Just recently when Mahamend Ali complained about Trump's "Muslim" comment, Kareem Adul Jarbar ALSO complained. So I thought: "I Wonder how old HE is and Vietnam?"<br /><br />BINGO - Kareem converted to the Nation of Islam in 1968 and avoided the "military Draft" like Ali. HE beccame a "black" Muslim.<br /><br />NOW I'm thinking how many others did the same thing and is that where Manson got the BLACK Muslim connection Paul Watkins testified to regarding Helter Skelter.
