  • SEPTEMBER 7, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE 7 Ali observes freedom of worship in Russia Ali speaks uith Brezhnev on Soviet trip "The Russians ilon't waul war, just like are don't want war, but the two sides are afraid of each oilier because the) don'l know each other and anything you don't know about, you're seared of," savs Muhammad Ali in an exclusive interview with the magazine New World Review, "from what I understand, propaganda keeps the cold war going, keeps people against each other. If you could talk lo a Russian man. a Russian woman, they're going to work ever) day, they love their children, the) like to shine their eats. They're human beings just like all of us and they're not people just looking to make war and to take over the world." Ali tells of his meeting with Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, shares his observations on the situlation ol the Soviet Union's racial and national minorities as well as its religious groups, tells what he likes about the Nov in life-Style and why he prefers living in the United States. Ali sav s he saw a hundred nationalities living together in harmony. "No such thing as a white man or a Mack man." He tells of logging past two women on a MOSCOW street. "They didn't even look back to see win a black man was out here running. 1 can't go jogging in the morning in some streets in a white neighborhood in America. If they see a black man coming, Ihey wonder who I'm going to jump." Nobody in the Soviet Union was worried about being robbed or mugged, he observes, and people walk or sit in the park late at night without fear. Mis meeting with Soviet President Brezhnev was one of Ihe greatest honors of his life, says Ali. "All he talked about was peace and better relations. He doesn't want his country to fight. It would be a nuclear war and nobody would win. He wants peace and he hoped my slay there could help bring more peace." "One thing that surprised me," Ali observes, "I saw nothing American. I've been all over the world. It seemed like America dominated the world, or had something everywhere. To see another country that could still go to the moon, make weapons, feed people, build hospitals, make cars, buses, cameras, televisions —that really impressed me because I didn't think a country could exist without America." Before he went to the Soviet Union, Ali says, he thought people there were not free to worship. "I went to three different mosques to worship." He points out that people are not allowed to promote or push a faith, but anyone wishing to attend services at a mosque, synagogue or church is completely free to do so. Nor did he see any evidence of people of Russian nationality trying to dominate the Uzbeks or other people of Central Asia. "People are totally free," he says. "This race thing isn't anywhere around." "The Russian people share what lln'v have." he savs. "They're all together, No big shots, no loan sharks. Everybody's got a job. 1 hat's mon' like the Christian teaching. Over here where you preach God, we have rich. rich. rich, people and the poor. poor, poor." Nonetheless, he savs, he prefers to live in the 1 S : "If you've got a chance, vou can prove you've got it. Over there, vou can't get but so big. So there are good and bad points on both sides." After his fight with Icon Spinks on Depleniber 15 for the World Heavyweight crown, Ali savs he plans to devote major lime and effort to WORLD—World Organization for the Right to Live in Dignity. One of WORLD's aims is promoting people-to-people understanding in the interests of peace. He already has permission to film a documentar) of Soviet people in all walks ol life, going about their daily activities. "Can vou just picture this show n on American TV?" he says. "I think it'll help make a better relationship, showing the Russians are just like everybody else. Now, I'm getting American films into Russian schools, letting the Russians see that we don't want war. We're funny people to them, too. Let them see how America is. how we picnic, how we play ball, go to the horse races." THE KOUNTRY KUPBOARD Offering a complete line of Health Foods Vitamins, Cosmetics & Gifts.
