This time, I wanted to accompany my article with a picture of a Western family that has entirely converted to Islam and started learning the Quran and the Arabic language. This is the case for all Muslims around the world, including new Muslims.

In the five continents—Africa, Asia, America, Europe, and Australia—interest in Islam, and of course in the Arabic language, is increasing. It is also spreading among non-Muslims such as researchers, diplomats, and others, even among many Spaniards in Andalusia after discovering their Andalusian roots deeply embedded in history and their connection to the Kingdom of Morocco.

The story of Andalusia and the Kingdom requires much reflection to discover the treasures of Moroccan civilization and its extensions and its benefits to all humanity, especially Europe.

The first visible and decisive cultural treasure, which is striking to every interpretation and confounding to every distortion and denial, is that Amazigh-Arab mix that shaped the Moroccan identity, which in turn built the Islamic Moroccan civilization from the Idrisids to the Alaouites.

- This civilization extended south, north, east, and perhaps even west into America according to many accounts that must inevitably be confirmed by historical manuscripts that should be dusted off from the neglect and intentional concealment!!! How could it not be so, when the Moroccan navy roamed all the oceans, receiving tributes from international fleets in exchange for protecting them from pirates, and it was the one that Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi turned to for countering and destroying the European naval fleets that united to support the Crusaders in Jerusalem.

Arabic is the language of the tongue and the language of revelation and the Quran; it does not represent a race, sect, or state, and thus it was received by the Amazigh in Morocco and in all places around the world, without eliminating Amazigh or any other languages in other countries.

This is how it was, and the Amazigh will remain among those who memorize the Holy Quran, learn it, and teach it, and among those who learn Arabic and teach it, and among the thousands who have written in Arabic, with thousands and thousands of volumes and books.

- Thus, most Amazigh believe, except for those who refuse and go to extremes, that Arabic is theirs and belongs to them.

- Correspondingly, most Arab Moroccans believe, except for those who refuse and go to extremes, that Amazigh is theirs and belongs to them.

- Many hope and demand that Amazigh be written in Arabic letters to facilitate learning.

It is impossible to separate the components of the body from one another, and it is impossible to separate Amazigh from Arabic. The Moroccan cultural mix stands as a formidable barrier against the attempts and schemes of extremists on both sides and those who support them.

And to avoid falling into the trap of extremists and their hidden agendas, we must strengthen our intellectual immunity to confront them by breaking their power and eliminating their poison mixed with external support... They have not and will not succeed in tampering with the elements of a Morocco rich in cultures and civilizations.
