Muhammad Ali is a cultural icon who is severely disabled and usually in a state of incoherence. Once again, Ali is being used by his family and caretakers. Same as with Stevie Wonder, a ‘safe’ entertainer from the past, who gets carted out a few times a year to accept yet another award for his music.

Ali converted to Suni Islam in 1975 and in 2005 "embraced spiritual practices of Sufis"

Who knows just what is going on in his mind if anything these days? Also of note: Before he was assassinated Malcolm X also left Nation of Islam, and rejected their racist teachings after a pilgrimage to Mecca.

Of course Ali's Black Muslim group at the time, The Nation of Islam, was a vile racist and anti-Semitic organization.

As compared to the peaceful mooselimbs of today.

I remember well what an obnoxious jackass Cassius Clay was back in his prime - just no class whatsoever.
Now he is unable to speak and they want to wheel him out to drool in a cup? Desperate.
