Religions have different sects? Imagine that. And we should condemn them all for the actions of others?

All Christians should be condemned for Westboro?

Not at all. Just saying that pointing to Ali is a poor choice.

Plenty of peaceful Muslims. Ali wasn't one of them.

A real stretch here. Boxing is a sport. Plenty of athletes give thanks to God every Sunday in the fall. Does this prove Christians are violent?
