Mufti Menk is unquestionably one of the most popular contemporary Islamic scholars among young Gambians. But it seems Fatou Camara is no longer a fan in the slightest.
The famous journalist disclosed during a recent Facebook live stream: “I was a big fan, but when I heard that he is polygamous, I am like no Mufti Menk.”
However, she added: “I do like his preaching. He is a good guy.”
Fatou’s remarks about the Zimbabwean-born scholar provoked a strong reaction among her followers.
Facebook user, Suarez Suare wrote: “There is nothing wrong with that for a man to marry two or three wives. I don’t think that’s a genuine reason for you to stop listening to him.”
For Ibrahim Jaws: “My sister I love you. So my advice please wake up to reality. Remember that you will one day be in a hole where your loved ones will throw sand on your face to cover you in it. So please don’t joke with scholars.”
But the journalist, who has more than 290k followers on her Fatu Network page, stood her ground saying: “That’s me, that’s just me. I guess that’s me, we are all different.”
