"I'll bet real money he's jealous over this. Arabics, huh? Moroccans are not Arabic, they are Berber. I thought you had done research on this, but it is very clear that you are just diving into this with little consideration or thought. Your posts consistently reflect that."

Only about 40% of the Moroccan population is Berber. Arabs and Moors make up the majority of the population with Jewish, French, Spanish and Italian making up a minority together with other nomadic tribes including those related to the Tuareg.

Next you will be saying that the people of the Arab Republic of Egypt aren't Arabs.
