Trump: Who are the Muslim American ‘sports heroes’ Obama referred to?

Washington Times ^ | 12-7-15 | David Sherfinski

[PAR35]

What sport is he talking about, and who?

Boxing, Cassius Clay. Basketball, Lou Alcendor. Swordfighting (saber) Ibtihaj Muhammad.

[PAR35]

Off the top of my head I cannot think of any Muslim major-league baseball players,

Sam Khalifa played the last half of 1985 and the first part of 1986 with the Pirates. Had a .185 batting average in '86 with them. Now apparently driving a taxicab.

My mind drew a BLANK on sports heroes and none that are listed here are mine.

Figures the Muslim Marxist would consider the listed his.

[massgopguy]

He converted to dodge the Draft.

[ImNotLying]

Is decapitation a sport?

[ilovesarah2012]

He also said the muslims who have served in our military. Major Hasan comes to mind.

FUBO

[BubbaJunebug]

I thought Shaquille O’Neil was Black Irish....

[PAR35]

Top Jewish athlete would probably be the ‘Hebrew Hammer’ Frank Greenberg. Second, maybe Sandy Koufax. Third, Bill Goldberg - first player cut by the Carolina Panthers.

[PAR35]

Ibtihaj Muhammad may have the skills for that.

[PAR35]

Ibtihaj Muhammad may have the skills for that.

[DungeonMaster]

How about volume one of the encyclopedia of muslim prison athletes?

[moehoward]

Wait a minute. Black Muslim is not even the same ballpark.

[af_vet_1981]

It all makes sense if one connects the dots. Obama identifies as a Moslem when he doesn't practice taqqiyah, dreams of his father and all that.

List of Muslim sportspersons

I would never have thought of him :-) thanks

And Kareem Abdul Jabar

He is a known misogynist. Read the story on him from his wife or girlfriend. It is a muslim thing.

[The_Media_never_lie]

yep, Ali and Jabbar come to mind.....there was this guy named god Shamgod that played college ball a few years ago.....a name that would terrify me...

Never p.o a guy named god Shamgod. No upside in it.

[heartwood]

You add to that, the Muslims castrated nearly all the black male slaves they brought back to Arab or Ottoman lands, and American slavery looks hands down a better fate.

That’s why the Western Hemisphere has black people, and Saudi Arabia or Turkey pretty much do not.

[xzins]

Cassius Clay and Lew Alcindor.

They were not ‘muslim americans’; they were Americans who converted to muslim.

It was under the non-muslim upbringing that they became sports heroes.
