Report Hails Morocco as Model of Religious and Political Stability Under King Mohammed VI

It is a thorough analysis in which Sophie de Peyret describes King Mohammed VI as "both a temporal and spiritual authority". The author perceives Morocco as "a religious orientation that seeks to promote the path of moderation, a desire to impose itself, not as a model, but as an alternative voice".

For her, over the centuries, "the Sherifian Kingdom has forged a solid doctrinal foundation, with a measured and Islamically orthodox reading". Fascinated by the uniqueness of the kingdom, she specifies that "the peculiarities of Islam in Morocco appear to be the fruit of a history that continues to this day, and which is as much a matter of national identity as of religious norms".

In her analysis, Sophie de Peyret did not overlook "the Moroccan monarchical exception, where the King is also the Commander of the Faithful". A commandery that is based on "a pact concluded between the Sovereign and his people".

Moreover, she adds, the recent Constitution adopted in 2011 enshrines this dual status: "the king is both the head of a state with a Constitution and a Parliament, and the highest authority in the religious field, the guarantor of respect for Islamic principles".
