Is Mahtama Gandhi philosophy relevant today?

Gandhi's philosophy included ideas such as the following:

(1) Gandhi believed that at the core of every religion was truth and love (compassion, nonviolence and The Golden Rule). In fact, later in his life when he was asked whether he was a Hindu, he replied: "Yes I am. I am also a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist and a Jew."

(2) resistance to tyranny by totally non-violent civil disobedience (However, Gandhi was aware that this level of nonviolence required incredible faith and courage, which he realized not everyone possessed. He therefore advised that everyone need not keep to nonviolence, especially if it were used as a cover for cowardice.)

To answer the question:

Yes, a philosophy that includes ideas such as those above is certainly relevant today. As our planet seems to shrink under a rapidly growing world population, more and more people, likely from backgrounds diverse in faith and culture, are going to find themselves on one another's doorsteps. In an age where technology can significantly multiply the destructive power of an individual, a philosophy of non-violence and tolerance is certainly relevant.

What did Malcolm X hope to achieve?

Ultimately, Malcolm hoped to achieve equality and justice for African Americans and African American Muslims. He wanted brotherhood amongst blacks and whites, and to live in a multi-ethnic society with racial harmony.

During his time at the Nation of Islam, Malcolm was always told to preach that white people were devils, and blacks were superior to whites, but he later stated that he no longer believed in that. A quote to deny the fact that he was racist was, "I am not a racist.... In the past I permitted myself to be used...to make sweeping indictments of all white people, the entire white race and these generalizations have caused injuries to some whites who perhaps did not deserve to be hurt. Because of the spiritual enlightenment which I was blessed to receive as a result of my recent pilgrimage to the Holy city of Mecca, I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of any one race. I am now striving to live the life of a true...Muslim. I must repeat that I am not a racist nor do I subscribe to the tenants of racism. I can state in all sincerity that I wish nothing but freedom, justice and equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people." This clearly tells us that all he wanted was the chance for black people to be seen as humans first, and then seen as colours. He also once said that unity between black and white people can only happen if black people form a tight knit bond first. This was his reason for trying to build up a large community of black people who all wanted the same thing; liberty.

What is the nation of Islam?

This is a confusing question because there is the African-American religion called "the Nation of Islam" while Sunni and Shiite Muslims consider themselves one nation or Umma. As a result, Muslims in the Islamic World who are unaware of the American usage often think the question is about them while Americans have a very different idea in mind.

The Nation of Islam (African-American Religion)

It is a racist organization that started in USA. It is quite different than main stream islam. As the 'Nation of Islam' claim that Elijah is a Prophet after the Prophet Mohammed [peace upon him and his Holy progeny], then this would result in the followers of the 'Nation of Islam' to not be Muslims as it is compulsory on a Muslim to believe that the Prophet Muhammed is the Last Prophet. Refer to question below.

The Nation of Islam (Islamic Umma)

Present day Islam originated in Arabia. The last prophet of islam started preaching Islam at the age of 40, in 610 AD. The last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) told all mankind that all human beings are the off-spring of a single couple-Hazrat Adam (AS) and Hazrat Eve (AS). Islam is for whole human race. Its appeal is to all humans. It believes in universal human brotherhood. According to the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) Almighty Allah has created all humans from one couple- Hazrat Adam (AS) and Hazrat Eve (AS). Neither any White man has any superiority to a Black man, nor a Black man has any superiority to a White man. Islam believes in the equality of all humans. It is above caste, color or Geographical bounds. All the Muslims are the members of ONE Ummah established by the last Prophet (SAW). Basic Beliefs of the Muslims: 1. Belief in Almighty Allah (God) Sura Baqra -2. Aya 163: And your Allah is ONE Allah, There is no god but He. 2.Belief in Angels Created by Almighty Allah Karim from light. They are obedient to Allah Karim. Carry out His commands. 3. Belief in all heavenly books, including Tora, Zaboor, the Bible, the last one being the Qur'an. 4. Belief in all the Messengers of Almighty Allah- No distinction among them. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) being the last Prophet of Islam. NO Prophet after him. 5. Belief in the Day of Judgment. Almighty Allah Karim is the Sole Ruler/Master of that Day. He enjoys the absolute authority to send people to Heaven or Hell. 6. Good and bad Destiny being in the Hands of Almighty Allah. No One can change his destiny. 7. Life hereafter: All the dead will be raised again and judged according to their good or bad deeds. There will be no death to them.8. Hell and Heaven (Paradise)

How do you teach a mouse to do tricks like roll a marble back to you?

Mice are very hard to train, but this is how you teach a rat to do it. Place a treat on a table (your training ground, it's safest) put the marble on top of treat. Mouse should nudge the ball to get the treat. Continue to do this in short sessions(five to ten minutes) everday about twice a day. Eventually do not leave a treat under the marble. When the mouse nudges the marble you then hand him the treat. When he's used to that, hold out on giving him the treat until he's nudged the marble hard enough to your satisfaction. Thusly you have now trained a mouse to nudge a marble, which can be turned into a bowling trick, or soccer, or a fetch trick. A tip: when the mouse does this repeatedly it's recommended with rats that you don't give them a treat everytime, so they won't deceide the effort isn't worth a treat they're bored with. This might be applied for mice as well.
