Great job Chris! Casablanca DOES have a 'unique' urban charm.

You said on numerous occasions :”it feels modern european, French spanish not typical Moroccan “. “ it was bombarded and rebuilt by the French “ this and that .Ok let me correct you and please don’t be offended . We conquered Europeans be fore they conquered us and before they got cocky with their acquisition of the Chinese gun powder that made them feel invincible and made them commit genocides . My point here is not making your continent look bad but remind you of history that never goes away and correct lies and false ideas . When we went to Europe and particularly south Europe which not only included Spain Portugal and southern parts of Italy we found nothing in Europe not even a well built HUT 🛖 in fact people lived in caves and did not have soap or toothpaste to wash their filth . We teach Europe how to properly built castles and homes. Muslims were for the forefather’s of engineering , science , philosophy, mathematics , physics , Medecine and astronomy . In fact European were still living in the dark stone ages when we were way ahead of them . The French themselves copied the art of building “ Chateaux” from Andalusian Muslim build castles and mosques in Andalucia Spain . In fact if it wasn’t for the Muslims science innovations and mastery you wouldn’t have anything today . The fathers of modern Medecine , pharmacy, mathematics , algorithms and many other sciences are all Muslims . So you coming here telling us that it looks “ European and modern” please don’t forget where it came from truly 😊. Have a blessed day. And long live the US of A 🇺🇸 and Morocco 🇲🇦 forever Allies against ennemies that want to do us harm .
