Evangelists Distribute Proselytizing Material in a Moroccan School

Casablanca- Three people with Syrian accents have reportedly distributed proselytizing material among secondary school students last Friday in the northern city of Ouazzane.

A teacher at Ibn Malik secondary school in the northern city of Ouazzane discovered materials used for the purpose of converting teenage students at the high school to Christianity.

According to the Arabic-language news source, Hespress, the teacher, named Ibrahim Echaikhi, stated that his students handed him papers and brochures inviting students to follow Christianity. The students received them from three people with Syrian accents who were distributing these materials near the secondary school, close to the headquarters of the Royal Gendarmerie.

The evangelists, the teacher stated in an interview with Hespress, “gave the passersby chocolate bars with the materials.” He denounced the fact that this took place “overtly in the main street last Friday, without the interference of the authorities.”

The teacher went on to say the incident represents a threat on “the spiritual security of the pupils,”

According to the teacher, the content of these materials shocked the students and already began “shaking their faith,” as one of his students asked him, “what if we were wrong?”

The photo of the materials shows very misleading content. It does not mention the name of Jesus or anything related to the Christian faith on the cover, and highlights the word “Allah” which is the name of the Islamic God. Also, the name of the organization behind it reads: “The Moroccan Organization for Educating Children,” which again does not refer to Christianity.

The teacher blamed the Moroccan authorities for this incident and presumed that the evangelists may operate under an authorized organization, especially since “the distributed materials contain a phone number, and encourage the readers to call for more information.”
