Muhammad Ali: Nation of Islam

Many box lovers would know him by his victories in the sport. But he is more than that, he is a world wile recognized social figure who had a lot of influence on the 60's and 70's mostly.  Well known for his fight for black people, but he wasn't a Martin Luther K. pacifist, he never believed that we all are one pretty nation and we should live together in peace and love. He though that black and white people should be in different places and was against the racial mix.

In 1967, Muhammad Ali refused to go into the force army of US because he doesn't support to the Vietnam war, and citing his religious beliefs of Islam, he wasn't ok with killing brown skin people, they weren't his enemy.

He born as Cassius Clay, but he changed to Muhammad Ali because the previous name was a ''slave name'', he join to the Nation of  Islam Nation, it's a socio-politic religious organization based on the Islam fundamentals. It is quite different with the traditional Islam and has a polytheistic vision of Allah. Believe that Negros are superior to other races (not like traditional Islam who believe in all races are equal).

"No intelligent black man or black woman in his or her right black mind wants white boys and white girls coming to their homes to marry their black sons and daughters."
