"His conversion from a Baptist to a Muslim occurred around this time, but Muhammad only legally changed his name from Williams last year. He is a member of the Nation of Islam."
Felix Strozier, who ran a martial arts school with Muhammad in Tacoma several years ago, said Muhammad "seemed to be a pretty nice person."
At first, Strozier said their relationship was fine, but he said they had a falling out after Muhammad borrowed $500 from the school and never repaid the debt. The school closed in 1998.
"I know he was manipulative," Strozier said. "He would do anything to get his way."
He also said Muhammad was a strong believer in Islam who attended the 1995 Million Man March in Washington, an event organized by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan."
A couple of my friends went and they are two of the most non-involved guys I know. For black men at that time it was like a Woodstock.
Being part of the FOI security detail is different. It is the evidence of that that may have some meaning. I say 'may' because that does nothing to link obama to the shooter, does it.
