Al-Raya Newspaper: Secularizing Society in Morocco
A Policy that Must Be Exposed and the Regime Held Accountable
The Francophone channel "Medi 1 TV" presented, within its program "Fronts," an episode presented by a media personality from the channel, and its topic was "The Secularization of Moroccan Society"...
This decade has witnessed a frantic campaign and an additional dose of poison to secularize the lives of Muslims in Morocco, which is a state policy and a translation of its comprehensive involvement in the details of the West's civilizational war against Islam and its nation. Morocco is a model for implementing the plans of this war and then exporting them to Muslims.
This secularization includes all aspects of life and all joints of society; governance, politics, society, economy, education, judiciary, media, thought, and culture.
At the level of governance, the 2011 constitution radically secularized the system of government without ambiguity. Articles 41 and 42 clearly separated the management of the priesthood from state policy. Article 41 is related to the secular management of the priesthood, while Article 42 stipulates that state and society policy is the prerogative of the ruler as head of state and excludes any title that refers to a religious authority that transcends secularism.
Also, the constitution approved and imposed by the regime enshrines Western secular human rights and makes them the basis of the legal system. The Constitutional Court in Morocco has a role in monitoring the constitutionality of laws and the extent to which they respect human rights, and the constitution makes human rights govern local laws in accordance with the requirements of Article 19 and the international agreements it has signed and ratified in this framework.
At the level of education, thought, and culture, the changes that have affected curricula under the pretext of renewing religious discourse and modernization have secularized curricula, systems, materials, and syllabuses. Secular thought materials have been heavily integrated into education programs and materials, and their narratives have become accompanying exams for preparatory, secondary, and university levels, and have topped higher education research and theses, and have been intensively targeted at schools and institutes of Islamic sciences.
At the social level, CEDAW has been approved as a social system and enacted as a law for society (the Family Code), amending the financial law and the system of Islamic inheritance and replacing them with secular laws, and amending the penal code to be compatible with the requirements of comprehensive secularization in which the regime is engaged.
The media remains the official bridge adopted in passing the concepts of comprehensive secularization to the majority of society. Schools and universities address 12 million people, and the media addresses everyone. Its programs, series, advertisements, commercials, and festivals are a secularization machine that addresses instincts to normalize with the methods and lifestyles of the outrageous Western secular life and carry its ideas and concepts and pump them intensively among people.
This blatant licentiousness today in spreading the West's secularism, its infidelity, its atheism, and its obscenity, is a state policy and not a government, party program, or just a program on a channel. It is an implementation of the requirements of the Western civilizational war raging in secularizing societies in Islamic countries, a comprehensive secularization to confront Islam, and Morocco is the model, and the ruling regime is the tool for its implementation.
This frantic campaign to secularize our lives in a blatant and infidel manner is a state policy, and it is not permissible for those who address the issues of the people of the country who are zealous about Islam and its nation to fall into the fallacies of the secular regime, which seeks to falsify the facts and pass its infidel secular policies. These are the traps set by the regime, and unfortunately, many of the sons of Islam who addressed the issue of secularism in Morocco and other burning issues have fallen into them.
To clarify some of the facts necessary to address the issue of secularism and secularization in Morocco, which must be understood and their vision developed and their contents digested:
* Secularization and secularism in Morocco are a policy of a regime that has engaged in a war against Islam, and this policy is fought politically, exposed, and held accountable.
* Political awareness of the regime's machinations, through which it seeks to obscure its infidel secular policies and pass them by portraying them as if there is a societal conflict between secularists and Islamists and that secularism is a societal option and a response to a societal need and demand, in addition to portraying secularization and secularism in Morocco as a natural process for society in Morocco, then justifying it through an Islamic shell and a jurisprudential fabrication within what the regime calls an open interpretation, and the scholars of the court lie in its legitimization.
The secularization of society in Morocco, which the media raised in a blatant manner, did not raise it as a topic for debate and discussion, but it was raised in the context of formulating and shaping public opinion based on secular templates, and a political tactic to market and promote secular visions and colonial policies entrusted to the regime to implement as part of the intellectual, cultural, and political field to stereotype public opinion accordingly, and to normalize with it as neutral cultural and political visions and not as part of a Western colonial project and a material for intellectual and cultural invasion and secular political penetration whose goal is to completely strip us of our great Islam.
Unfortunately, the central and pivotal issue is absent from many of those who address the burning issues of the nation, but rather they engage in the vortex of discussion whose circle and ceiling the regime has defined, which is a secular circle and ceiling.
One of the cultural defects in addressing the issue of secularization and the destructive intellectual flaw, specifically for the Muslim who addresses the issues of Islam and its nation, is the failure to realize the reality of the topics he deals with. If he is deceived by the deception that the constitution in Morocco is an Islamic constitution because Article Three stipulates that the religion of the state is Islam, then that is a great affliction. It is shameful that the owner of the issue is not familiar with the legislative philosophy, so he knows that the constitution is a legislation of basic legal rules and that constitutional legislation has its root and legal source. When judging a constitution, one does not bring a material from it to issue a ruling on the whole, but rather looks at the root and the legislative source from which all the materials emanated, and none of the scholars of constitutions claimed that the constitution in Morocco is based on the Book and the Sunnah, but rather it is certain that its root and legislative source is the constitution of the Fifth French Republic, which is purely secular. As for "the religion of the state is Islam," even at the level of the legal formula, it does not rise to be a legislative article, let alone be a standard and a legislative rule, but its function in the constitution is to obscure the blatant secularism of the constitution.
This cognitive defect in not realizing the reality of the regime's constitution in Morocco and its secular reference, but rather taking it as a reference and standard for criticizing and refuting secularism, is an offense to the method of discussion from its foundation, and it obscures Islam as a principle and a regulating and governing reference for the secular constitution and refutes and abrogates its legislations and the regime's policy in its comprehensive secularization of the lives of the Muslim people of Morocco.
Falling into the trap of the secular constitution in Morocco and taking it as a reference and standard is in reality falling into the trap and swamp of secularism, and all discussion after that is useless!
The program on the Francophone channel about "the secularization of Moroccan society" is a chapter from a fierce civilizational conflict against the great Islam and its unique and distinguished civilizational project, and a recycling of a bankrupt and failed colonial secular project that has been in the lands of Muslims for a century and has brought with it ruin, degradation, destruction, subservience, political betrayal, plundering of wealth, drowning in the swamp of debts, and moral decay. Today, in order to escape the dues of the secular colonial crime, the West and its tails have only increased the poisons of secularism to confront the Islamic giant that is about to break free from its shackles. The project of the great Islam is the target of this comprehensive secularization of the lives of all Muslims and transforming them into Western freaks and cultural defects clinging to the tail of the West with their complete detachment from their great Islam so that comprehensive secularization fulfills its conditions in destroying and annihilating us.
The issue of demolishing secularism, destroying the colonial project, and liberating the nation with Islam will not be achieved through the media of shame serving colonialism, nor through discussing a slave of the slaves of colonialism, but rather through a political struggle and an intellectual conflict with the owner of the idea and the policy directly to lead public opinion with Islam and its civilizational project.
The issue is not in discussing the topic of secularism and secularization, but in holding accountable the regime in charge of it, which has brought all the secular infidelity and imposed it on the Muslim people of Morocco, so it has brought ruin to their lands, ﴿Have you not seen those who have exchanged the blessing of Allah for disbelief and lodged their people [in] the home of ruin? [It is] Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the settlement.﴾.
