Ali was a member of the Nation of Islam, a crank organization full of pimps and criminals pretending to represent the Black Race.
Even if Muslim, hard to imagine AJ joining such a ridiculous organization as the Nation of Islam..
You're correct in assumin NOI were not Muslim but they still had the slightest seed of Islam (no alcohol, pork, drugs, standing up and being proud of who you are and not believing in the western christian of "white is superior) andi t was enough to turn tens of thousands of youths away from crime and into better understanding themselves and their culture/identity. Prime example is Malcolm X.
Luckily, both X and Ali left NOI before their deaths, for X is was after seeing the unity of all colours during the Hajj and for Ali it was in the late 70s, early 80s. They became even better and more responsible people after that.
so he is dressed in traditional arabian garb...what are we supposed to be looking at? Millions of people wear it world wide lol
Anyway, AJ has spoken about being a spiritual fellow, both privately and to the wider public so I don't see why this is such a big thing?
When I look at Joshua I think I am looking at the best heavyweight in the world. Time will tell. If he is a good person and follows the true Muslim religion then good for him. The Muslim religion teaches to be good and kind to others just like most other religions as far as I know. Ali was a Muslim too, remember.

He's from the UK and the UK is mostly Muslim-controlled nowadays while the native population huddles in rural corners like rank cowards who their ancestors would spit on for prioritizing their own comfort over their childrens' futures.
Not seeing the big surprise.
I heard a few times he is a practicing muslim but never openly admitted it.
However this photo is more to do with being in a place like Dubai or wherever he is i think..
This is in Dubai, and he's wearing Arabian attire as is customary over there.

This closes the topic right here.....end of discussion
You idiots in here who are making fun of muslims should be aware that no matter how much you love your life, it will come to an end someday. And when you are old, sick and knows that your time is coming, then you will realize that something is needing in your life. Religion is a natural part of human nature and has always been. Atheists are in denial about their own identity until they admit that atheism goes hand-in-hand with nihilism. Every "purpose" in an atheist's life leads to nothing, regardless of them living for their kids (who will one day die), their legacy (which will one day be forgotten), the world (which will one day be destroyed) or for just enjoying the present (which you, in your atheist death, will no longer even have a consciousness to remember your memories with. your mind is nonexistant like before your birth). Muslims do have some issues, like every other people in the world. But I choose to respect every religious person in the world and if you respect your own soul, then you would benefit it by at least doing some research on the different religions before making fun of them. You believe yourself to be descendants of monkeys which are descendants of bacteria which are descendants of absolute nothingness... With the thought of God, we at least have a creator of time who is independent of time and thus independent of things like a beginning and an end..
The thought of God could possibly have some benefits but I still do not believe. You can't fake genuine faith. I would just be going through the motions if I suggested otherwise for even a second.
AJ has long dropped hints he's a Muslim. All his bros are Muslim apparently and he seems to have a lot of Muslim influences.
Not that I care, but there's plenty of reason to believe he's Muslim in the closet..
Difference from private citizen who's companies deal with boxing promotion regularly meeting with a the biggest name in the sport, and a sitting President making comments about a boxer from another country. Like I said in my post, Trump is so unpredictable and does have a background with boxing that maybe he'll highlight the sport more than the last couple of Presidents have, I just personally doubt it.
Yeah I read that last part after I posted the pic
All good I get your point

Why would Trump, or any US President for that matter, even bother to speak on boxers? Let alone British ones? When was the last time a boxer was invited to the White House? When W. Bush gave the Medal of Freedom to Ali? Even Pacquiao when visiting legislators in the US only got to meet with Harry Reid. The only athletes who get an audience with the President are usually the World Series, NBA Final, and Super Bowl Champions...maybe some college teams too but I'm not sure about that.
I'm going to guess Trump will do like every President has for the last couple of decades and not really comment on any of them - hopefully he'll be dealing with more important things.
Of course having said that, Trump has hosted a number of big historic boxing events, and I've even heard Trump was massively influential in boosting Michael Buffer's career by making him the exclusive announcer for all events in Trump casinos...maybe he's more of a boxing fan and will start highlighting them a bit. Who knows, he's so unpredictable.

Anyone seen that Islamic prayer they were doing in Tyson Fury's dressing room before he went out and because lineal champion of the world? Or those shots of him wearing the traditional Arab gown?

What would intrigue me is to see him become a star to see how President Trump treats him.

Weak minded assh0le :dunce:
Oh please God help me, I'm scared, I don't want to be alone!
Scared puss1.
Okay, so you believe in God. That's good. Do you have a reason to assume that Muhammad or Jesus were just "conmen taking advantage of weak minded people"? Have you ever considered that they could have told us the truth? Don't be in denial here - you have probably never given it a fair thought.
:lol1: i believe in god, where you came to that conclusion?
i was born in devoted muslim family, i study islam since early age in islamic school. i was a model student, khatam quran at 8, won several MTQ tournament in middle school. almost made it to the natioanal level at one time. attend public school at 10th grade finally had a chance to study subject which is forbidden in islamic school. again i was a model student after much more studying i found most of religious aspect is simply illogical. finally i realize that Islam is a scam and muhammad use it to create a tyranny.
so to answer your question, i already did given it a fair thought.
