Cassius Clay a terrorist? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Mycos (Canada), Mar 12, 2009 at 23:52

...

I must say that I am fascinated with the compartmentalized thinking this issue seems to bring about in people! Why is it that so many can only see extremes when referencing Islam, but somehow see only the most progressive Christian or Jew when speaking of those faiths or adherents. How quickly they all forgot that Muhammad Ali was...is a Muslim.
