Hmm why? Majority of the population are Arabs (Moroccan of course but still...) right?
I am not going to further elaborate on that issue but it's something that is too political for ESC therefore if that needs to be discussed should go into the appropriate forum.

Well tough, I find it quite offensive to be called Arab or w/e.
Arab World Song Contest would never happen anyway.
Sorry Matt if its getting out of hands.

ESC is political by its very nature
... but yeah, questioning current rules may not really fit into a country thread.

I honestly don't get what's offensive anyhow? It's an ethnic group like Scandinavians, Europeans (in general) and other groups.

Yes I also don't understand his reaction!

Right, but I'm trying to avoid having those conversations in country threads as you said. One separate topic in the proper section is sufficient.

Maybe he thought we meant something bad about it?
But I don't see it that way. It's a linguistic-ethnic group like so many others.

I get it
On the other hand there's just so much which can be discussed when a country is not even entering
Anyways, hypothetically speaking (if there was an entry to discuss), KEEP THE SONG IN ARABIC!

Well in this case I'm correct, the majority indeed speaks Arabic and I guess that's the official language (together with French???)
