16 Muslim Celebrities Who Make America Great

Iman, Ice Cube, Mahershala Ali and more.

Ice Cube - We know a lot about N.W.A member and hip-hop legend Ice Cube, but did you know he converted to Islam in the 1990s? Seeing the rapper’s passionate view on police brutality and Trump’s lax approach to the subject, we have a feeling these two will not see eye to eye.(Photo: Scott Kowalchyk/CBS via Getty Images)
Dr. Oz - Here’s possibly Trump’s worst nightmare: a Muslim with power. Mehmet Oz, known widely as simply Dr. Oz, grew up in a strict Muslim household with a traditional Islamic father and a more secular Muslim mother. In 2009, he was even declared one of the top 500 influential Muslims of that year.(Photo: Craig Barritt/Getty Images for iHearttMedia)
Rakim - Rakim is the perfect example of where music meets religion. The rapper, who converted to Islam at the age of 16, often incorporates his faith into his lyrics, something we’re sure Trump wouldn’t favor very much.(Photo: Steven A Henry/WireImage)
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - This former Laker changed his name to the moniker he goes by today after converting to Islam in 1971. He was born Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr.(Photo: Brad Barket/Getty Images)Muhammad Ali - Perhaps one of the most widely known faces of Islam is Muhammad Ali, who changed his name to his famous moniker from his birth name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in the 1960s after converting to the faith. He later converted to Sunni Islam in 1975. Seeing as Ali was an activist for both Black and Muslim rights, we’re sure he would've taken Trump down. Sadly, Ali passed away on June 3, 2016.(Photo: Cindy Ord/Getty Images for Norman Mailer Center)
