Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Muhammad Ali Changed His Religion Posted by Eric Williams at 11:39 PM

Muhammad Ali is one of the most popular boxer and heavy weight champion of all times. Born as Cassius Marcellus Clay, this former American Boxer and three time World heavyweight champion, he joint the Nation of Islam in 1964 and converted to Sunni Islam in 1975. Recently he changed to Sufism.

Initially he received a lot of flake from Americans for taking this step. They snatched away his title and for four years he was not allowed to play. He fought the case and won. Today he is still known as “the greatest” and is one of the most successful Muslims in the world.
