Inconsistent figures

Firstly, it claims "Christians in Morocco constitute approximately 1.1% (~380,000) of the country's population" Almost certainly an exaggeration. Christianity isn't that widespread in Morocco. Then it states:

The foreign Christian community (Roman Catholic and Protestant) consists of 5,000 practising members, although estimates of Christians residing in the country at any particular time range up to 25,000. The majority of Christians in Morocco are foreigners

Do the math!

The majority of Christians are foreigners i.e. 50%+
up to 25,000 foreign Christians max

=> No more than 50,000 Christians in Morocco total (i.e. 0.1% of the total population). This Roman_Catholicism_in_Morocco states 20,000 Catholics which fits quite well with this figure. 188.221.161.70 (talk) 18:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Religious Liberty in Morocco

The article should accurately reflect Morocco's status as a nation that is neither one of the most egregious violators of religious liberty nor a nation providing religious liberty to its citizens. The "freedom" granted by the Moroccan constitution is not the same thing as the "freedom" prescribed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or as practiced by nations with no religious establishment and with complete religious liberty. revbart (talk) 16:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish Morocco

Since Spain was an officially Christian country, I miss some mention of Christianity in Spanish Morocco and Christianity in Spanish Sahara. Christianity in Tangiers should be mentioned as well. --Error (talk) 17:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

150,000?

This figure of 150,000 was cited to two sources:

Osservatorio Internazionale: "La tentazione di Cristo" which actually says that reliable data cannot be had and that someone else says that 150,000 have converted or been approached by Christian missionaries. Being approached by a missionary does not make one a convert.

Morocco: No more hiding for Christians quotes one individual as saying "It is said that there are 150,000 Christians", so is a sort of guesswork by proxy.

I'm leaving aside the question as to whether either source is reliable because it seems redundant. Even if both were, aha, Gospel truth, neither of them actually backs up this figure. Pinkbeast (talk) 19:57, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
