    Elle me fait penser à une SÃĐnÃĐgalaise avec qui j'ai travaillÃĐ ici en Suisse. J'aime bcp leurs professionalisme.

    Peace and blessings to the both of you! Great video, she is my sister in faith as an African American Muslim. Senegal is on my list to visit soon, God willing. I live in Cincinnati,Ohio and it's a large community of my brothers and sisters from Senegal here. They are amazing people and I'm blessed to be very close to them. They've taught me a lot about Senegalese culture. Their food is so amazing,Dibi, Maffe, Thiebou Yap, Thiebou Dien to name a few will keep you going back for more. I eat at their restaurants a few times a week. A few years ago,I did a DNA test and found out that I am 5% Senegalese, and the rest a mix of all of West African countries including Cameroon. I'd like to visit all of West Africa, Insha Allah (God willing). Polygamy is optional, I'm for it 100%. It should be allowed here in the U.S, it will save many marriages. If they can allow two men or two women to marry here in the U.S, Polygamy should also be allowed by the states. Here, it's done without going to the court offices off record. In Islam, we follow the laws of God first, not man. Man laws will have you marrying the same sex, an example of bad leadership. Keep up the good work Ivan!

    I know the political discourse right now is going a different way, but we need to be still open and even more open to the rest of the world.We need need private investors to create new jobs without loosing our values.The truth is governments are not built really to create jobs( they do in fact but a limited number), they are meant to put in place the conditions that will allow the private sector to create jobs, and they are needed.

    PLEASE, there are THOUSANDS, maybe hundreds of thousands of families in polygamy in the USA. I have tons of friends who have co-wives. They have TV shows about it, for goodness' sake. Yes, it is not legal, but there are religions that allow it, so they just get married religiously and not on paper. If you want to find people to interview, reach out to me. I can give you at least 5 men from America who will talk about their lives openly and freely.

    Man nothing like an educated well spoken sister. I am just curious about her saying she is a modern woman or something to that effect. It seemed innocent but somehow implies the others are backward or maybe in her mind just traditional. Overall I really liked her thought process. I respect that she did not want to answer things which probably are divisive or would portray her in a bad light.

      Polygamy is illegal in the US. What you are talking about is religious sects practices. Those aren’t recognized by the state. In Africa, the government recognizes polygamy and you are entitled to all the rights and benefits of married couple. It’s a legal contract. In the US it’s not.
