Yeah, just like they did Jane Fonda. Fanned the flames to a fever pitch while our troops were in harm’s way. Our troops won the war and the Washington Low Life and media gave it away. America didn’t lose in Vietnam, the Black hearted politicians did.

Actually he said; "Fruum hibble rennoit senswable pooket."
But that's what he meant, I'm sure.

Why has my comment been submitted for review?
And why when I try to compose mail it says: Sorry, your account is too new to use this feature.
What's up?

I’d love to see him begin every speech, quran in hand, just reading from THEIR “HOLY” BOOK.

The muslim workaround for this one is to say that the only true reading of the quran is in Arabic. Any other language is translating it wrong... even though there are many Muslims and even Al Qaeda members who have converted and confirm veracity.

Muhammad Ali, one of the most famous athletes in American history and a convert to Islam in the 1960s, returned to the public spotlight Wednesday night to say that political leaders had a responsibility to foster understanding about his religion.

What's so hard to understand? Everything you need to know is in the Koran...oh wait, and in the Hadith, sorry, and in Shariah. And about the Koran, you have to make a distinction between the Mecca Koran and the Medina Koran. Oh and latter verses in the Koran abrogate earlier verses in the Koran. But don't forget that the Koran is not written chronologically, so it's kinda hard to know which Koranic verse is actually in effect of which is not. And always remember that things in the Hadith and Shariah hold the same weight as the Koran, so while no mention of a thing is in the Koran, if it is in the other two, a devout Muslim must adhere to it, so make sure you cross check the three tomes.

See...simple and easy...I don't understand why folks are so confused about Islam. /s

Does anyone even remember his real name, Cassius Clay anymore?

Thats what i call him, he went to Islam not to convert, read the history of why.

[mulligan]

Who cares?

[beethovenfan]

Senile and punch-drunk.

[Olog-hai]

Yes, some of us do remember his birth name. What makes his name change all the more insulting is that he was named after an abolitionist, whereas all forms of Islam are about slavery.

[philetus]

To do that they would ALL have to convert from Islam.

[scooby321]

That is not Ali

He is Senile

Have not heard any follow-up to assertions made by Muhammad Ali anytime recently.

[right way right]

Well, Ali’s brain is basically dust, sooo.....no surprise here.

[Olog-hai]

Getting close to being a literal state of being.

[hoagy62]

Gaseous Clay — please go away.

If the news is any indication, you may get your wish sooner rather than later...

Muhammed Ali Placed On Life Support

The article is dated today.

[dfwgator]

I understood everything after 9/11.

[right way right]

I didn't mean to kill him. Weird coincidence.

Kind if like the two US Air force and Navy crashes yesterday. Sad Ali was a Muslim. Tragic.
