Nadia Yassine - a Moroccan far right activist woman - is addicted to publicity, especially in the international press. That’s been her trade in life. This articulate fundamentalist (and her father before her) advocates in favor of hard core Islamic law to replace Morocco’s secular political system and social values. She is a manipulator of the first order and the Moroccan government ought to know better than to give more ammunitions to her posturing.
She is now being prosecuted for uttering her wish to see Morocco become a republic. That’s playing into her hands and just plain old stupid. It makes a mockery of Morocco’s attempts at political reform towards democratic principles , including freedom of speech. (more…)
