Living in the middle of no where I am literally sheltered from in-person contact with fellow Moroccans. But through my limited travel and online interactions with other Moroccans I learned that no one likes to hang out with other Moroccans, or at least claims to. Their reasons; are that we Moroccans living abroad tend to bring nothing but trouble and misfortune to each other, not to forget that they love to snoop in each other’s business and arrange backbiting get-togethers as if they were members of some book club.Every one complained from the same issues and claimed to be unlike the others. As an outsider, I found it paradoxical. Because all of them have many Moroccan friends that they talk to one another on a daily basis, I personally noticed scrimmages of jealousy, hate, and backbiting with big smiles on the faces. The other kind is those who have yet to divorce themselves from imperialist ideologies. News flash, this is the United States. I can care less about who you are in Morocco, it does not mean anything to me.The solution, check with the man in the mirror. May be we embody these bad traits ourselves. Start taking responsibility for our actions. Be more positive, put a 10 on every body head, especially those we meet the first time, because people are inclined to open up and be more genuine when they are appreciated. Give people the benefit of doubt as opposed to the opposite, didn’t our Quran say “Inna ba3da adhanni Itm” “ indeed small doubt is a sin”//en.yabiladi.com/topics/living-abroad-44-2303370-2303370.html#msg-2303370 Fri, 05 Jun 2026 05:10:02 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
