"If I thought going to war would bring freedom and equality to twenty-two million of my people, they wouldn’t have to draft me. I’d join tomorrow. But I either have to obey the laws of the land or the laws of Allah. I have nothing to lose by standing up and following my beliefs. We’ve been in jail for four hundred years."

I, along with millions of others, was drafted and served. How was it that this guy who made a living beating up people was allowed to go his way?

This adulation of Cassius Clay is rather like pointing to a good Nazi and saying he the real Nazism; not Hitler.

Many of us are sick of all the B.S. If this was the society America had back in WW2, you'd have people saying Nazis are just misunderstood and be called a bigot, racist, homophobe for not liking Hitler and that the Jews were getting what they deserved.

Nazism and Islam are pretty much the same, just different views on what kind of people should be left alive.

Nation of Islam is not Islam. It is a black separatist militant UFO cult.

Right; According to the life, teachings and heinous blood-thirsty, brutal acts, actions and teachings of Mohammed, the koran and the hadiths: ISIS/ISIL is REAL ISLAM!

Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump, now the party’s presumptive nominee, has seemingly co-opted that hostility for political gain, on Sunday even suggesting a Muslim judge could be biased against him in US courts.

White cops don’t treat blacks right. Tests are biased against minorities. Trump is only using the same arguments we hear from others all the time.

Apparently the ‘moderator’ doesn’t want the photo of Cassius Clay in Muslim garb to appear along with most of the excerption I posted. Butchering article postings like this would make some think that FR isn’t free....even though we send periodic contributions to keep it afloat.

Islam treats women as chattel to be used and mutilated.

Sharia law is cruel and barbaric.

Muslims are sworn to the suppression and death of infidels.

So Ali is the real face of Islam?

I posted four articles this morning with comments. The ‘moderator’ has removed three of them and butchered this one.

What’s gives?

When you continually ignore copyright restrictions, as you have multiple times, one can easily conclude that you wish for the owner of Free Republic to be forced to pay exorbitant attorneys' fees, court costs and charges in defense of copyright infringement lawsuits.

Or perhaps it is that you are personally willing and able to reimburse to the owner of Free Republic, all fines, court costs and attorneys' fees, brought about by your blatant disregard for others' copyrighted material and the copyright restrictions imposed upon Free Republic found in Free Republic's copyright restriction list:

The Nation of Islam isn't islamic, but it's still a good point.

Ah, he backed Reagan and compared to today, he was the most peaceful muslim on the planet :)

But the real ISIS is the one who burned 16 yazudi women in iron cages the other day.

How many years from now will we say the world stood by as another holocaust took place?

What is it, if not that?
