Morocco’s Makhzen’s Plan To Take Over Mosques In France Has Been Thwarted

French media reports revealed that Moroccan King Mohammed VI provided one million euros in 2023 to run a mosque in a suspicious manner, prompting some associations to question the method, manner and objectives behind this operation, especially since it contradicts French law in funding religious institutions outside the context of recognized bilateral agreements.

On the contrary, Algeria finances the Paris Mosque according to a clear agreement with the French party, and has so far retained the deanship of this important mosque through its broad role in framing the Algerian community and considering it a religious reference for more than a century.

The Moroccan authorities, who angered their French counterpart with this behavior, according to the same reports, are trying through similar operations to control the mosque space there and use it to achieve goals related mainly to espionage and control the pulpits, pushing them to be propaganda platforms for the “Commander of the Faithful” and the expansionist theses of the Makhzen at a time when the people of Al-Houz are living in the open, after the region was exposed to a devastating earthquake, after which the king refused to receive humanitarian aid and preferred to leave the victims in the open until now.

For years, many official bodies have been turning a blind eye to Morocco and Mohammed VI’s operations, especially in pumping money into mosques and seeking to take over the funding processes in roundabout ways, while the same parties seek to insert Algeria at the center of every discussion raised there on the issue of funding mosques, claiming that whoever does so has the decision to influence its religious and political orientation, a great fallacy that was blown up by a previous report by the French Parliament, which revealed that Algeria is the weakest Maghreb country to fund mosques in France, with about 2 million euros, and this in contrast to Morocco, which pays 6 million euros, while Turkey has an open budget.
However, he only mentioned Algeria on the issue of mosque funding, despite the vast difference between Algeria, Morocco and Turkey.

Recently, the deanship of the Paris Mosque criticized the defamation campaign led by the right-wing Zionist French channel “CNews” and the accusations made by the latter against the mosque and its dean, Chamseddine Hafiz, and its leaders of being dependent on Algeria, a low-down campaign led by the former French ambassador to Algeria, Xavier Driencourt, known for his blind hostility to everything that is Algerian.
