"True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion,'' the 73-year-old Boxing legend, who was born Cassius Clay, converted to Islam and changed his name in 1964 said. "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's statement Wednesday, first reported by NBC News, did not identify Trump by name but was directed at "presidential candidates proposing to ban Muslim immigration to the United States."
"They have alienated many from learning about Islam," Ali wrote.
