3 Actions We Can All Take To Combat Islamophobia
The story of Ahmed Mohamed, the Texas teen who was arrested for bringing a homemade clock to school, has captured the attention and the sympathies of people from across the country -- from Menlo Park to theWhite House.
What happened to Mohamed was an example of the Islamophobia that many American Muslims face every day. Since Sept. 11, hate crime incidents against Muslims have averaged around 100-150 per year, a drastic increase from the 20-30 per year prior to the attacks.
3 Unique Contributions: The Worlds of Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism
Mahavira was born a little before the Buddha. While the Buddha was the founder of Buddhism, Mahavira did not found Jainism. He is the 24th great teacher (Tirthankar) in the Jain tradition that was founded in the present era by Rishabh or Adinath, thousands of years before Mahavira.
While most Hindus believe in a god (or goddess) that is the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, Jainism rejects any such god (or goddess). For Jains, the universe is an eternal phenomenon, never created and never to be destroyed. It is a self-sustained, self-managed phenomenon that runs on the principle of cause and effect (karma and reincarnation).
