Fighting Radicalism: Morocco's New 'Support Plan'
Contact: Mourad Beni-ich, 571-214-0842

VIENNA, Va., June 14, 2014 /Standard Newswire/ -- There is no doubt that the most fearsome enemy of any modern State in the 21st Century is religious fanaticism and theological fundamentalism, which usually leads to spreading terror and religious radicalism within societies. Such a phenomenon was not due to anything but a lack of deeper understanding of the Islamic peaceful rituals as well as poor orientation.

To find new measures to cure the Moroccan society of radicalism and fundamentalism, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the Commander of the faithful, presided on Friday June 13th, 2014 in Rabat, over the ceremony of presentation of the "Support Plan" to religious management at the local level. This plan aims to protect mosques in the country from exploitation and improve the level of training in the service of religious values, including those relating to citizenship and, in accordance with the principles of the Maliki rite. It also seeks to expand the scope of religious training at the local level through a coaching staff consisting of 1300 Imams/Mourchidines spread across the prefectures and provinces of the Kingdom.

This plan will certainly help those seeking a career in Islamic and religious leadership to better understand, perform and teach what is Islam is promoting in the society, which is the reign of peace and unity between the layers of the nation. The Moroccan Monarch perfectly understood that the actions of some Islamic radicals do not represent Islam in any capacity, and they have been trying for decades to promote hatred and promoting differences over what could have been uniting the nation.

This is yet another clever and smart strategy by King Mohammed VI to extract fanaticism from its roots. He realizes that the most effective tool to fight radicalism is improving religious education and teachings. Ignorance and poor religious understanding are the most fearsome enemies of mankind, and by enacting this "Support Plan," His Majesty is taking the entire spiritual teaching to a different level. This is why Morocco has become mecca for many regional and continental Muslim scholars to come and learn from the expertise of Moroccan Imams.

This latest Royal strategy to improve religious reforms is what has made Morocco, for the past 15 years, a land of peace and tolerance. Morocco has been harvesting the results of the strategies His Majesty adopted when He inherited the Moroccan throne. Peace, security, stability, religious freedom and tolerance are all modern qualities which are absent in many countries around the world, and Morocco is blessed to have a King who puts the prosperity and stability of his people above any other matter. Respect is earned, and King Mohamed VI has earned the respect and love of both his people and the world at large.
