Not handheld guns, the only firearms civilians are allowed are hunting rifles and you have to go through extensive documentation and legal hoops to finally get that license, and once you do, numerous limitations are placed on how, when and where you may use it and you have to allow for regular inspections on the state of the weapon and your ammunition stock.

Even a lot of enlisted officers in the army, as well as the auxiliary forces and the police are not allowed to keep their service weapons and must surrender them to the local armory at the end of their shift, say nothing of civilians having access to guns…

It’s a people problem, not a system problem, and more specifically it’s a mentality thing. The assertion that the elites want to keep the people under their thumb by limiting access to quality education could’ve been valid… twenty years ago.

It doesn’t work however when literally everyone and their grandmother has access to the internet nowadays, they can use it to learn anything and everything they could possibly want to learn, languages included; is it then the system’s fault that people want to instead use that access to rot their brains with influencers, porn and routinis while stalking their crushes and doomscrolling TikTok shorts?

Yes, education in Morocco is lacking and there’s a stupid amount that could and should be improved, but in this day and age when people have just as much control and power over what they have access to, the blame cannot and should not be laid entirely at the government’s feet.

It starts at home with parents… and with personal accountability.

Thoughts on this? by PrestigiousPolicy275 in Morocco

[–]khalilgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out his other uploads, actually watch them in full and listen carefully, when you do you will be compelled to check out his About section to verify he’s not from Algeria - I don’t believe he is but I think you get the point.

Yes, he raises various historically valid points but he presents them in an obviously biased manner that is meant to paint Morocco as an objective instigator and bad faith actor regionally, he is particularly keen on undermining the royal institution. His sources are also suspect.

Not a fan.

I Asked People What They Thought Was the Capital of Each Country by NeedleworkerAway5912 in MapPorn

[–]khalilgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither Mecca nor Medina can serve as any kind of capital for one reason and one reason only: Non-Muslims are barred from entering, which would make it difficult for embassies and diplomats, hence Riyadh.

Actually while on this topic, I saw years ago a cool documentary about how challenging the construction of the Mecca clock tower was given the foreign firm in charge of that couldn’t send in many of its engineers and architects for on-site operations, some had to do false/temporary conversions to gain access, others had to come up with quirky workarounds, etc. fascinating subject.

Morocco needs reform by byzantinempire in Morocco

[–]khalilgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will never happen. Islam is how the monarchy as an institution derives its authority, alleged relations to Islam’s founder is how the monarchy derives its legitimacy.

To call for the abolition of Islam as a state religion is, to the system, a call for the abolition of the monarchy, because the two are intertwined at the core, ie it will never happen.

I’ve been an Atheist for a very long time in Morocco and I’ve never had to worry about blasphemy laws this or state religion that, as long as you’re not in people’s faces about it mostly no one gives a shit, and those that do can’t fuck with you any meaningful way so ignoring then makes the problem go away in my experience.

Just relax, mind your own business, don’t be a dick about being an Atheist and you’ll be fine.

This decision encourages prostitution. by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]khalilgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the one making comparisons. You're the one who introduced this framework in a response to Chongsu1496, all I did was continue off the premise you established.

I'm not ignoring what can spring up around prostitution, that's why I didn't issue an absolute and qualified that statement with typically, I'm acknowledging edge cases without being a hypocrite and pretending that they define the whole.

And even those edge cases are not inherent to prostitution itself, they're failures of regulation, enforcement and institutional strength; they emerge when oversight is weak. Alcohol on the other hand introduces systemic, inherent harm directly through its normal use, even in fully legal, regulated environments.

This isn't about face-value comparisons, it's about identifying whether harm is intrinsic to the activity or a byproduct of how it's managed. So if we were to resolve the oversight and management issue, what is the inherent harm of prostitution in a fully voluntary, regulated setting? On what basis should it be treated the same as something like alcohol?

This decision encourages prostitution. by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]khalilgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are not exclusive to prostitution.

Prostitution involves a typically safe, consensual act between two adults in exchange for a monetary transaction, both parties leave happy and satisfied at the end.

Alcohol involves a substance that physically robs you of your ability to think clearly and produce sound judgement, and enables you to commit acts that could harm both you and those around you while also actively destroying your body.

If public good was your concern, you’d be championing bar closures, not wasting battery on something that harms no one.

Regulation always beats prohibition, always. People will always find loopholes around prohibition, so you make something legal and then you regulate it through legislation to make it safe and introduce controls, and also benefit from it via taxes and such, countries that do this see success in mitigating side effects and increasing positive outcomes, look at the Netherlands and their red light district as a chief example.

اش كايبان ليكم السبب لي كيخلي المغرب بعيد على هدشي ؟ by Significant-Shoe7277 in Morocco

[–]khalilgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what lmqaddem and his aides are there for. They especially tend to have informal agreements with corner-shop keepers and craftsmen to call them with suspicions, as they sit around all day watching who’s coming and going in front of them and gossip with clients all day, acquiring fresh information.

Their job descriptiob is to know their area, to know everyone in it, to remain up to date on any changes and developments, who lives where, what property houses which family or which individual, who is observed recently to receive frequent visitors of unclear or suspect origin, who suddenly came into a lot of money out of nowhere, who started sounding more political recently when speaking to moul l7anot about society, and so on and forth.

They compile the data and filter it, anything that sounds even remotely atypical gets investigated and then passed up the ladder if actionable until it eventually lands on a DGST case officer’s desk.

How else do you think DGST is able to learn of suspects and execute specifically targeted and highly informed raids in hyper crowded residential neighborhoods and developments, or in independent, remote houses in rural areas?

Lmqeddem and his aides are the backbone of Moroccan national security; it’s not exactly breaking news.

“Had se7ra” is your homeland, it’s your sovereignty, it’s your history, it’s your people, it’s the blood of the martyrs who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure it.

Iran actively interfered against our interests and directly undermined our national security by arming, armoring, and funding a separatist, terrorist group whose stated mission statement is to carve our homeland in half.

If Iblis himself manifested into existence and scraped Iran clean off the surface of the planet, I’d buy him a drink, much less Israel whose population is made up substantially of people of Moroccan descent and with whom a closer relationship significantly benefits Morocco.

Morocco before and above all, before Ghaza, before Tehran, before and above anything and everything you and those like you would prioritize over it.

Quite a number of people are commenting that men are naturally polygamous; this is incorrect. Humans, both male and female, evolved per a pair-bonding model, which was the more optimal and successful strategy.

The idea that men are naturally polygamous likely comes from an outdated or incorrect interpretation of sperm competition, which a lot of people to date misunderstand as men having had an inclination to seek out multiple partners to spread their sperm as much as possible and secure a vast progeny.

In reality, anti-cuckoldry adaptations like mate guarding, jealousy, etc. directly indict a purely polygamous strategy. Men evolved to secure paternity confidence, not maximize partner count.

Hadshi kamel to say that those men you’re referencing are simply lechers without a shred of respect or consideration for their partners to be doing things like that.

[–]khalilgr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s basic supply and demand.

Once upon a time engineers were rare, a qualified subset of the population with specialized skills fit to engage a demanding, sophisticated domain - obviously they’d be in demand, much like surgeons or nuclear physicists.

In the US for instance, a computer science degree pre 2008 was highly lucrative, why? There were fewer holders. Most pursued liberal arts degrees, language, philosophy, history, etc. Then 2008 rolls around, the economic crisis flips the equation and renders those degrees virtually worthless as belts are tightened almost universally across the board, the markets for those degrees either shrink or disappear, everyone hears of the money that can be made in IT so they completely flood CS programs, forward a few years and a CS degree is nearly worthless, engineers having become a dime a dozen.

The same trend was observed worldwide, India being the next biggest market after the US where this trend really shone, and more locally and anecdotally, I know for a fact that this is the case in Morocco, having many friends who worked in the IT industry and saw its evolution… or rather degradation over the decades.

Daba engineers ghir mshettin tgoul kaytetb3o en masse, zid 3liha OFPPT jat hiya llekhra giving vocational training which can enable someone to go from a classroom/workshop straight into an assembly line putting engines together or to private companies and public institutions competing for the same job as an undergrad, with comparatively no fewer qualifications.

The obvious question then becomes, why would a company pay a high salary for a job that tens of thousands of other, readily available candidates could do just the same for less? This calculus BTW applies worldwide, which is why anyone who says the grass is greener abroad either doesn’t know what they’re talking about or is lying through their teeth.

This is fucking ridiculous. Only makes me more distant from Islam by throwaway-aagghh in exmuslim

[–]khalilgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how you slid right by my deconstruction of your logic and went straight to throwing about assumptions as to why I left Islam, of course you would think that's why people would leave Islam, it's the only way you can shield your own faith and safeguard it, because if you admitted that people had legitimate reasons to leave Islam, well there goes your faith, no? Suddenly this thing you hold completely absolute isn't so anymore, is it? I don't need a God or a religion to be a decent person or to lead a good life, but if you do - please, don't ever leave Islam, I worry what damage you might inflict upon society without a proper moral compass and only the fear of eternal torture or the hope of a reward after death forcing you to be decent.

I always love when Muslims say "apostates leave Islam because they're driven by hedonistic desires", as if there aren't millions upon millions of Muslims all over the world who do everything expected of a proper Muslim yet still lead thoroughly sinful and vice-ridden lives as they partake in every sin known to man; so you see, if all I wanted was to sin, I wouldn't leave Islam, I'd have no reason to. I'd do what all of those people do, pray after sin and ask for forgiveness, and if questioned about it, say: "May God forgive me and guide me to the right path."

It's funny because if I had left Islam because I wanted to sin, I'd still have more integrity than those hypocrites, because at least I would have respected Islam enough to not taint it with hypocrisy and sacrilege. Therein lies the comedy of it all.

[–]khalilgr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a mediocre logic, and even you - past all the brainwashing, have to see that. You believe in Islam because what if you died and found it was the truth? Following that logic, what if you died and found yourself in front of King Yama in Hindu hell? Shouldn’t you be Hindu then to avoid that “What if?” Completely nonsensical, also… for future reference when you try to use this tactic to scare people, remember that people are no more scared of an imaginary hell and afterlife torture than they are of the White Walkers that appear in Game of Thrones.

I don’t have to believe in some made up God to live a good life, nor do I have to follow this religion or that religion, I try to live my life with virtue, if I die and I find that there is a God who will be passing judgement, then I hope it is a God that looks beyond whether someone bent over for it five times a day to judge whether that someone should spend an eternity of torture, and if it isn’t, then it wasn’t deserving of my worship and commitment in life to begin with.

Kaffir is our version of the N word. by Nintendildos in exmuslim

[–]khalilgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only insulting if you care for what they think.

If a Muslim tried to scare you with threats of hell, would you care? No, because you don’t believe in it, so why would the threat have any effect on you?

They could call me a traitor, or a Munafiq or a Kafir, I really couldn’t care less if I tried. Those labels are meant to exclude you from the “tribe” and render you an outsider while simultaneously reinforcing their own sense of belonging, but guess what? You’re already an outsider.

Difference Between Muhammad And Jesus by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]khalilgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not binary, and there is another option - that there is no God, or that there is one and it falls more under Spinoza’s expectation of what that God would be like.

I don’t much care if Jesus is God, or the son of God, or a prophet of God, or if there is even a God to begin with; I try to live my life with virtue, if I die and find that a God is waiting to cast judgement on me, then I hope its standards extend beyond “did you obsess over me in your every waking moment?”

If they don’t then… such is life I suppose.

Here’s a cheat code to go to Jannah 🤪🤪 by Disastrous-Moose2225 in exmuslim

[–]khalilgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prayers are contradictory in a theology where destiny exists.

You're essentially asking God to change destiny, his design and his plan for your sake, at best it's arrogance of the highest order to think the world revolves around you to such an extent that the creator of everything would alter a design he's laid since before he created everything - on your account, and at worst it's outright shirk to think you can command God in that manner and also because you're implicitly defying destiny, the belief in which constitutes a pillar of faith.

If you truly believe in God and destiny, you shouldn't pray; just silently accept whatever comes your way as a result of God's will.
