THE FACE OF ISLAM:

"I am a Muslim, and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people," the former heavyweight champion of the world told NBC News. "True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so-called Islamic jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion." Ali called on his fellow Muslims to "stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda," and said such extremists "have alienated many from learning about Islam. True Muslims know or should know that it goes against our religion to try and force Islam on anybody."
