Ok so I am an American, who met a woman on a match making website a long time ago, we've been talking everyday online, and she is a Pakistani resident. We're both Muslims, and I told her I wanted to move to a more muslim populated country, and she wants to study to be a doctor. (Just some details for you) We want to marry, but how is this possible, she always tell me how Pakistan is not a good country and she wants to move away too, but to get an American Citizenship is a very hard and lengthy process, when I don't even plan to stay. So also I am asking, What country (mostly muslim) is easier to apply for citizenship? I know Saudi Arabia is very very hard to get visa/citizenship, but please we're so confused we need suggestions. Please also, very helpful answers, not answers to criticize the situation.

It is very difficult to move to a country where you have no roots. You need to get as much education and experience as possible.
My best suggestion would be for the two of you to settle temporarily in a part of the US that has a high Muslim population. I'm suggesting the US for safety and education reasons. And there are parts of the US with high Muslim populations. Several of the women I work with are Pakistani or Bengali and wear the hijab.
It's fairly easy to bring someone over to the US for the purposes of marrying them. Or bringing them over after you married if you chose to marry in Pakistan. She would then be issued a green card, which isn't citizenship, but will allow her to stay in the US as long as she wants. She could then attend school in the US and would be eligible for financial aid. (Note that you need to have proof that you met in person before you can bring someone over here to marry them.)
Once she finished with her education, you would probably be able to get into multiple Muslim countries, as Western-trained doctors will be in demand. I wouldn't recommend Saudi Arabia, though. Very few woman in Saudi Arabia work because the general belief is that they should stay at home and care for their family. Your fiance would probably be persecuted. I would actually suggest a country like Jordan, which has great medical facilities and is predominately Muslim, but is relatively liberal in its treatment of women.
Have you tried just a work or study visa in America for the moment? You sound like you both have the best intentions in mind and want to do everything the legal way. I wish I could suggest more and sure do hope someone else pops in with a better answer! Best of luck to you both and congrats on the future marriage.
