'The' Top Ten Reasons why I support MORROCCO

Global Information



Group InfoName: 'The' Top Ten Reasons why I support MORROCCO
Type: Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes


Description:


1) Because Morocco is a Muslim democracy, the only one in the Muslim/ Arab world. It provides a model for future Muslim and Arab democracies in the region.

2) Because Morocco preserves and has made accessible the holiest sites of all religions (Look at Morocco’s tolerance and progressiveness for safe pilgrimage to holy sites and compare it to its neighbors). Morocco also protects the rights of all its citizens- regardless of race, religion, culture, or sexual orientation (no other country in the Muslim/ Arab world can attest to this)

3) I love the tagines, the pastilla, the mruziya, the skhina, the dfina, kefta, the best dairy products in the world, the beautiful beaches, the wonderful music, the smiles you get when trying to fake a Moroccan accent, the amazing night and day life, and the people. Period.

4) Because Moroccans have sovereignty over their homeland (from Tangiers to La Gouira) and embrace their diversity whether Amazigh, Arab, or else

5) Because I’m an American. My values- democracy, love of freedom, commitment to education, pursuit of peace and happiness, success in a multi-cultural environment, and love for mankind- are synonymous with what truly makes a Morrocan.

6) Because of its cutting-edge technology. Without Morocco, I couldn’t use AOL instant messaging (developed by four young Moroccan Israelis in 1996). You like my new air-conditioned motorcycle? Made by a Moroccan Israeli, biotch.

7) Because the only wars we're concerned with are the ones against poverty, illiteracy and terrorism (occasionally).

8) some words: Moulay Abslam Ibn Mashish, Rabbi Amrane Ben Diwane

9) Because it holds the holiest places in Moroccan Sufism and in Sephardic Judaism

10) Because it's ours, and we welcome everyone!

Whether you're white or black, green or orange, religious or secular, gay, straight, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Latino, African, Asian, Indian or European, etc... We can all agree that a world without Morocco would be meaningless.

I created this group because many people think Morocco is something not related to their lives. If you ever thought about this, then read the list again. Fight ignorance.
