Morocco plans to send scores of moderate Muslim clerics to Europe in September in the holy month of Ramadan to help fight extremism among Moroccans abroad, the ministry for religious affairs said. The government will send 167 men and 9 women to preach to Moroccan immigrants. They are instructed to “answer the religious needs of the Moroccan community abroad, to protect it from any speeches of extremism or irregular nature, and to shelter it from extremism and fanaticism,” the religious affairs ministry said.
