#BBB NEWS| Muhammad Ali Addresses Donald Trump’s Statements On Banning Muslim Immigration

Donald Trump’s recent statements on seeking to ban Muslim immigrants from entering the United States have struck a nerve with those who disagree with his policies. And one person in particular has summed up everyone’s thoughts with one letter.

Legendary boxer/activist Muhammad Ali penned a poignant statement on not only Trump’s misguided remarks, but also other presidential candidates who side with Trump.

“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,” Ali said.

In an interview with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, Trump said his stance “has nothing to do with religion; it’s about safety.” He later continued, “If a person is a Muslim, goes overseas and comes back, they can come back. They’re a citizen. That’s different. But we have to figure things out.” Trump took his comments a step further by releasing a press release on the matter.
