	Out of the spotlight, Moroccan Islamic party promotes interfaith dialogue un article par Hind Al-Subai Al-Idrisi for Common Ground News Service (abridged) Like other countries in the Middle East, Morocco witnessed a popular movement that fell short of a revolution. But citizen demand for government reform did lead to a number of changes. These changes included a referendum over a new constitution, limiting the Moroccan monarch's authority, as well as elections, which led to a victory for the Justice and Development Party, an Islamic political party. click on photo to enlarge While many people feared an Islamic political party might not respect the faiths of non-Muslim nationals, Morocco is showing its commitment to promote coexistence between Moroccans of different faiths under the Justice and Development Party. Morocco is considered one of the most stable countries of the region, with more or less peaceful coexistence among the various religions and cultures comprising the Moroccan social fabric. As a testament to this, the city of Fez, classified by UNESCO as part of the global human heritage, held a significant event on 13 February 2013: the inauguration of the newly renovated Fez Prayer Synagogue. The celebration was headed by Morocco’s Prime Minister and leader of the Justice and Development Party, Abdelilah Bin Kiran. He pointed out that, "The event underscores the identity of Morocco as a land for peace, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence among followers of all divine religions, and a lesson for the 21st century, which Morocco sends to all the world." The Fez Prayer Synagogue is one of the oldest Jewish synagogues in Fez. It was built in the 17th Century in the Mallah district of the Old City, and is considered a historical landmark for Jewish Moroccan culture. The synagogue has played an important role in the religious life of the Jewish community, whose members were once 30,000 strong and are today estimated to be between 3,000 to 7,000. While most Jews left Morocco after the state of Israel was established, the Moroccan monarch gave a message during the inauguration ceremony of the Fez Prayer Synagogue to remaining rabbis and representatives of the Jewish community in Morocco in which he called for the renovation of other synagogues in Moroccan cities. Not only is this effort re-establishing these places of worship, but also spaces for intercultural dialogue. Within this context, Morocco is also witnessing other interfaith events encouraged by the King and the Justice and Development party. The latest example was an event called "Interfaith Coexistence and Dialogue in Morocco," which was a meeting of three religious leaders from three separate religious communities – the head of the Moroccan Catholic Church, the Jewish community leader in Morocco, and the chief of the local Scientific Council of Anfa, a district in Casablanca – on 31 January in Casablanca’s Siqala Square. The leaders sat at the same table to talk about interfaith coexistence in the country and took questions on the subject. The leaders were joined by a number of Moroccan youth of various religious orientations. The youth asked them many questions about the three Abrahamic religions, which were answered in a respectful climate of tolerance . . .
