Jain - Makeba (Making Of)

I would suggest that the commercial may have a much more profound affect on Jains exposure/popularity than it does on Levis. I think in this case Levis may be selling Jain more than Jain is selling Levis.

LOVE me some Jain *promote *Africa

Black burn, I feel so alone
Without you boy
Now I'm here now
I'm hanging out in the street
Thinking about reactions over actions
Walking on the sky of my dreams
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go
My love, I just feel so lost
Without you boy
I am yours even if time has passed
Take me away
From this impetuous world
Leaving this jail of my mind
Come, come, my baby come
I will show you the world
Come, come, my baby come
I will cover your nightmares
Come, come, my baby come
I will love you forever
Come, come, my baby come
I will not let you go
My soul, my soul is in Africa, with you boy

Bill Maher Discusses Boston Bombing and Islam

Have to disagree there, if you had said that fundamentalist Islam is a threat I would agree completely but by just saying Islam is a threat you end up insinuating that all followers of Islam are extremists. And yeah I do believe that at the heart of it most religions are pretty much the same in that they all promoted good and bad behavior. But ultimately it comes down to people I believe, people will either listen to their better angels or use the power of religion to serve their own selfish desires.
Evidence based? Factual truth? You're condemning an entire belief system and billions of Muslims based on a statistically small group of whackjobs, doesn't sound very scientific to me.
If a fundamentalist is only as dangerous as the fundamentals of their beliefs then fundamentalist Christians are every bit as dangerous as their Islamic counterparts. I didn't even know what a Jain was until I looked it up, and being based on non-violence "Spiritual independence", "equality between all forms of life"(*) and a highly literate people I would say that sounds pretty cool.
But these things aren't so cool if you're looking to build nations and empires and ultimately become a dominant world religion like Christianity or Islam, BOTH got to where they are today by not being very nice.

Sorry, but no. Just no. I'm often annoyed by Maher's style, but not here. What he says about Islam being - in this day and age - the most dangerous religious ideology is simply evidence-based, factual truth. And the dickweed in front of him does nothing but throw strawmen (especially the tired "disliking an ideology can only mean disliking everyone who adheres to it") and that pathetic lie of an "insult": "islamophobe".*

There are right-wingers who will bash Muslims (mostly because they are brown "ragheads" and, more importantly, not Christian), but there are cogent arguments to be made against Islam, some of them hinted at here by Maher (e.g. Silencing by Violence), and to refuse to recognise that is to blind oneself from reality.

A fundamentalist is only as dangerous as the fundamentals of his (it's usually a "his") belief system are: I don't see anyone having problems with fundamentalist Jains.

*if you want a development of why this term is meaningless and manipulative, pm me, I've ranted enough here as is

Maher's channelling an alternate dimension left wing O'Reilly here.

The issue here though is that most religions have been interpreted radically at one point or another in time as Levin mentions. Certainly both Christianity and Islam have sufficient sections in their religious books that can be interpreted to incite extremist violence.

Islam being in the spotlight for its radicals has more to do with the social development / HDI measures of majority Muslim dominated countries. As Levin mentions, Islam can also be a façade or rationale for violence in the name of nationalist causes or as a reaction to oppression.

In many cases the Qur'an is irrelevant as those recruited, especially in lower developed countries in the Middle East can be illiterate and ultimately rely on an imam for any and all religious guidance.
