"He’s Not Muslim… But Chose an Islamic Country" - Big Frank | With Faris
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, a British non-Muslim father shares why he made the life-changing decision to leave the UK and move his family to the UAE.
From growing up around alcohol, violence, and chaos in Britain… to finding peace, safety, and purpose in an Islamic country — this episode dives into modern society, fatherhood, faith, identity, and what truly matters in life.
We talk about:
Why he no longer wanted his children growing up in Britain
The hidden crisis facing families in the West
Why living in the UAE completely changed his perspective
The truth about Islam and Muslims vs what the media shows
Addiction, prison, mental health, and personal transformation
Why safety, values, and community matter more than money
Faith, purpose, masculinity, and raising children in today’s world
Why more non-Muslim families are choosing the UAE
He also opens up about his struggles with alcohol, anxiety, identity, and the journey that led him to rethink everything he believed about life, family, and religion.
This is more than a conversation about moving countries — it’s a conversation about meaning, protection, and finding peace in a world that feels increasingly lost.
