2. Hakeem Olajuwon – Al-Qaeda Oopsy
Hakeem Olajuwon played pro basketball for the Houston Rockets for almost two decades. During that time Hakeem won two championships and a MVP award, making him a hero in Houston specifically and Texas generally. A devout Muslim, Hakeem decided to use his paycheck to give back to the Muslim community, a really wonderful act of charity, but the “Dream’s” dream became a nightmare when he discovered he had accidentally been funding al-Qaeda.
These things happen I suppose, but realizing you have been helping an organized empire of terrorists, who perverted the Quran and killed thousands of Muslims monthly, has got to be devastating. Hopefully Olajuwon has been able to move past this incident.
