The Kingdom of Morocco is a model of tolerance, coexistence, and interreligious dialogue, affirmed participants at the Tolerance Forum, organised on the initiative of the Moroccan Centre for Tolerance and Interreligious Dialogue, on Tuesday in Tangier.
Held in coordination with the Adam Foundation for Human Fraternity, the Archdiocese of Tangier, and the Jewish Community of the Marrakech-Safi region, under the theme "Human fraternity in the face of hate speech: a global battle for coexistence and tolerance", this forum was an opportunity for participants to emphasise that Morocco, in a world plagued by growing tensions and conflicts, stands out as an oasis of dialogue, coexistence, and tolerance between religions, thanks to the enlightened leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful.
In this sense, Emilio Rocha Grande, Archbishop of Tangier, stated: "We wish to plant a seed of peace from the city of Tangier, in the hope that it will become a powerful tree that will cover us as Christians, Jews, Muslims, and people of all religions and ethnicities, united by human dignity, for a more just world and a more fraternal society, as is the case in Morocco, where we all coexist in peace".
He said he was very happy to participate in this forum, hosted by the Cathedral of Tangier, which aims to promote interreligious dialogue, noting that this event is an opportunity to express a hope for peace and a rejection of all hate speech, which could fuel violence and contribute to fractures, especially in this difficult period at the international level, marked by rising tensions.
For the president of the Mexican Moroccan Jewish Association, Moisés Amselem Elbaz, Morocco, under the enlightened leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, is a model of coexistence between the three religions.
He noted, in a statement to the MAP, the importance of continuing the dialogue between representatives of religions, here and internationally, to build bridges of cooperation between nations, in accordance with religious teachings.
For his part, the president of the Moroccan Centre for Tolerance and Interreligious Dialogue, Mohamed Aabidou, noted that this forum commemorates a universal event, the International Day for Countering Hate Speech, stating that it is an opportunity to recall the role that Morocco plays, under the enlightened leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, in spreading the values of tolerance and love between peoples.
The forum is also an opportunity for everyone to unite, to pray for peace, to spread the values of love, tolerance, and coexistence to put an end to wars, in addition to recalling the values that unite us as human beings, in order to reject hate speech, which endangers the future of humanity, he added.
The forum was also an opportunity to highlight the role of Morocco and the Commandery of the Faithful in spreading the values of tolerance, peace, and coexistence, as well as in building ties of cooperation, mutual understanding, and fraternity between different religions, in addition to the important role of religious figures in bringing different religions closer together through dialogue, communication, and the call for religious tolerance and the rejection of violence, extremism, and hatred of others.
According to a press release from the organisers, Morocco is rich in a long history of tolerance and coexistence between different cultures and religions, and represents a great hope for humanity and a unique example of a Muslim country where all components have lived and live in perfect harmony.
The Kingdom of Morocco, under the clear-sighted leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, plays the role of standard-bearer for religious tolerance and noble universal values, in addition to being a source of inspiration for all peoples and a hope for humanity, which has made it a model to follow on a global scale.
