i think to some good extent it is the french influence on the people of moroco. the culture of moroco is supose to be following the islamic shariah laws rather than the french influenced puppet government.
PLEASE HLEP and reply to my post or message me. thanks

And what is funny is that if you are already a muslim from, say England, the Moroccan authorities don't recognise any certificate of conversion to islam from England and demand you re-take Shahada again in Morocco.
When I married in Morocco, I had to first demonstrate my proof of 'muslimness' to the relevent authorities (being non-moroccan). I had to recite the Quran in arabic, which I did. the authorities seemed pretty strict those many years ago. Seems that nowadays, they become somewhat lax, and accept any 'conversion' for the sake of marriage. Maybe these days money talks more loudly.
But back then, the only girls you saw going with white non-muslim men were prostitutes. Remember, in Morocco, a moroccan man wants to marry a virgin, and a girl who is not a virgin will tend to go with non-muslim men, as a non-muslim ain't fussed about whether a girl is virgin or not.
BTW, there are some 'white men' who are muslims too (though we are rare!).
