Islam in Cape Verde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islam in Cape Verde is a minority religion with a small but growing community.[1] Most Muslims are immigrants from Senegal and other neighboring countries, and are active in small-scale commerce and souvenir trade.[citation needed]
According to A Semana, Cape Verdean Muslims celebrate Muhammad's birthday through the country,[2] an observance that is controversial among Muslim scholars.[3]
