    I have been mistaken for someone who cares when a religion was actually founded.

    I’m pointing out that you’re a person who doesn’t know the basics of a belief system you’re criticising.

    Hajj is obligatory once in a lifetime for people who are able to make the journey.

    For people who are able to afford air travel, I doubt that one international trip per lifetime is going to make a significant difference in their carbon emissions.

        Your improv cue was “you’re a grade school student throwing a tantrum when someone points out major factual errors in your book review of Alice in Wonderland”

        You can’t prove that. That’s just your belief.

        If you get angry because other people have different beliefs from you, then what does that make you?

        I’d say it makes you the equivalent of a religious zealot.

            Projection? Are you suggesting that I’m intolerant of other people’s belief systems?

            On the contrary. I spoke up for Islam because you were attacking Islam. I would do the same for Jews or Buddhists or Hindus or atheists or anyone.

            I believe in peaceful coexistence. I am only intolerant of intolerance.

                I was pointing out the absurdity of demanding someone have intricate knowledge of all the details of another person’s delusional fantasies

                I’m not talking about intricate knowledge. I’m talking about the basics.

                The stuff I’m saying about Islam here is stuff I learned from an illustrated book about world religions that I read in my school library when I was 14.

                It wasn’t super detailed, but it did go over who Mohammed was (and when he lived) and the 5 pillars of Islam (which inclueds Hajj).

                You don’t have even a basic knowledge of Islam.

                The people who are afraid of other cultures are always the people who don’t know anything about it.
