Scenes From Morocco: A Destroyed Cross






















This is the place where a cross used to hang in Meknes' medina. The Catholics who teach Moroccans languages and career skills in this building do not engage in proselytism but have caught up in the anti-Christian sentiment following the recent expulsions of Christians. Last week, the cross was knocked down and beaten into pieces.

On a positive note, Moroccans who have benefited from their services have volunteered to reconstruct the cross.

    Good thing an Islamic symbol wasn't destroyed by Christians in Europe then we would have rioting and looting.
