How about Muhammad Ali & poetry?
Reader comment on item: Pentagon Jihadis

Submitted by Edmund James (Canada), Sep 30, 2003 at 19:03

When Muhammad Ali Muslim converted from Cassius Clay Christian and turned down the military I still stuck with him.

"Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee."

There are African-Americans that are moderate and question arcane doctrines.

But when the imams and chaplains proselytize and become subversive it is time for people like The Greatest to stand up again and say something poetic.

"Stick and stay and make them pay."
