True and the government has the right to do such. However, this is a government that is supposed to be upholding Islam. Morocco is not a Democracy, it is a Kingdom. Apparantly the Government is not representing what the people are lead to believe it represents.

I don't know. As far as I know Morroco does not claim to be an Islamic state. Neither do I know if the majority of Morrocans would want to live in an Islamic state. I always get the impression that the majority of this forum assume this is the case for any Muslim nation, but personally I am not convinced. I remember north_malaysian posting some poll data from Malaysia for example which clearly showed that only a minority wanted more Islam at the level of the state.

Mind you, I am not saying that Morrocans support this measure, but I am warry of claims that they must be against this simply because they are Muslim.

What is odd Morocco refused to renew base leases with the US in the 1960's and essentialy evicted an American presence in the country. One of the reasons was it was felt the American presence was undermining Islam in the country. Seems like Islam was stronger then, than what it is today.

Hard to say. Morroco was very different then I suppose, much more tribal and less developed. Besides, most resentment against the US at that time must be seen either within the context of the Cold War or the Arab-Israeli conflict. Autocratic arab regimes often claimed to be Islamic, but only rarely were their actions truly motivated by Islam IMHO.

Of course my memory of Morocco is based on my memories of the late 1950's and early 1960's. It does seem many changes have taken place since I was there.

Surely you're not implying that the people should sit idly by and let the system dictate what their children learn?

Well, is there any country in the world in which the state does not decide the curriculum in public schools?

I agree that the issue is more contentious in an undemocratic country like Morroco, since it is hard to influence government policy. But what is the alternative exactly? If it isn't the 'system' (ie. the state) that determines the curriculum, than who should?

Muhammad 5 was King when I first went to Morocco. He was very powerfull, but fair both to his people and to those he had treaties with. When he died in 1961 and his son Moulay Hassan (Hassan 2) became King there was some initial clamor over Moulay's ability to fulfill his father's shoes. When I left Morocco Moulay was just taking office.

Yes, you're right.

It was not until 1961 he officially took the throne of Miserable Morocco.

This is the best muslim in the western world.

They are termed moderate muslim by the west.

The apex of a moderate muslim is one who drink alchohols,yet say it is haram.
Fornicate but say it is not right for gender to mix.
Will say gay and lesbian have a right o live and marry,tho they know that is is not allowed
Money is the goal,and for a paltry price will condemn islam and the Quran while claiming to be muslim..

The best moderate muslim.
and so to breed such people,the western world have started to train their own imams.

All i can say is that as the Propeht said,may sects will rise up and only one is true.
