I've haven't really posted too many pictures on this year-long discussion of faith, although here's an interesting one that I swiped from the web (I think from USA Today). It's a picture of Muhammad Ali's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's the only star that is on a wall as compared to the sidewalk because the boxer felt that it would be disrespectful to walk on the name Muhammad, which many Muslims choose out of respect for the Prophet.

It's interesting and sad how Muhammad Ali's identity as a Muslim is all too often whitewashed out of the retelling of his life.
