What percentage of people in Morocco are truly religious?
The ones who go to the mosque or pray or dress modestly? If given a choice to change their religion how many people in Morocco would convert to another one?
I saw too many that weren't going to the mosque at all and pretending to be religious by their talk and not actions when I was there visiting on a long holiday. Especially the younger generation. So I am wondering if you are being sarcastic or joking in your answer.
Considering how over-crowded the prisons are, how people are so desperate to leave Morocco for a better life that they will scam foreigners in marriages in order to get residency visas, the fact that during riots in the past few years anarchists made their presence known I would say that the younger generation is not very religious at all, they are going along with traditions. I would say less than 50%. While traveling it didn't seem the mosques were all that busy for prayers, few shops and restaurants closed up for prayers, and cyber-cafes seemed to get more attention.Percentage wise it is difficult to say as there is no official statistics nor there is registry maintain of Moroccan converting to other religion. All Muslims go to mosque whether that be once a week or five times a day, and you will find in Morocco the mosques are full at times. Majority of Moroccans are religious and remember Allah all the times.
Yes that is true the younger generation are distracted by the worldly things and have time for that rather performing their prayers five times a day, But generally you will find young and old attending mosques be that one time a day or more. I have witnessed too that when there is a football on the TV, some would just watch TV rather then answer the call of "adhan",
I am not being sarcastic or joking but stating the facts, of course you will find this in all Muslim countries where all in all the Muslims do attend and pray in the mosques. Of course some pray at home too.
The one who did not turn the music down or stopped playing music are in need of help or guidance.
I noticed that they did turn down their music when it was prayer time but went ahead with everything else that they were doing.
more than being religioud, they're traditional..so they will stick to their religion.at least 85% of men go to the mosque at least once a day some older citizens who are retired go to all prayers...women mostly go to Friday prayers.
dressing modestly..well between 60-70 wear scrafs,moroccan jilbabs or pants...but most of them cover their hair..a lot of them dont...then there are the really religious ones who wear the burka like in middle east...
it will be hard to find a moroccan converting to christianity or any other religion as it will go against their traditions. but there are a few of them who do convert..mostly if they get married to christians or move overseas..it's a choice.
otherwise, i don't see why you asked this question....kind of~~weird lol
