"use Islam to advance their own personal agenda."

That's rich. Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali in order to dodge the draft. He refused to go to Vietnam on "religious principles".

Trump is old enough to remember this. I hope he hammers him on this.

Ali did NOT become NOI to avoid the draft. He converted after his defeat of Sonny Liston three years prior to being drafted and well before Viet Nam heated up.

That's certainly absurd in retrospect, but we were very ignorant about the nature of Islam back then.
