Morocco institute trains imams to counter extremismWith its watchwords of dialogue and coexistence, the Mohammed VI Institute that trains Muslim prayer leaders to serve in Morocco and abroad was Saturday one of the first stops on Pope Francis’s visit to the kingdom. Since 2015, the institute has received trainee imams from Morocco as well as several other African states and France. Under the patronage of King Mohammed, its mission is to counter “radical speech”, its director Abdeslam Lazaar said.
