whether america as a whole wants to talk about it or not, america has always had heros who are muslims. muhammad ali, kareem abdul-jabbar, and malcolm x are examples of the best of us. they've been held up as quintessential americans. how quintessential? muhammad ali was an olympic hero twice. malcolm x is on a postage stamp. kareem abdul-jabbar was in the movie, "airplane." a true american hero. when i was a kid, i kind of wished i was a muslim. specifically the nation of islam. they looked cool, talked cool, and they were at the front lines of the civil rights movement. you may remember in the '90s a muslim man named louis farrakhan got a million black men to march peacefully in washington, d.c. >> a sea of peace. >> and there's only a couple other people i can think of who can pull that off. well, probably also beyonce.
