This man. Wow. Hey, you dont have to agree with him. You dont have to desire to be Muslim. Nor have the desire to understand Muslims. Not even respect Muslims. But not every religion is purely evil when there is at least one good person displaying the best of his/her humanity as a result of its guidance. So all of you righteous Christians, Jews, Humanists, Buddhists, Muslims, Vegetarians, Vegans & Carnivores-ha!), mellow out a bit. Please. Dont forget about the Crusades and the Inquisition and dont forget about Slavery and Operation Wetback (look it up, no joke!), or the protected rights of U.S. terrorist groups like, The KKK, who maniacally spew their vitriol to the electorate electing them on to Capitol Hill, reigning without accountability or respecting civil disobedience, resulting in a punishment of immeasurable proportions by empowering police forces to rain down a sand storm of clubs, mace and rubber bullets on to those law-abiding citizen heads. Simply for, yet complexly, practicing their right to protest against the States blatant display of corruption. These cross-burning and/or White Supremacist institutions are for the most part, Christian (but not only!). Just pull out a dollar bill and read it: ¿Whom? does it declare that We Trust? ;) Alternatively, the State of Israel has not always acted with humanity (yet it has with impunity), as we have learned from the present state of Palestine. Fundamentalists from all sides use savagery to control and manipulate their followers, as evident by public beheadings, for instance. From Saudi Arabia to the narco state of México- among others. Finally, The Vatican has, for years on end, granted cleric pedophiles the freedom to rape children. I have closely known victims of such rapes. Those lives are forever tainted. Every religion commits atrocities against humanity. So I ask you now, do we have to do the same? Does religion control us or do we control religion? And how do we improve our lives with it, or without it? Yes, both are possible. To be honest, in my experience, people who live without religion tend to respect the choice of those who live with religion, more than vice versa. Thanks for having read my reflection before watching the beautiful man philosophize and prophetize)... May We open our minds and open our LOVE- that is MY religion. Oh, and I LOVE Muhammad Ali, and I am not a Muslim. BTW, Hes also dreamier than chocolate cream pie! (That Dont, err... hurt much!) ❤️
