Once more people hear his story, he will be their hero too.

What a man, such a pure soul and so much kindness. Jodie really shows her sadness and the disgust she feels about all this on her face! Amazing lady and actress! Tahir is a phenomenal actor!

I still remember meeting and greeting Jodi Foster at The Islamic Center of Southern California in the 80s! Now am following Jodi on MasterCLass !!

[@sevraonic8656]

Ironic, how one average Muslim from Mauratania taught the most powerful "freedom loving country", a huge lesson about human dignity and humility.

WOW The Mauritanian 2021 movie's love brought me here. Amazing movie. This sentence (See you later alligator) does not leave my imagination is all over my head😍An amazing, amazing movie that cannot be described because the best way to express it is to see it!!

And after all that he retains that naughty sense of humour, what a man.

So much respect for brother Muhammad Slehi. May Allah bless and protect him and his family always. Let him see nothing but beauty and goodness. See his gorgeous children grow healthy happy from the best of the Ummah. Thanks for this video. Hope a lot of good comes from this story.

Thank you for this most enlightening conversation. I look forward to the day when all the detainees in guantanemo will be released and that place of infamy closed for good.

Assalamu Aleikum brother Mohammed, My name is Rinat and I'm from Aqtau, Qazaqstan. Hope you are doing well, insha'Allah. I've watched the movie, so great and hard... Actors were perfect, but you, you are real Hero bro, I believe your experience will be everlasting in that dirty Boushs & Obamas american "democratic" games over the world... Actually, I was in Nouakchott in 2011, worked for government company over there, assembled the mobile electrical station near Atlantic Ocean side... It was very nice experience, I love Nouakchott and people there! Ocean is magic... Thank you for your life and surveillance... Alhamdulillah 🤲🏻 Assalamu Aleikum!

[@elghadi1639]

You're welcome Rinat thanks for the nice words

I thought I was the only one from Kazakhstan here.

[@jching9815]

Powerful film! Great performances by Jodie Foster and Tahar Rahim. Mr. Salahi is inspiring. Luckily he is so eloquent!

[@margarita9644]

Thank you for this amazing interview. I think Nazism of the 21st century, this film showed it very well. Guantanamo- is just a Nazi camp, nothing else! The movie is heartbreaking😢

[@amania9254]

Beautiful movie! A fan of Godi Foster! Really sad for brother Mohammadou, such a tragedy for him and his family and friends! Unbearable! We don't know how many more of the innocents are still at the conditions!

[@elizabethhallowell5115]

Compelling?!! Unbelievable that this is how this man was treated .

[@erickfostercr]

He would have sued the US Government for what they did to him

[@angelobkoljenovic9528]

I have only one word was he pat of eny organizetin ..?

[@PPG61st]

Organization ? What does that entail exactly? Most of the American government have ties to the KKK and are a big reason why the Mafia existed and got away with a bunch of crimes, don't act like the U.S government aren't full of terrorists themselves just because most ain't brown.. Tell that to the families and countless children and women that died to bullets and bombs from the U.S!
