When Utopia is not Morocco
Umar Lee has interesting observations regarding the phenomenon of some African Aamerican Muslims going to Morocco to get married. It reminded me of the phenomenon where the ‘local Muslims’ hold their brethern to be of lower stature than their Arab counterparts even in cases when there is evidence to the contrary. Thus one sometimes sees absurdaties like seeing the Arab Muslim brothers reprimand non-Arab Muslims for listening to “Un-Islamic” music (read local music) and then you will see the same people at concerts of Arab Musicians. Again I would emphasize that this is not a generalization for all Arab Muslims but only a tiny few.
