There's nothing like a Christain heart! Even the bible confirms the heart of man is wicked. It takes the grace of God for one to be righteous.

There are good and bad people in every religion or race.
Jazakallahu khaeran for this

GTFOH cheesy
Lol.

Big Ogbez, but you can't discount the role Islam played in his transformation and the transcending larger than life iconic figure he became albeit it was the Nation of Islam doctorine which has more to do with black consciousness - than the generic Arab Islam. Prior to meeting Malcolm X and subsequently converting to Nation of Islam - he was a vocal/loquacious great boxer on his way to greatness.

However, after Nation of Islam and Malcolm X, he became the face of a struggle and the biggest draw in a demonised doctrine, due to his star power. And the struggle shined through his exploits in the ring, his voice/opinions etc.. The legend of Ali transcended boxing/sports and that right there is Nation of Islam. Also, one of the greatest things we'll always remember him for was the Vietnam war and that had to do with his consciousness, not his skills/talent. Heck, he said one of his greatest regrets is the fact that he never reconciled with Malcolm X before he died, after they fell out cos X left NOI.

Have you read his autobiography? That's a must read and one of the most inspirational books I've ever read. After reading that book - I vowed never to say anything negative about him till I go 6-feet under. I recommend the book; Steve Biko's autobiography; and the Malcolm X movie by Spike Lee (I won't recommend Malcolm C's autobiography cos Alex Haley wrote some shady things there).

Re: Muhammad Ali Dies At 74 by Ayosh(m): 8:39am On Jun 04, 2016
Such fair features for a boxer - a heavy weight boxer at that huh

I could never have won against him even if it went to five dozen rounds. I'd probably just make body shots all day long hoping he tires and threw in a towel while making sure not even a drop of my sweat touched his delicate face.
Heck! I'd wager most of his fights were won 'cause opponents were afraid to hurt his face grin I know this 'cos Joe and Foreman told me tongue

I dare say guys of today, blessed with one third his delicate features, would choose 'gigoloing' or its twin on the men-to-men side over boxing any day of the week.

“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years.” ........Muhammad Ali
