Why Muhammad Ali Changed his Religion & Name?

This video elaborates why Muhammad Ali changed his name and religion. He converted from Christianity to Islam. He believed that his original name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was inspired by slave name, so he rejected it and chose the name and religion which was appealing to him.

I am a Roman Catholic and I agree with Ali. Nobody can force one's beliefs unto others no matter how benevolent one thinks his purpose is. Even God himself did not force us to love him.

"If being religious makes it easy for you to judge others, harsh, rude & slanderous. Are you worshiping God or your ego?" -Omar Imran

I'm good with this and respect it.
I am not Muslim but pushing your religion onto others is wrong.
If he wanted to switch religions due to this I am glad he did.

Edit: These replies are ridiculous

Bilal used to be an African slave and he was one of the close companions of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). He was the first Muslim to recite the Adhan, to this day Muslims continue to recite the same words as Bilal to announce the prayer.

Mohamad means( the most praised )
Ali means( the most high)
The name fits him actually. I can't imagine him with any other name now

I remember seeing Muhammad Ali up close in person in Chicago during the 1960s. His face was very clear, but his hands had cuts and scars on them.

In Islam, it's prohibited to force the religion to anyone. The only way someone can become a Muslim is when the person accepts it sincerely, purely from the heart without any forms of pressure.

There's lots of hate and arguments in comments between viewers.
To clear things up, you shouldn't force religion on others, Islam and many other religions teach that (Islam teaches Muslims to be gentle, not harsh and also in the Quran it says for you is your faith, for me my faith.

Also pls don't bring up anything about 'Muslim' terrorists cos the terrorists don't even know anything abt Islam and commit so many sins and go against Islamic teachings.

Also lots of ppl talking abt slavery in Islam. So basically lots of ppl were against Muslims cos of their new religion and there were lots of wars. Some of the ppl who'd been captured from war became slaves, but in Islam slaves have rights and they were treated as human beings as well. In Islam mercy is a key belief

Cassius Clay was also one of the greatest abolitionists of all time but he probably didn’t learn about that 🐸☕️

Its not about what religion is better, is about what religion make you a better person
