This is someone that is firmly opposed to all war and will not support it.
Muhammed Ali is a conscientious objector. He refused to take part in the Vietnam war, on the grounds of his Islamic belief and also he felt the issues at home were more important (black american). His own country did not value him because of the colour of his skin. He believed that people in Vietnam had done nothing wrong to him personally so why should he fight them?
During a war a conscientious objector will:
- work in a civilian hospital
- move soldiers away from the warzone
The law states that conscientious objectors do not have to go to war.
