Let's see how the Trumpster responds to the champ.
Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Condemn Trump’s Comments

In case you missed it, earlier this week, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump made some inflammatory remarks saying he would ban all Muslims from entering the US. His comments came in response to President Obama’s Sunday night address that asked the nation to avoid discriminating against the Muslim community because of the terrorist attacks being carried out around the globe.
In response to Trump’s comments two of our most recognizable Muslim sports heroes have fired back. NBA all-time leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and boxing legend Muhammad Ali each have spoken out this week, condemning Trump’s comments. Ali released a statement yesterday that read:“I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world. True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion.Meanwhile, Jabbar, in his weekly column for TIME, went even further, essentially calling Trump a terrorist.
We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda. They 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.
Speaking as someone who has never been accused of political correctness, I believe that our political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people’s views on what Islam really is.”
