Question about accuracy

The statement "The Tijaniyyah, the largest in membership" does not seem accurate if it refers the numbers in Senegal. For my prof of Islam and my personal observations in the country today it seems that most Senegal Muslim are Mourides. --chemica 10:30, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well i dont think so User:125.23.118.17

Which is great, but there needs to be a reference on this, as it is apparently at odds with observation of Senegalese society, especially since the 1980s.T L Miles (talk) 22:47, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen several references to the Murid being the most numerous but there are several also stating the Tijaan to be the most populous (eg http://www.byhisgrace.cc/wolofteam/culture.htm).

The Murid are the wealthiest and most powerful, according to several sources including the BBC and The Times. I can't work out how to add citations properly, so if someone else can make use of this:- "Serigne Saliou Mbacke".
