The notion that a man who did the following would support a Muslim baiting asshole like trump is ludicrous.

As NPR noted, his father, the legendary late boxer often nicknamed "The Greatest," was a known activist, notably making headlines in 1967 for his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. Army in 1967 citing his opposition to the Vietnam War, his religious beliefs, and his identity as a Black Muslim.


Gee, I wonder why?

"I think it's racist," Ali Jr., the legendary boxer's only biological son whose relationship with his father "completely fell apart" in the final decade of his life, said, according to the report.

Da Kine 17, Yes. Really. Truly. Absolutely. Unarguably.

"“But Trump was a selfish greedy crook racist conman who could care less about any of those that voted for him...“"

That's ALL fact.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has it wrong. Muhammad Ali Jr. most certainly would have that wrong about Ali.

Remembering when Muhammad Ali destroyed Donald Trump in just 132 words

After Trump announced his plan to ban Muslims from entering the US, Ali condemned it and the Republican loud-mouth without even having to mention his name:

I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world. True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion.

We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda. They have alienated many from learning about Islam. True Muslims know or should know that it goes against our religion to try and force Islam on anybody.

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.
