Ali hid behind a religion that advocates killing infidels (again, read the qur'an!), and the Viet Cong were infidels to him. He could have gone and killed infidels. He choose to hide behind Islam. He is - or at least was - a coward AND a hypocrite. (By the way, Ali - when in his "prime" as a Heavyweight boxer - was and is the greatest Heavyweight boxer that has ever lived. In the Ring, he truly was and will probably remain "the greatest" boxer in history in his weight division.)

Wait a second. If the Qur'an allows the faithful to go out and kill infidels, how was Ali "hiding behind Islam" by not going to Vietnam to kill infidels?
Are you saying that any Muslim who does not go out on the street and starts to shoot infidels is a hypocrit? Is a Jew who does not keep Kosher a hypocrit?
