnia-strong Muslim community there, halal food everywhere, people are welcoming. Sarajevo feels like a mini Istanbul in some parts. Definitely worth a look if you want to feel at home.

Stay away from Eastern Europe honestly. My cousin tried Poland and left within a year-constant staring, hard to find masjids. Try the UK or Germany but outside big cities, smaller towns have tight-knit Muslim communities now.

Honestly, no place is perfect but Albania surprised me. Majority Muslim country, very chill about hijab, and cost of living is low. Language might be a barrier but people are helpful. Allah knows best.
