Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali is arguably the most popular Muslim in the world. The greatest boxer of all time converted to Islam in 1964 and became a devout follower of Elijah Muhammad. Muhammad Ali stood up against the Vietnam War due to his religious beliefs. He was once quoted saying, “Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?”
