    The problem here is climate change, not Islam.

    Edit: This will be happening in more and more places as time goes by.

      Hopefully “pilgrimage” doesn’t mean flying from all corners of the world spraying carbon everywhere, for the sake a 2000 year old fictional story ?

      And if it is, let’s hope it’s not to a country built on the extraction of fossil fuels and builds indoor snow domes in the desert ?

          After everything I wrote, it’s hard to understand how I have been mistaken for someone who cares when a religion was actually founded.

            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.
