"I am a Muslim. I am an American."

The paramount idea is that you take each man or woman as an individual.
Vigilance is paramount, to be sure, but stereotyping is self-defeating.
In these troubled times, it is essential to remember the words of the champ:

"I am a Muslim. I am an American."

Champion prize-fighter Mohammed Ali was born as Cassius Clay on January 17 1942
in Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A. Happy Birthday, Ali.

On the flipside of Mohammed Ali's fine example to America,
we've got this lunatic Tyson ...

Mike Tyson Learns Eating Children Banned From Muslim Faith

The Mike Tyson sideshow, which hit this low in June 2000, continued this week
at a news conference that turned into round one of the upcoming Lewis/Tyson title fight.

I understand that the Judeo-Christian God strikes people dead for less!

Will Smith still thinks he's Ali, he's converted to Islam.

Will Smith turning to Islam?

Muslim Leaders Salute Will Smith

Muslim leaders across America are saluting Will Smith for embracing their religion after completing the Muhammad Ali biopic.
Smith was introduced to the religion while learning about the legendary boxer's life - Islam is Ali's religion of choice.

Friends close to Smith claim the megastar is now embracing the religion in his own life and is eager to learn more about it.

Director of the American Muslim Association of North America, Sofian Zakkout says, "Muhammad Ali is one of the best examples of Muslims in this country. He's been a wonderful spokesperson for the religion and if Will Smith can continue Muhammad Ali's work that would be wonderful." He continues, "Islam is a peaceful religion and if good people such as Muhammad and Will can carry that message then it would be wonderful. It would be a positive message for peaceful Muslims all over the world."

Smith appeared at the America: A Tribute To Heroes telethon in September alongside Ali, defending Islam in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
