@theotherhistoryofmorocco: I have lost millions of my people. To enforce a monoculture through systematic assimilation is to essentially argue that the original, diverse blueprint of a region was a mistake that needed human correction. When a specific linguistic and cultural identity is elevated to the status of a spiritual requirement, it reduces a universal faith into an instrument of geopolitical expansion and cultural imperialism. #arab#berber#conquest#colonization#religion
