Non-Muslims in Morocco Between Discrimination and Stigmatization: The Case of Christians and Bahá’ís
Abstract
This paper explores the limits of freedom of religion in Morocco and the restrictions experienced by non‑Muslims, particularly Moroccans who convert to other faiths. It draws on an empirical study with a sample of university students and complements the findings with testimonies from members of two non‑Muslim communities—Christians and Bahá’ís. The article analyzes social representations, attitudes, and lived experiences within Morocco’s social, political, and religious environment, highlighting mechanisms of stigmatization, constraints on public expression of belief, and the challenges of integration.
