'Morocco's political foundation is weak,' says report
2005-03-16
Surprise meter sure is getting a work-out today ...
MADRID — A Moroccan organisation has painted a very pessimistic picture of the current economic and political situation in the country, stating that the people had resigned themselves into a state of flux since they do not see any strong political leadership to pull the country out of the mess.

In a report titled "The Arab World is Screwed Hard" "For the Sake of the New Emerging Morocco," the organisation, comprising senior university professors and businessmen, condemned the current political leadership and offered to come up with solutions to the critical political and economic situation in the country, which it said was without structure now. The report criticised the Moroccan political system for failing to create a national political movement, which had led to the people showing little interest in politics. It also held the political parties responsible for the deteriorating political life in the country, which had resulted in a "general feeling of frustration, surrender and extremism." 
Kinda hard to take an interest in politics when you have a King who's willing to lop heads.

#4  The Moroccans are less fanatical than the Wahhabis, Deobandis, Mad Mullahs, etc. They can be, because their king is directly descended from Mohammed himself.

#3  Hey TT, Morocans are Moslems. Friendly Moslems is an oxymoron.

#2  That is if you discard the tips who point toward possible involvement of the Moroccan secret services in the 11/3 bombings. Morocco has been wanting to take Ceuta and Melilla for decades. And they are also claiming the Canary Islands. Now instead of a tough Aznar they have a first class moonbat claiming for an "alliance of civilizations" and bending over to please the Arab world.
