Sadly, Muhammad Ali was a loser

I was an amateur boxer and followed Muhammad Ali’s, formerly Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., career very closely. Ali was simply amazing, probably the greatest fighter ever.

But as a “religious” leader, an example for others, Muhammad Ali was an abject failure.

In 1964 at 22 years old, with Malcolm X as his mentor, Ali converted from Christianity to Elijah Muhammad’s Nation of Islam and became a black racist activist.

In 1975 Ali once again converted, this time to Sunni Islam, which is the Saudi Arabian form of Islam.

Finally in 2005 Ali converts to Sufism, which is a very mystical aspect of Islam where you try to perfect yourself on earth by following the exact teachings of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.

Notwithstanding his “goodwill trips to many countries” Muhammad Ali spent the majority of his life promoting the failed, theocratic, supremacist political system known as Islam.

It is reported that at his deathbed he believed he would be with Allah in Paradise because he did more good in his life than evil.

My question for all people to consider, as the world mourns Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer ever:

Who is it that decides whether more good was done in a life than evil, you…or God?

EDITORS NOTE: On April 28, 1967, with the United States at war in Vietnam, Muhammad Ali refused to be inducted into the armed forces, saying “I ain’t got no quarrel with those Vietcong.” On June 20, 1967, Ali was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison, fined $10,000 and banned from boxing for three years.

Ali stated that “Islam is not a killer religion” and “Islam means peace.”

The translation of the Arabic word Islam is “submission.” Today we see Islam in general and the Islamic State in particular as anything but peaceful.

The Nation of Islam according to Discover The Networks:

The Nation of Islam (NOI) was founded in Detroit in 1930 by Wallace Dodd Fard, an itinerant salesman. Fard’s movement was composed of  traditional Islamic teachings augmented by, and interlaced with obscure mathematical, Gnostic, and heretical accretions, including an identification of all blacks as “Asiatic.” This message resonated among American blacks who had migrated north, seeking to escape racial oppression and rural poverty.

One of Fard’s earliest converts was Elijah Poole, a grade-school dropout and alcoholic Georgian who had moved to Detroit in 1923. By 1931, Poole had become known as Elijah Muhammad, and upon Fard’s sudden and mysterious disappearance in 1934, he became head of NOI.

Elijah Muhammad moved to Washington, D.C. in 1935 and began proselytizing for NOI in different cities throughout the U.S.  He advocated the creation of a separate black nation on the U.S. mainland, separate from white society in every way — economically, politically, and spiritually.
