Nope...
Because it's not the truth. It's libtard bullshit like everything else this bed wetter posts.
I'm no sure Ali is thinking clear, too many hits to the noodle
"Speaking as someone who has never been accused of political correctness, I believe that our political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people’s views on what Islam really is."
Having heard Cassius Clay speak in public many more times that I wanted to, I can say with absolute certainty that he never uttered the words attributed to him in this quote. It may reflect his thoughts in a general way, but OBVIOUSLY, someone else composed and issued this statement in Clay's chosen name.
It is a fairly unremarkable opinion, but it is nevertheless stupid. Political leaders have no logical reason to "bring understanding about the religion of Islam," unless the individual politician is extremely knowledgeable on the subject, which leaves out, basically, everyone. It is the task of the LEADERS OF DOMESTIC ISLAM to make that case, not politicians, and there is plenty of evidence that they are doing so, but with little success thus far. I wish them luck.
Which is not to mention the rather unpleasant and embarrassing fact that Muhammad Ali was (and maybe is) an ardent follower of the fraudulent and flaky sideshow freak called, "The Honorable Elijah Muhammad," who professed a preposterous joke of an imitation of Islam, and sold tens of thousands of American "Blacks" (conspicuously including Clay) on its authenticity. It's connection with real Islam was transitory and shallow, at best.
Nor is it particularly sensitive to mention the fact that Ali's own life was, aside from being a marvelous boxer, a cornucopia of chaos, with paramours and illegitimate children strewn far and wide on the fruited plain. One might also recall that he won his anti-draft case before the USSC on the ridiculous claims that he was a "minister" and a pacifist. Think about that. His greatest "victory" was based on two ridiculous lies.
O, what a great cultural icon he is! And what terrific irony that he remains trapped in that useless body, unable to shoot his mouth off any longer, and relying on a wife and posse to speak in his stead, and make him seem coherent.
