By Madison on mar 12, 2010

Washington – The US Department of State commended, Thursday in its annual report on Human rights Practices in the world, Morocco’s efforts to promote inter-religious tolerance.

    « The government [of Morocco] continued to encourage tolerance and respect among religions, » the report said, citing in this respect the fact that Jews live in security across the country.

    The report underlined that representatives of the Jewish community, estimated by its leaders to number 4,000 members, generally lived in safety throughout the country, and that the government provided appropriate security, adding that the Moroccan jews enjoy full freedom of worship.
