[The Urban Sombrero]

Well, you might think you know Bob's game, I say you don't. I know you don't have the first darn clue what you're talking about concerning my use of the term Black Islam, I never used it. Now, I did say Ali was a self professed Black Muslim and he was heavily influenced by Malcolm X. Malcolm if you will recall, was a sweetheart of a man advocating black supremacy and violent social upheaval. But I'm certain you disagree with my disdain for one of this nation's first home grown muslim extremists.

"Black Muslim" as opposed to "Black Islam" is splitting hairs.

The disagreement is about conscientious objection, and the FACT that Eisenhower appointee Justice Harlan saw in Ali's case a legitimate exercise of conscientious objection.

In my view, the person who disagrees with a behavior, yet defends the freedom to make a choice based on the principles of essential liberty and freedom of conscience is exercising something quintessential in the American charter.

I did not say I know "Bob's game." I know he uses "turn the tables" to see if a poster can stand up under a bit of heat. I've read back through his postings.
