I'm a Muslim. I've been a Muslim for 20 years. . . . You know me. I'm a boxer. I've been called the greatest. People recognize me for being a boxer and a man of truth. I wouldn't be here representing Islam if it were terrorist. . . . I think all people should know the truth, come to recognize the truth. Islam is peace.

How could they say that my religion, Islam was a 'race hate' religion after all the plunder and enslavement and domination of my people by white Christians in the name of white supremacy?

We're not trying to take power away or rule anybody - we're just trying to get up from under the rulers.

I had it in my heart. I believed in myself, and I had confidence. I knew how to do it, had natural talent and I pursued it.

I'm most proud of my family.

I'm pretty as a girl.

God will not place a burden on a man's shoulders knowing that he cannot carry it.
