Never use someone comment or your opinion to judge
Cause you know a bad Muslim doesn't mean all Muslims are terrible
Change your opinion
Am a proud Muslim

Incredable

Senegalese opposition leaders also questioned the style of the project, while art critics argued that the body shapes are cartoon-like, with only vaguely African facial features.[1] It was also suggested that the monument is a stark representation of the macho sexism of African authoritarian rulers.[9] The statue's design was derided internationally because of false claims of its Senegalese origin, actually having been designed by a Romanian architect and built by a North Korean sculpting company famous for various projects and large statues throughout Africa since the 1970s.[10] It was a poorly received piece by art critics around the world after its much-delayed unveiling in 2010 and was compared by some to the infamous (and once-abandoned) Christopher Columbus statue project that was unveiled in Arecibo, Puerto Rico in 2016.[11] Local imams argued that a statue depicting a human figure is idolatrous and objected to the perceived immodesty of the semi-nude male and female figures.[12]

In December 2009, President Abdoulaye Wade apologised to Senegal's Christian minority for comparing the statue to Jesus Christ.[1]

Incredible

I could spend the entire day leaning and staring at that statue, so lovely

guy receive life, I have seen and observed it in uncountable times, am even going to Dakar tomorrow, the statue was designed by the Senegalese architect Pierre Goudiaby after an idea presented by president Abdoulaye Wade and built by Mansudae Overseas Projects, a company from North Korea. Site preparation on top of the 100-meter high hill began in 2006, and construction of the bronze statue began 3 April 2008.

Great art work
