    Nothing wrong with a man of faith saying God is great. Many boxers thank Jesus as their lord and savior post fight. What is the difference, outside of one sounding more foolish?

    It's Ramadan. He gets a pass.

    You never read where I stated that it was something I wanted. I am just calling it like I see it. It will happen because it is the nature of a lot of gents on this forum. Very fickle individuals. Mark this post.

    The fact that he fought during Ramadan, kind of means, he's not even remotely an extremist.

    There's a whole bunch of rules in that cult regarding ramadan. The muslims I meet can skip days as long they catch up with them throughout the rest of the year. Mind you, it's mostly moroccans I know, which in itself might be a little different to how other regions do it, along with the typical sunni-shiite differences. They've even got different timetables for when to start eating in different cities, up to a difference of 10 minutes for cities no further apart than 30 km. I'd never suspected the sun would take that much longer to go down a half hour drive away, but who can argue with medieval "knowledge"

    Well, religious fighters are usually more fun to watch. I officially allow him to scream "Allahu Akbar" before/after his fights. :smile:

    You have to consider where he is coming from. Tough background. Undoubtedly Islam gave him solace in times of turmoil and despair. Islam resides in the inner cities of America. The Nation of Islam kind of Islam, not the real Islam. And actually, the NOI is far more pernicious that Islam, believe it or not.

    Fairly inaccurate here. Williams is Sunni, is he not? Orthodox Islam resides in inner cities also. It would be fairly untrue to suggest that all Black Muslims in U.S. cities are NOI. There are probably more Orthodox than NOI in the cities overall.

    Reread my post and try to make sense of what you just posted. Who said anything about Islam not residing in the inner cities. Who said all black Muslims were NOI? Of course there are more Muslims than NOI in US cities. Not even close.

    You should probably try and make sense of your post before telling me that.

    Your just looking for an argument that is not there.
