A study conducted by the «Baker Institute» on religious authority in Morocco has questioned the influence of new figures in the Kingdom and political Islam.
In a meeting broadcasted on Facebook, Morocco’s former Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane accused the United Arab Emirates of harassing the Justice and Development Party’s politicians, stressing that Morocco’s foreign policy is dictated by King Mohammed VI.
Earlier this week, the Justice and Development Party (PJD) announced that some of its members are visiting Algeria to discuss ways of implementing the «royal mechanism» suggested last week. However, the PJD’s decision divided Islamists in the neighboring country.
On social media, Moroccans are urged to boycott American products to support Turkey. Meanwhile, the Justice and Development party ignores the campaign.
A PJD meeting, supposed to be chaired by Former Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane, has been rescheduled. A well-informed source tells Yabiladi that the decision was a way to prevent the politician from talking about the famous boycott.
Almost six months after being elected head of the Justice and Development party, Saadeddine El Othmani is planning to overcome difference tearing the party apart.
A PJD deputy, Abu Zaid Idrissi, has revealed in 2015 in Nador that Muslim Ulemas gathered in Cairo in 1925 had almost unanimously adopted a Palestinian proposal designating Mohamed Ben Abdelkrim El Khattabi a Caliph of Muslims. The Riffian political and military leader had subsequently declined the offer as he had refused, two decades later, the French proposal to rule Morocco.
