We Are Not Arabs Moroccans are a North African Ethnic majority group called Amazigh.
Not just the Arab world but the entire Muslim world as well. From Indonesia to Bosnia to Somalia to Uzbekistan, Muslims all over the world are celebrating with the Moroccans in their win over Spain and Portugal. And top of that, Muslims have once again shown the world and the West in particular that they reject Israel and are united for Palestine. They reject the so-called Abraham Accords and the "normalization" of ties with Israel. Muslims have once again shown the world and the West in particular that they reject homosexuality and related perversions. Muslims have once again shown the world and the West in particular that when Islam is properly presented to the world, people embrace it in the hundreds.

Arab World or African World?
I live in The Gambia π¬π² and the day Morocco advanced to the knockout stage, people here celebrated it like they were the ones that qualified… Imagine how they felt when Morocco surpassed the challenges of the quarter finals and now are in the semi finals… Alhamdulillah, Go Moroccoπ²π¦ππΎ
Must like that…love mom…
i'm american/ Paraguayan and im very happy for Morocco I hope they win the world cup
Good luck Morocco
Also shows how much evil Israel is hated!
The amount of love for my country, Morocco, in the comments is great. Thank you from the heart. I really like to encourage vulnerable teams, π²π¦ Morocco Croatia ππ· .
Congratulations. If Morracca goes final, 200 million muslims are happy. Can anyone happy those muslims in this world without giving money or relief? But a football can give unlimited happiness all over the world.
Not just the Arab world
The whole Muslim world
That's the power of the Muslim brotherhood
This is a true underdog story, good luck morocco am very happy for you

The world reactions toward Morocco now is like:
Haters: they hate Morocco because they are Arab, Muslims, and Africans or maybe because they have delicious food..or perhaps because Moroccans are humble and down to earth….. They hate Morocco for nonsense reasons, because they are haters so no need to figure out the reasons.
Racist: they hate Morocco because Moroccans are Arabs and Africans
Slaves with skin color tag: they hate the fact the Moroccans are not black enough to represent Africans. Read the comments you'll find some of them there! I just cannot stand their point of view!
Idiots: they copy and paste whatever they found on the internet regarding Moroccans race. Don't waste your time with these people
Muslims: they support Morocco and all African teams.
True Muslims they support the good teams no matter what their nationalities or beliefs. It is a game , enjoy and don't blame and judge nations by other's bad acts. No one will go to heaven because of his favorite team. Be kind to others
Arab: they support Morocco because they are Arab no matter what the western labels are, north Africans, middle eastern, Gulf…ect. we are one nation and very proud.we are from Asia and Africa but that doesn't mean anything to us. We somehow relate to Iran Turkish, Greece, Itali, Spain and Portugal. We don't see the passport nations especially when we meet outside the Arab home. In the west we go by Arab not by the country's name .
Israeli: are jumping ups and downs wishing this world cup were not existed.
Asians: has no issues with Moroccans being Arabs, Muslims, or Africans. They just want to enjoy watching. They look less excited as they don't go crazy when celebrating their win or others win because their reactions are decent and polit. They really want to enjoy watching matches. Love them
South Americans: they count on Argentina but still won't be sad if Arabs or African won the cup. They might go and search on their roots and they will find out that they are mixed of races such like and group of people in any place around the world. Who has a pure race?!?! No one!
On the other side, Moroccan and Arabs will be sad if Argentina loose because we are the biggest fan to the south America soccer.
European: Morocco is an African country because we draw the current map and won't change our minds. We love divided nations and hate any united. Please every one keep on his label tag
Americans (basically the government and it's media plus the racist white Americans only) If Morocco got the cup they are not Arab, but they are terrorists Arab as well if they keep raise the Palestinian flag.
Most of Americans: we love the Moroccan cousin and we enjoy visiting Morocco, Egypt, and the middle east… Most of Americans seem kind but ignorant at the same time… maybe that is what makes them nice and easy going. But let the TV's and their media shutoff. I suggest that any American needs to move away from USA for 10-20 years and then return back to serve his country in a good way without the stereotypes that they cannot get rid of them easily
African Americans: they are the fans of all the soccer teams and other sports teams because 95% of the players are originally from Africa.
Russians: what Morocco!. We hate America
Greeks: are we European or Mediterranean? The logic says that we are both but non of either at the same time. okay, let's take a nap first then will decide on this philosophical issue later on. Go Morocco go!
Most of the people around the world are nice. We just need to stop label each others. The world need to take 3 weeks break every 4 years and try to put all the differences aside and sit around the soccer field together to enjoy the matches.
I don't declare myself and say that I don't support my people. I found myself belong to so many nations and believes although I like the good game. I was very happy for Morocco for sure but at the same time I was sad for Ronaldo as this is his last game and Portugal played very well.
Everyone has the right to be a fan to his people and/ or his favorite team but respect others believes. It is just a game. The world cup can unite the world not just one nation.
you guys are days behind!! Morocco already in semi finals, after beating portugeese
Cleaning houses is a job at least better than people who have no jobs. Congratulations mommy power around the world. πππππ
Whereas the failures of the Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Iran teams had what effect?
There is no Arab world. Theres only a Muslim world
OHH! CRAZY USA πΊπΈ
They don't know that Morocco is part of Continental Africa π. They may consider themselves Arabs but they are still Africans.
I don't understand why he brings the mother job into this π€ you toooo.
From lebanon we support you
Unlike the Egyptians, the Moroccan coach actually said they play for Africa. He did not say they play for Arabs. I pray to God to that Russia wipes America off the face of the earth for spreading filth. Africa, Lesotho.π«π·πΊπ·πΊπ·πΊβ€πΉπ±πΈπ±πΈπ±πΈπ―ππΏ
Why did you have to mention his mother was a house maid? It's like an insult. But yeah he is the best of the best and you could have said instead he was born and raised in Madrid. Bigotry is real man.
