He declared that he would refuse to serve in the United States Army and publicly considered himself a conscientious objector. Ali stated that "War is against the teachings of the Holy Qur'an.

Ali also famously said in 1966: "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong ... They never called me **** (the n-word)."
