1. Mohammed Ali converted to Islam, and changing one's name is traditional in Islam as it signifies commitment to the faith. 2. First of all, it's "Barack." Second, his name has always been Barack Obama. Haven't you seen his birth certificate? It's been on the Internet for years now. Why do you buy into such insane conspiracies? Why don't you dig just an inch deeper and realize how mislead you've been?

Mohamad Ali changed his name after converting to Islam. His real name is Cassius Clay. Mohamad is the prophet of Islam and Ali is Mohamad's son in law. I don't know if that's why he chose the last name "Ali", but that is who Ali is.

his name was Cassius Clay. I'd change my name too.
And Ali comes from Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. It's in one of the Beastie Boys songs.

He was raised in a Christian Home. He was influenced by the Cult "Nation of Islam". Told that his Name was a White Name and that Christianity is a White Religion, he changed to an Islamic Name, and converted to the cult of "Nation of Islam".

He changed his name after converting to Islam, he converted to Islam to dodge the draft.
