He was a traitor
Reader comment on item: Muhammad Ali's "Beautiful Soul"
Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Jun 11, 2016 at 07:46
Dr Pipes
Muhammad Ali was a traitor to this great country. He did not want to be drafted in the army could it be because he was also a coward?
As for his conversion to Islam: There is no doubt that he had no clue or he was in denial about the anti-Black racism in Islam and among the Arabs and the history of the Arab slave trade of Africans and for this I fell sorry for him
Still I wish him to RIP
