Scenes from the Northwest

In Morocco, the triad consisting of God, the Homeland, and the King is the symbol of unity and legitimacy at the same time. The King is the Commander of the Faithful which allows him to be the political as well as the religious leader of the nation. As a commander, the King lays a claim to absolute authority over the people. As a faithful, he bestows on his rule a divine mandate and a monopoly on preserving all that is Islamic. Subsequently, the laws become tools that protect these three symbols not through negotiation, but through acceptance.
