#5 For those unaware - Morocco last year made it a crime with mandatory prison for someone to join and fight as a terrorist both in the country, and overseas. He's likely going to be locked up straight away, with a trial to be discussed in a few years.

#6 A little recognized bit of Moroccan history - The Alaouite family claim descent from Muhammad through his daughter Fāṭimah az-Zahrah and her husband ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib.

I don't think the Moroccan monarchy has much time for the wannabee upstarts in the ME.
