The project
he Moorish Times is an independent publication born of a simple ambition: to revisit Moroccan heritage in its entirety and bring it to a wide audience. Carried in its early years by a team of contributors from varied backgrounds, the project now rests on a smaller circle of writers.
Our principles
- Present our topics objectively
- Do not manipulate sources
- Produce impersonal content free of the authors’ bias
- Verify and attribute sources and present them in the context of the article
Editorial line
The Moorish Times aligns with no political or ideological current and speaks for no movement.
That independence leaves each contributor free in tone and in analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Why “Moorish”?
The Moors are, historically, the people of Maghreb al-Aqsa and al-Andalus. The name refers to that heritage and nothing else.
Is The Moorish Times linked to the Moorish Science Temple of America?
No. The magazine has no tie to the Moorish Science Temple of America or to the “Moorish” movements born in the United States, and shares neither their claims nor their aims.
Is the magazine the voice of the “Moorish movement”?
No. What the press calls the “Moorish movement” is a set of accounts and pages that each speak about Moroccan identity and heritage in their own way, with no structure and no spokesperson. The Moorish Times is neither its outlet nor its representative.
Is The Moorish Times ultranationalist?
No. The magazine tells the history and heritage of Morocco from the sources, and that Morocco is plural: Arab, Berber, Andalusi and Jewish. It claims no people’s superiority and targets none.
Is the magazine funded or backed by a government, a party or a sponsor?
No. The Moorish Times has never received a single cent from anyone. The site is independently developed and self-funded, and takes no direction from outside.
