When word got out of Muhammad ail refusing the army induction, the general reaction was the question ¨why?¨. As the court case went on, and it became common knowledge, the public finally realized what Muhammad Ali was saying and why he didn't want to go to Vietnam. He once said “And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn’t put no dogs on me, they didn’t rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. … Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail.”. The world got used to the idea of fighting for your rights and beliefs, and Muhammad Ali was going to solve this problem his way. eventually, the rest of the world realized, it was the correct way. This issue was one of faith, independence, and politics.
