This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

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