Meeting Mr Shaban Jafari,  --- true father of todays Islamist brown shirts ---was not the only error of judgemnent made by Mr Cassius Clay. His other was his conversion to Islam, which back in 1960's was slowly but surely being introduced as an alternative to militant Marxism as an "Ideology of Liberation".....

And I blame Muhamad Ali for non of these errors of Judgement. I respect him for his motivations behind all this.

In 1984, Muhammad Ali endorsed Ronald Reagan for president!

Just A Correction:

The person between Shaban Jafari and Muhammad Ali in the picture above is Firouz Mojallali (and not Majalli). He was head of Higher Education (Daneshgahi) section of Etella'at Newspaper. He was born in 1939, married to Ramesh's sister Simin Mohebi, migrated to US just before "Islamic Revolution" and lived there until his death in 1996 (as I heard).

When was this picture taken?

Thanks for the Correction Gheymeh_Baademjoon
