Muslim Leaders Salute Will Smith

Muslim leaders across America are saluting Will Smith for embracing their religion after completing the Muhammad Ali biopic.
Smith was introduced to the religion while learning about the legendary boxer's life - Islam is Ali's religion of choice.

Friends close to Smith claim the megastar is now embracing the religion in his own life and is eager to learn more about it.

Director of the American Muslim Association of North America, Sofian Zakkout says, "Muhammad Ali is one of the best examples of Muslims in this country.

Smith appeared at the America: A Tribute To Heroes telethon in September alongside Ali, defending Islam in the wake of the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington.
