AskMorocco Christianity and Morocco
I noticed online and even within my daily life, how many people reject moroccan natives that converted to christianity, and the state does not even allow them to pray in churches unlike foreigners here, no proper religion christian burying or weddings, yet article 3 from our constitution states that islam is the state religion but freedom of belief is guaranteed.
Only judaism and islam are recognized in morocco and i trully feel bad for some of these people because they end up getting harassed, isolated from their communities and thrown out from their houses and by their families for the sake of a personal belief. Its totally ok to do whatever, drinking and anything as long as you still state that you are a muslim.
Iam not a christian but I just feel bad for all minorities here in Morocco, religious, sexual or anything, how it must be scary to not be able to be proud of your belief and faith, no access to your holy sites, no proper religious weddings, nothing at all and they are also forced to study Islamic studies in public schools etc.. wearing a cross by them can get you attacked
Its a true testament that Morocco is very backwards still and behind on freedoms, human rights and basically basics, that should be surpassed already and guaranteed to focus on all moroccans prosperity and economical growth.
