Put it this way. Getting off the plane in Marrakesh, you won't be spoken to in German.

CAIR is associated with terror groups, so I don't care what they say—or if I do care, I'd pretty much take the opposite viewpoint.

Regarding Morocco, in my experience German is more likely to be spoken to you than English

It was nice that English was so far down the list of languages used to hassle you

French first, then Spanish and Italian about equally, then German, and maybe English as an afterthought, LOL.

Gotta say, Morocco is a cool place.

Thanks, I didn't realize tha they were interchangable. Does that hold true for all the middle east? Are Palastinians also Arabs? What about Lebonese, Iraquis, Syrians, etc.?

Being spoken to in Arabic does NOT make the speaker an Arab.

Moroccans are not Arabs. The Arabic they speak is also different (slightly), from what I was told there.

Did you find in some towns that speaking French got you worse service?

It's all about the MONEY. Congrats to mookie for finding some facts before some of you made complete fools of yourselves.
