The guide, while eyeing the plunging neckline of the Quebec old, in front of him ... explained that "the minaret of the Koutoubia mosque and the Hassan in Rabat and the Giralda in Seville ... are all, works of Arab architecture ... "..... I could not restrain myself and I intervened to correct this propaganda, reminding him that:" 3 minarets are the work of Amazigh dynasties Almoravids, then Almohad and the architecture of the mosques is not Arabic! "
Initially, the guide has been violent and tried to dodge my remarks, but before my intransigence, he continued his explanation by calling these monuments "works of Islamic Architecture" ... I rise again saying, "there is no Islamic architecture ... that the Koran never talked about how to build a mosque or a Kasbah or a riad ... and the first mosque Mohamed, was a simple mud-brick shed and Bilal, a slave, and his Moaddin, called to prayer by standing on a mound of earth "....
Guide gets angry and said: "Then, since it is not Arab or Muslim architecture ... so what is it?" ... I reply: "that it is Amazigh Architecture, square minaret is a purely Amazigh invention that exists in North Africa" ...
Tourists remained amazed by this Moroccan-Moroccan altercation ... before the youngest among them involved ... and tends his iphone to the guide and said: "Monsieur had the reason is of Berber monuments .. . Wikipedia it says ... "
discussion begins between the Guide and its tourists. It was time, I chose to slip away ... while thinking at 4500 guides approved by the Ministry of Tourism, who spend their days telling lies to the thousands of tourists who come to our country!
