No No No - Remember Ali was being forced to actually go and fight in a war. His stance was that he was not prepared to fight and kill a race people that hadn't oppressed him in the way many blacks were still being oppressed in the USA. "No viet-cong ever called me person"markp wrote:in this thread we see the exact same attitude and comments that were directed at Ali a few decades ago.
Ali never once insulted the soldiers of the US Army.
Please don't confuse the two. Small's comments had completely different sentiments entirely.
The Taliban hung a 7 year old kid last month. A little Boy no less. no different to the crimes of reviled pedo's like Roy Whiting and Sydney Cook remember. Is Small condoning that saying we are 2as one and stand as one". The very people the Taliban are harming are indeed Muslims. Afghanistan's poppy fields infect our countries and they allow the country to be used as a training base for Terrorism which ultimately harms our people. Small is short-sighted and completely ignorant.
"Muslims are one and stand as one" he said. So I take it; 9/11, 7/7, hanging a 7 year old
is all fine and done with the full endorsement of Small.
That's the bottom line. I wonder if he would have been pleased if his kids had been on the bus in Russell Square when his "brothers" blew it up in his name?
Millions of good and peaceful Muslims despise the likes of Anthony Small as would Ali I am sure. Please don't confuse the two in any way, they have nothing in common whatsoever.
(Ali could fight as well!)
Any Promoter who puts Small on should be boycotted and ashamed and no boxer should agree to fight him. Anything that earns him money should be blocked as clearly he is happy to spend it on "standing as one" with real baby killers and murderers.
He has probably done more for the BNP than Nick Griffin ever could. That is a worry as well.
Freedom of speech is one thing that we should protect. Treason is altogether different.
Lord Haw Haw is a better comparison that ALI.
