  • Very Great Mosque, but senegal people is not good. make a money through frud.very shame for these people.You all thinks Allah is best provider.....
  • Who are you to say Senegal people are not good.You are stupid,they did not teach you what respect means.I bet Senegalese are way better than you and your people.
  • generalizing is not fair at all. how can you say that a whole people is not good that does not make sense. all over the world, there are good and bad people and mostly senegalese people are very good people
  • Senegalaise are the very best because we believe God,the prophets and we are very good follow our religious men as Serigne Touba,Mame El Hadj Malick,Mame Limamoulay,Mame Baye Niass and others. The base fondementale senegalaise is a worker and be a servent of God.
