As a Moroccan, I hadn't heard about crimes happening inside Mosques until I heard about this one in a mosque in the tourism capital of Morocco, Marrakesh. And when I heard about it happening in the kingdom of sun, Morocco, I was intrigued and so surprised to find out that the police in Marrakech arrested an individual, 47 years old, for his involvement in the murder of a fifty-year-old. The suspect surprised the victim while he was alone after the Asr prayer. The Asr prayer ("afternoon prayer") is one of the five mandatory salah (Islamic prayer) at the Benkaddour mosque, inflicting fatal blows and wounds with a knife, taking his soul in the Holy Place.

A few weeks ago, a Moroccan beheaded his mother and walked with her head through the streets of Casablanca as if we were in the Taliban's land, very trendy right now as everybody's talking about Afghanistan worldwide. In the same week, but another Moroccan city, Meknes, another young man killed his mother, a seventy-year-old woman, which caused an uproar on social media.

The residents of the Al-Rahma neighborhood in Casablanca woke up to the screams of many people in the community when they saw one of their neighbors walking through the streets with a head in his hand, not a sheep’s head but a human head, and none than his own mother.

One of the neighbors who spoke to local media about this heinous crime revealed painful and chilling facts, indicating that the perpetrator was stripped of all meanings of humanity by carrying the head of his mother. The latter had carried him for nine months in her stomach and suffered raising him.

In Al-Ain (UAE), the Public Prosecution Office charged a Moroccan woman with murder, who brutally killed her lover, cut him into pieces, then cooked and served them as part of a traditional meal known in the Emirates as "Majboos," which consists of meat and rice.

The woman initially denied any connection with the crime. She later confessed, justifying her action as revenge against her lover, who she had lived with for seven years. He told her that he wanted to leave her to marry another (younger) Moroccan woman.

According to the Emirati media, in her 30s, the Moroccan woman said in the investigation that the crime occurred "in a moment of madness."
