"Shi'ism in Morocco"
|
 |
|
The fact that there are followers of Ahl al-Bayt in Morocco should come as no surprise considering the fact that wherever there are Muslims, there are Shi'ites. The history of Islam in Morocco traces back to the year 683 when Uqba ibn Nafi, the commander of the 'Ummayad
dynasty in Damascus conquered the region. While many Berbers were
quick to embrace Islam, this did not guarantee their support for their
Arab conquerors who taxed them heavily, treated converts as
second-class Muslims, and, in the worst cases, even enslaved them.
