Answer to Question #169701 in English for Mona

Question

Was Muhammad Ali threatening to other people? Explain yes or no.

Answer 1

Yes, to the government or authority during his struggles for freedom.

There was a perceived threat of the civil right movement he was part of. From a lack of awareness of the NOI and Islam, to racial prejudices and the perceived threat of the civil rights movement, to the flagrant disregard for the right to freedom of religion, Ali's Islamic faith, his outspokenness on racial issues, and alliances with people the government considered radical, Ali's religious freedom was deemed a threat to government at that time.
