Rabat - In its leading role in the fight against religious extremism that has emerged in Africa, Morocco has done huge efforts to promote the true image of Islam through an in depth program of training imams of most of the African countries and some European countries.
On March 27, the king of Morocco inaugurated in Rabat the Mohammed VI Institute for the Training of Imams, Morchidines and Morchidates (religious preachers), which is a pilot project that will further enhance Morocco’s religious influence and anchor the Kingdom’s attachment to the precepts and fundamentals of Islam.
In this regard, Robert Holley, a former U.S. diplomat, said, on May 26 in Washington, that "the requests from several African countries for training imams in Morocco constitute a clear recognition of the success that Morocco has had under the King's leadership in adopting a multi-faceted approach to the issue of combating extremism and violence in the region."
