Comment on What are the key things people need to know about islam?
Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoI think people need to know stuff about religions. I think a lot of politics in america are tied to american christianity and you would go bonkers trying to figure some stuff out if you didnt have that lense to view things.

Personally, I’m a very curious person, and I like to know as much as I can about pretty much anything, so I do understand where you’re coming from.
It could be the phrasing of the question. If you had asked “What are the core tenets of Islam?” or “How is Islam different from (other popular religion)?” You’d probably get the answers you’re looking for. Asking what we need to know about Islam sounds like a click bait invitation for hate speech. Much like: “EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS NEW TICTOC TREND!!!”

I could change the title, do you think that would change anything?
Here I’ll do it.

You kept the “everyone should/needs to know”.
Literally the worst part of the entire title. People should know what they want to know, and those without any interest in Islam shouldn’t know anything.

Not really. Like the trinity is a core tenant of Christianity but no one really needs to know about that to understand Christianity.
The whole question is about societal implications of the religion. If we were all Muslim, no one would need to know anything.
