Ali was a male chauvinist pig!

I take it you were not that fond of him then,??

He was a great fighter and he had a wonderful personality, but he treated his wives like something to scrape off of the bottom of a shoe.

He was a muslim CB,do you think that had anything to do with how he treated his wives,>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
Ducky
I don't remember hearing about his treatment of his wives. Was it the typical of many rich celebrities? :(
country bumpkin
He was really nasty to his wife during an interview I watched.
Ducky
First? Second? Third? Fourth? I don't even remember how many times he was married. Many, I think.
country bumpkin
The lady who he was married to when he died. I have searched the net looking for the video with no luck.
clu
He met his current wife when he was 21! She was 6!
Bob/PKB
Muhammed married his 4th wife when she was 6.
country bumpkin
I didn't know he met his current wife/widow when she was only 6 but it does make more sense to me now why he cut her words off in an interview and answered for her. She didn't like his answer and she made it clear by her facial expressions.

Bob, your comment above my comment went through before I finished writing mine, I took Clu's comment as Ali had met his future wife to be when she was 6.
Bob/PKB
CB, not to worry. The class in early Islam was difficult, but that's one fact (!) I remember.

I think your on the money Bob,and i am not sure but i think her name was Aisha,,and i do not believe the kid was happy with the idea..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
Bob/PKB
Yes, terry, that was her name, she was his favorite wife, and fought against his son-in-law, Ali, succeeding him.
Ducky
He married his fourth wife when she was 6?????? Where was her mommy?
terryfossil 1
Yeah Duck,i reckon that's the part where things get murky..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..
Ducky
Very. This thread has me totally confused.
Bob/PKB
The prophet Muhammad, not the boxer, Ducky.
Ducky
Well, I'm still back at the boxer. CB said "Ali was a male chauvinist pig". I'm staying right here until somebody tells me I must move on..... lol
Bob/PKB
His first marriage ended b/c his wife wouldn't convert to Islam. His second wife was married to him at 16, 4 kids, and divorced after 10 years. Kids feel abandoned. Third wife, 2 daughters, one Laila, the boxer. Fourth wife, Yolanda, had been a friend since 1964. They adopted a child. She took care of him as his health declined and should inherit a substantial portion of his estate. He was known to have trouble with monogamy.
Ducky
The prophet or the boxer????? (Just kidding.) Thanks for the summation. I suppose I should learn to use Google. lol
clu
All I said was he MET his current wife when she was 6 years old. I don't think he married her then!
Ducky
Aw, come on clu. This confusion is ALL your fault. lol
Bob/PKB
Yolanda was born in 1957. She met Ali in 1963. He was 21; she was 6 1/2. They married in 1986, having been friends for years. There's nothing to get excited about with this one, peeps. My sister's first husband married his best friend's daughter, for goodness's sake. THAT'S weird!
Ducky
It all depends on what we're used to hearing, right Bob? Have we already "heard it all"? :)
Bob/PKB
I've heard enough from your Canadian buddy with the cigar, but that's a different topic. I think it best I take my BS values and find other things to do with my time. Enough is enough.
Blessings, Ducky.
Ducky
"My buddy with the cigar", (I think) is usually just joking or poking. He has a very sarcastic sense of humor and loves to get a reaction. That's my take on him anyway.
terryfossil 1
He is still your buddy from AKA Bob..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
Bob/PKB
Joking around is fine. I can take good humor. Calling someone's values BS is not humor.
Ducky
Not nice....maybe I missed that.
