Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
You have to know that this life is a test, however, a believer should be patient when he is afflicted. The outcome of patience is goodness for a person in this life and in the Hereafter. The Prophet 
said: "How wonderful is the case of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except the believer. If he blessed with prosperity, he thanks Allaah, thus there is a good for him in it, and if he is afflicted he endures it patiently and there is good for him in that." [Muslim]
We advise you to endeavour to find another environment other than the one you are living in, in order to be safe. Safety has no rival. If you could go back to your country, or any other Muslim country, then that is better, if there is no necessity for you in staying in the country where you live at the moment. For more details, please refer to Fatwa 82091.
Allaah knows best.
