What percentage of people in Morocco are truly religious?

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

Dorcas gazelle-Animals in Morocco

The Dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas) is closely related to the mountain gazelle, but is different on a few points. They have longer ears and they have curvier horns. The Dorcas gazelles live in northern Africa, and the Sahara and Negev deserts in Morocco, Rio de Oro, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Chad, Somalia and Ethiopia. In the Middle East they live in parts of Israel and Sinai. The coloring in subspecies is different, in the Northern Sahara, they are an ocher color and they have darker flanking stripes. But the population near the Red Sea, has a more reddish-brown and lighter flanking stripes.

Their diet consists of leaves, flowers
 and pods of Acacian trees and various bushes.

When they feel threatened they sound their alarm call which sounds like barking. When chased, these gazelles use "stotting" (leaping straight up during pursuit by a predator) as a method to signal their fitness to the predator and warn other gazelles a predator is present. Dorcas gazelles can reach speeds of up to 80 km/hr. Their natural predators are the lion, cheetah and the leopard, but their main threats are habitat destruction, hunting, and the introduction of domestic sheep and goats.

What is the most common animals in Morocco

The most common animals in Morocco are Barbary lion, the Barbary Macaque, the camel and the Fennec.

What are the Common animals in Morocco?

I'm doing a report on several countries and one physical characteristic of the country(Morocco) is animal! what animals live in Morocco?

Number one is cats, they are every where, in the medina, in the outdoor cafes and restaurants, parked near every outdoor butcher shop, on top of roof top terraces, inside the waiting area of airports, in the parks or anywhere people congregate. Donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens and cows are also common domesticated animals and some people have canaries, lovebirds and parakeets. Snake handlers are common in tourist areas, you will see them holding Cobras or desert snakes.

Morocco is a country that is made up of mostly desert and is known for its extremely high heat, particularly in mid-day. The plants and animals that live in Morocco have adapted to these conditions over time and have survived in spite of the intense heat and lack of sufficient water. Morocco is the home to several species of animals that are not found in other parts of the world.

Mammals

the dorcas gazelle

Approximately 105 species of animals live in Morocco, and of these, 18 are on the endangered species list. The most typical type of mammal to live in Morocco is the dorcas gazelle. This type of gazelle is the smallest of its species, and it is recognizable by its extremely long legs and curved horns. Both male and female dorcas gazelles have full sets of horns. To compensate for the lack of fresh water, dorcas gazelles absorb water from the Acacia leaves that make up the majority of their diet. Due to the intensity of the mid-day sun, dorcas gazelles are usually only spotted being active in the early morning and late evening hours.

A type of dog that is unique to Morocco is the Sloughi breed. They are fast dogs that people of that nation use for hunting purposes. Their appearance is close to that of a greyhound.

Birds

There are more than 450 types of birds that have managed to survive the desert heat of Morocco. Pelicans and gulls can be found most often on the coast lines, while partridges, woodpeckers, doves, pigeons and pheasants are more often found in the desert areas. Bird species that are typically only seen in zoos in the United States, such as ostriches, swans and flamingoes, originate from Morocco and must be shipped overseas for anyone outside of Morocco to see them.
