It's a free world.  Anyone can call themselves anything, and  certainly
without my permission.
 
However, the implication that his Christian name was a slavery name
and that Mohammed Ali is his "free" name doesn't match history on
the subject of African slavery.
 
This is not to imply that Christians are not guilt-less in the slave
trade, but certainly neither is Islam.
