I'm assuming you mean the boxer formerly known as Cassius Clay, who hasn't been famous for decades. Muhammad Ali was fortunate that he was not famous after 9/11. He was fortunate that, while he did face bigotry, he did not face an entire political party in power.

You are simply stating things which are opposite to reality.

That's the pot calling the clean, crisp white shirt black, and I'll thank you to actually back up your claims with a shred of evidence if you're going to try and act superior. Iran IS liberalizing, though at a slower rate in 2007 than 2001 precisely because of the US government's continuing threats. They are still liberalizing, though. To think otherwise is to demonstrate a true disconnect from current Middle East affairs.
