Chrislam
One of the fastest growing religions in the 23rd century is Chrislam, a religious sect that unifies Christianity and Islam. Chrislam first appeared during the Second Exodus (2166-96). Since then it has become a very popular religion in the colonies, though it has made little headway on Earth.
Chrislam's origins lie on the planet Tamir in the 61 Cygni Star System. The capital, New Mecca, once called Tamir Prime, is the birthplace of the Prophet Michael Abdul-Nur. Once an unassuming colonial city with a high proportion of colonists from the European Federation and Islamic Holy Republic, the city of New Mecca is now the destination of pilgrims from all across the Federal Colonies. Its population has been known to increase to 12 million during the holy festivals.
The primary language of Chrislam is Arabic. All followers of Chrislam are encouraged to perform a pilgrimage (called a 'hajj') once in their lifetime to city of New Mecca. Chrislams do not drink alcohol.
