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. I'm not trying to Dodge the draft. We are not supposed to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger. We don't take part in Christian wars or wars of any unbelievers." Ali also famously said in 1966: "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong ... They never called me **** (the n-word)."
He was a draft dodger. However, according to that film that recently aired, starring Will Smith(?) as the boxer Ali (real name was Cassius Clay, but he said it was a slave's name given to him by white men, so he changed it to Ali); in the film Ali certainly didn't appear like a draft dodger...at least he was present for duty!
