I don’t think anybody NEEDS to know anything about Islam. Just as nobody NEEDS to know anything about Harry Potter.
We could cherry pick some good things, or some bad things, but none of that would be representative of the views of every individual.
We could do the same cherry picking with any religion and paint them in as positive or negative light as we choose. Again, the list would not represent the ideals of all practicing individuals.
If you want to learn more about any religion, there are resources available online. I would recommend reading as many as possible to get more perspectives, but other than wanting to learn more, I don’t see any reason why people would NEED to know anything at all.
I 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.
I looked online about Islam and I know a little bit but sometimes its nice if someone can help understand. Like there’s a lot of book reading you can do on christianity but if you wanted I could give an inside perspective on protestant sects in the south. I could also dialogue if you had any questions.
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!!!”
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.

I could change the title, do you think that would change anything?
Here I’ll do it.
Ill just have to think about it more because what you said is a completely different question.
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 tenet 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.
Then I guess I have no idea what you are looking for here.
