Communication Expressing Opinions and Beliefs p 12 (ex)
B.
1. I think that Kasbat Ait Benhaddou is a great place to visit and start with.
2. I believe it is one of the best places to visit because the movie The Last Temptation of Christ was shot there which was directed by Martin Scorsese and backed by Michael Jackson God rest his
soul who indirectly financed and defended the film in his short film BAD which is also the title of his album at that time which holds the record for the second biggest selling album of all-time.
More details can be found in the documentary Michael Jackson Symbolism by Marouane Dahni on YouTube under the channel name Marouane Dahni. The area has benefitted greatly from that movie.

Dear Amine,
Thanks a lot for the information you provided me with the other day. It was a great pleasure getting to know you and chatting with you. I was very impressed by your English, you seem to be
using very correct English, your pronunciation is also excellent.
Your pieces of information were very useful and gave me a good reason to be optimistic and feel that I'm going to spend a good holiday in Morocco next winter.
What do you think of another audio chat next Sunday at 6:00 p.m.
Bye for now,
All the best,
Helen.
D.
Dear Helen,
You're very welcome and it was a great pleasure for me too to get to know you and to chat with you. Thank you for your great feedback about my English, I learnt it through cartoons, music
and movies namely the work of the great artist Michael Jackson God rest his soul who carried in his music spiritual uplifting messages. What helped me see the true message is a documentary on
YouTube called Michael Jackson Symbolism by Marouane Dahni which also shows the true messages of other artists and actors that were assassinated just like Michael Jackson was, God rest his soul,
check it out and give me your opinion as an English person. The stastistics shows that he is very influential internationally.
I can't wait for you to visit Morocco and I will also show you where the international famous movie The Last Temptation of Christ peace and prayers of God be upon him which was shot in
Volubilis, Oumnast, Kasbat Ait Benhaddou, Demnate and other places in Morocco. This movie was also supported by Michael Jackson who financed the movie and supported it in the his short film BAD
in which Michael Jackson defends the film and doesn't call it sacrilegous. It carries dangerous messages about Jesus foretelling the arrival of the final messenger Muhammad peace and prayers of
Allah be upon both of them.
I think an audio chat next Sunday at 6 p.m. God Willing is a great idea.
With my best wishes,
Amine.

-------------------------------
Communication Giving and Seeking Advice p 27 (ex)
F.
1. You should watch English programmes and namely the motivating documentary Michael Jackson Symbolism by Marouane Dahni on the YouTube channel Marouane Dahni. It will motivate you on so many
levels to feel the need and sacred obligation to understand God's sacred message further and how to share it with the international language which is English.
2. If I were you, I would opt for the University of Letters and Human Sciences and choose English studies as it will give you a chance to discover how the world is run and also gives you the
chance to become an English teacher and to benefit generations of students with the important sacred message mentioned in the previous advice given to Ali.
3. Why don't you spend your holiday in Kasbat Ait Benhaddou in the Ouerzazate province to see why Martin Scorsese chose that area as the filming location for the international great movie The
Last Temptation of Christ which was backed financially by Michael Jackson God rest his soul.
4. You ought to understand that it is ok to eat after you are drained out of energy due to excitement after watching films that create consciousness. The effort you make to stay awake and follow
and study the symbolism in movies and great messages will surely drain you out of energy. So it's ok to have a late snack, but just avoid overdoing it just as a time-filler when you don't need
the energy.
5. How about opting for reading interesting books like The Last Temptation of Christ the book, or Eyes of Darkness by Dean Koontz which spoke of Corona 40 years ago just to be more awoke and
aware of this planned conspiracy against the world to later use it to create consciousness in videos like the ones in Marouane Dahni's YouTube channel and his documentary Michael Jackson
Symbolism.
--------------------------------
Reading Women's Education p 29 (ex)
A.
That saying shows the importance of how a woman in her education can benefit generations through educating her kids and others. A great video that discusses this topic in an exhaustive manner is
a video titled "Are Women Oppressed in Islam by Abdurraheem Green" and more will be tackled in an interesting universal manner in upcoming parts of the documentary Michael Jackson Symbolism on
YouTube by Marouane Dahni previously mentioned.
B. 1. 70%
2. a. women b. people in the country
3. Not much, because the programs seen on TV are mostly for entertainment and not for education. More than that, it dumbs them down and that's why we need to be the alternative medium to create
awareness and consciousness aimly for those who don't have internet at home by broadcasting videos and films that create awareness and show how it could motivate people to learn at home.
C. 3. If women are educated, their health and that of their children and family highly improve.
(mother's education has ... long term effect, both on her own health and that of her family.)
D.
1. .. because they reason ... boys.. more likely to find work .. than girls .. expected to marry and have children.
2. Yes, sometimes they parents ask also boys to stay and help sometimes in farm work for instance.
3. 1. A 1% rise in women's literacy is three times more likely to reduce deaths in children than than a 1% rise in the number of doctors.

Writing Argumentative Essays p 32 (les)
A. Cheating on Exams
Causes: Lack of Motivation - Not Knowing God's Rules against Cheating - Ignoring the Benefits of relying on oneself.
Examples: How students Justify Wrongfully Cheating - The Media and their lack of Commitment - The Government Not Providing Practical Lessons and Values in Textbooks.
Consequences: Curses from God = Unemployment - Cheating in Future Jobs
Solutions: Lessons about God's Rules against Cheating - Creating Motivation through Videos to make them love the learning - The Bad Results of Being Caught and Deceiving the Family

3rd paragraph: Students also begin to lose the sense of responsibility when they have other people do their work. (more explanations of examples of results from cheating)
4th paragraph: Moreover, students who pass on somebody's work as their own do not gain any knowledge. .. they are never going to learn anything. Making mistakes and learning from them may be one
of the most effective methods of learning. (the paragraph adds more with the linking word "Moreover" and ends with a general result of cheating shown in the last sentence showing that avoiding
cheating is one of the most effective methods of learning in general as in conclusion we usually see wrap-ups).
C. Dropping Out of School
Causes: Poverty - Lack of motivation - Ignorance of parents and students

from our world.
E.
Dropping out of school has become a worldwide phenomenon. We need to fight it and the only to fight it is to understand its causes and consequences.
As far as the causes are concerned, we have poverty as we see parents who can't afford to have their students rent next to their high schools, let alone the books and copybooks.
Sometimes, the boarding schools don't do enough for many of the students whose parents are poor. Another cause for those whose parents can afford is the lack of motivation as students don't see
the use of going to school. They don't undestand that going to school and getting educated is a win-win situation even if he doesn't get the dream job he or she has in mind, the student will get
educated and accomplish one of the sacred causes he was put on this earth for in the first place. We can also find as a cause the ignorance parents of the importance and fail to help their
children see the importance of education. It is God's Will if the parent does his best but his child can't see the truth the parent is trying to get across but nevertheless the parent should
never stop trying.
Concerning the consequences, the students get back to illiteracy and stay in that darkness and in turn can badly influence their children and their grandchildren. Moreover, the crime
rate increases as these students end up jobless and some of them resort to stealing in order to make ends meet, of course if they don't have God in their hearts and don't understand the
punishment for stealing in this world and especially in the Afterlife. Finally, these students start taking drugs and fall in the downward spiral that does nothing but destroy their lives and of
those they share their lives with namely spouse and children God forbid.
Students, parents and teachers are share equal responsibilities in helping fight this "cancer" that is dropping out of school and give it its due importance in order to help
eradicate it from our world.

wonderful time together.
I'm so happy to know that your sister got married last week. How about the wedding ceremony. Did you enjoy it? I can see from the pictures you attached to your last e-mail that the
ceremony was really interesting. I liked your caftan. You looked like a real princess in it. I wish you could bring one for me when you come to France next summer. I'll pay you back.
Please give my regards in your family.
Yours,
Jacqueline.

77, Al Massira Street.
Oued Zem.
May 13th, 2020.
Dear Amine,
My name is Mohammed, I'm 17 and I'm a High School student at ibn Tofail High School in Oued Zem.
I have a huge problem. I spend many hours in front of the computer, more than normal and consequently, I have problems at school. I don't spend enough time focusing on my studies. I find
myself chatting with some friends or watching videos that are irrelevant and unimportant.
I have tried to read books that help me in my studies and educate my mind, but everytime I open Facebook or YouTube, I get lured into watching videos and reading comments that are
nonsense.
One of the big negative consequences of these bad actions is my parents' reaction as they lost hope and are very furious at me not passing this year.
Please help me by giving me a solution to this problem, I'm in a downward spiral and I need you to pull me up to where I should be.
Please tell me what you think I should do in your letter, I must close now.
Write soon!
Best wishes,
Mohammed.

Subject: Entertainment in Morocco
From: yassir99@menara.ma
To: keiko99@menara.ma
Hi Keiko,
I'm writing this message to answer your email about the fascinating information you gave me about the Japanese people and what they do in their free time.
Regarding Moroccans, we have similar habits like other cultures since we lived in a globalized world. What characterizes Morocco about free time for example the Friday prayer where Muslims
get together in midday to pray together. After that, most Moroccan families eat couscous together in their free time.
Most Moroccans go out on weekends with their families to eat outside. Young people usually read books, watch movies and cartoons which I realized later were made by your famous Japanese
cartoon companies and translated and dubbed into Standard Arabic in mostly Lebanese studios.
Best wishes,
Yassir.

B.
Last summer, I went with my parents to my cousin's wedding. It was a very hot summer, but Thank God it was at night which was cooler.
When we arrived, the photographer took a photo of us. Then the couple arrived with performers (Abidat Errma) playing traditional Moroccan songs beginning by a Prayer to the Muhammad the
Final Messenger of God Peace and Prayers of Allah be upon him. Then the band and Abidat Errma each played their songs one after another. Then the ushers served delicious Moroccan food. They
started with a Bastilla (Pigeon Pie), then chicken with lemon sauce, beef with dried blueberries and finally desert. The couple wore different clothes representing different regions of Morocco
and each outfit worn was accompanied by the music of that region. At the very end, they played a few famous international hits from western music.
I had a great time as I was happy to see my cousin forming his own family and the the people there was a great hospitality. I surely advise people to attend such events. Nevertheless, I
prefer weddings where men are separated from the women to show respect and not see women dancing in front of men and vice-versa.

May 15th, 2020
72, Al Massira Street.
Oued Zem.
Dear Ayoub,
I hope your family is well and this letter finds you in good health.
I would like to tell you about my eating habits and the activities I practise to keep fit and healthy. I thought you might find it interesting.
I take varied food elements in my meals. I make sure I eat fish, chicken, lamd and beef in the same week. I also try as much as possible to include vegetables whether in salads or the main
dishes cooked with the meats or fish.
I try not to eat until I'm full. Not only as a diet, but I keep in mind people who don't have 10% of what I have in this meal and this empathy for them makes me satisfied with the little I
eat. I save the rest for later. It also saves effort and money that go into making another meal.
The housework I do to me is a kind of exercise. Since I don't go out often, I play spiritual music like Michael Jackson's God rest his soul. A song like BAD has movements that are simple
yet so energetic given the nature of his song about God sending his Angels to bless and protect us and I find this spiritual uplifting in many of his songs that have a great rhythm too. I work
out a lot of sweat while doing such choreography.
I think a good eating habit. I should just refrain from eating a lot of fat in sauces and make sure it is well barbecued or in a tagine and is well cooked that it sticks to the bottom of
the tagine.
I hope you find inspiration in this letter my dear friend and that you will help out people as I'm sure they will find such advice very helpful not only as far as health, but spiritually
as well which is our main purpose on this earth. All Praise to God for His Guidance.
With my best wishes,
Omar Ben Yaacob.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm writing this letter to suggest ideas that you could help with in order to protect forests in my area.
First, I would like to point out those responsible for this state we are in. The people with their negligence in throwing lit cigarettes while driving or while camping. The government who
does nothing to stop people from throwing ads for elections on the floor instead of relying on less paper and more electronic ads. Schools that do not provide enough cultural sessions that
promote awareness and consciousness for major global issues that require empathy on our part.
I would like to get financial help from you to hire people to help promote this awareness and consciousness. I would also need your expertise by giving us advice on how to create banners
and videos. We would also want you to pressure our media to give us timeslots to promote such messages more than unethical series that promote immoral values.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Omar Ben Yaacob.

Suggestions to the problem of poverty.
The father has no fixed job and doesn't take his responsibility seriously when he has many kids. Having many kids is beautiful especially if they are raised well with good values ordained
by God. Those morals will spread and the whole society is rewarded. Like a seed that grows into enough wheat to feed a whole nation.
The couples in big families need to remember the core of why they are together. They are on a common journey toward hopefully their eternal abode. So they should overcome petty problems
and not let Satan come between them to divide them. Unfortunately, many couples give in easily and resort to divorce which destroys the family so deeply.
Consequently, this surrender to divorce causes to kids becoming delinquent and resentful of school. In turn, this causes these children to grow without basic education or any work skills.
Then, they become street children or maids at a very young age. This has a very dangerous consequences as there are instances where they can become victims of sex abuse or find themselves
arrested by the police. Ultimately, these kids remain poor.
That is why in this article I comeback to the core notion of education and the spiritual uplifting and consciousness that gives them immunity against these immoral wave that is like a
cancer that infests society. God gave us all the guidelines in the Qur'an even when it comes to choosing the right person as a spouse which is a believe, because people who neglect these holy
values is a disbeliever in my opinion. Taking responsibilty for your family big or small and not watch out for the poison spreading in this world by some decision-makers that work in rogue
mode.

Writing A Report on Violated Child Rights in Your Area p 130
A and B
Concerning the rights Article 3 which is about the best interests of the child. Moreover, I cite Article 6 which is life, survival and development. Additionally, Article 18 about parental
responsibility as well as Article 19 about abuse and neglect (while in family or care). Also, Article 23 about disabled children and Article 24 about health care. Moreover, Article 31 about play
and recreation and finally Article 33 about narcotic and psychotic substances.
As for the examples in our area. Article 3 is seen here where parents let their kids play in dangerous areas without monitoring them in the streets, as those kids pick up bad behaviour and
language.
For Article 6, this is seen when some clinics show no care for women when they go into labor. We hear examples of women who had C-sections but when stitched back, a towel was found in a woman's
womb. This is also shown when lethal and bad vaccines are given to children in a mandatory manner that destroys their health. An example of Article 18 being violated is when we see parents
putting the burden of education on schools alone without any follow-ups. The molding of the core values starts with the mother and father at home. An example of Article 19 is when we see kids
being abused by their parents who take their anger out on them for no specific reason just because they are upset. Article 23 is not respected when we see schools for example that mix students
with disabilities with those with no disabilities which constitutes a huge challenge for the disabled children.
Article 24 is when we see the health care system forcing vaccines on kids who were healthy before the vaccine and are now sick with autism for instance, which tortures the child and his family
and all those surrounding him. This is closely related to the previous issue about disabled children and this constitutes the cause for the calamity. Article 31 is violated when we see the lack
of cultural activities that would motivate children to learn more, educational yet fun activities that create consciousness and awareness in their minds. The schools for instance focus just on
teaching languages and content without content that motivates and lets them see what is truly going on in the world and the source of the calamities and what the Creator warned us about. Article
33 finally is seen when we see drug and alcohol salespoints around schools getting kids addicted to drugs from a very early age.
The cultural sessions I mentioned create awareness which cover this aspect too as Michael Jackson God rest his soul tackled this subject in his short film "Smooth Criminal" where he finds
out how an agency in the United Nation itself promotes such acts for the own mischievous plans and he was chased throughout the movie but God everytime sends angels to save him from their
conspiracies and he ends up winning and saving these kids who were praying at school and this bothered the UN representative as he wanted prayers to Allah to be replaced with drug taking for his
own benefit.
Michael Jackson eventually got assassinated in dark circumstances and the evidence all point to the fact that he was killed by people "higher than the American government itself" in his final
call to his then manager which is all over YouTube. The Truth Thank God is surfacing and God Willing it shall set the world free from this cancer and cure it for once and for all God Willing.
This is the solution in my opinion, to focus on creating this awareness and dismantle this hypnosis taking place in the world. In turn, parents and everyone in society should be aware of this
Truth and work all together towards a sure path to a better future blessed by the Almighty God, God Willing.

Kinds of travel Definition
1. Package tour: it is like escorted tours usually have fixed itineraries with hotels and all transportation - including local transfers - booked and paid for in advance. The difference is that
there is no group. Once you arrive, you are on your own to visit and see what you want. The tour operator may make a range of excursions and local transit arrangements available - at extra but
reduced prices. And the operator will usually have a representative available at the destination to handle problems or book local outings.
2. Escorted tour: it usually involves group travel with accomodations, activities and meals included. Generally, the tour will follow a set itinerary and will be accompanied by a tour director or
guide. Sometimes local guides and experts may join in.
3. Solo traveller: someone who enjoys travelling alone.
4. Family trip: family members on the same trip.
5. Charter trip: it is a variation of a package tour and is a common way to reach the world's more popular destinations. The travel operator rents an airplane and sells the seats. Sometimes hotel
or other destination components may be sold alongside the charter flight tickets.
(A charter flight is an unscheduled flight that is not part of a regular airline routing. With a charter flight, you rent the entire aircraft and can determine departure/arrival locations and
times. There are several types of charter flights. Private Charter.)
6. Trekking: a long and difficult journey, especially in the mountains.

Hi Bob,
I read your letter about the issue you are facing when you travel and want some help knowing the things that you really don't need.
It depends on where you are going, unless you are going camping, you won't need a Swiss army knife, as the people you are staying with are sure to have knives that will be of assistance
when in need. I don't see why you need a well packed luggage as you put in your checklist. You have to be more specific and take only the clothes you will need. If you can't carry a lot of
clothes, take only two outfits in addition to the one you are wearing. If you are staying for a long time, I'm sure you can wash clothes that become dirty. You don't need to take that many
clothes as there is no need to show off with them.
Again in your letter, you didn't specify where you were going. I can see from the checklist that you might be going camping in which case you might need all the things that you have
mentioned. That is why I find it hard in this letter to omit any of the stuff you have mentioned. You can just tell your mother everything on that list is important because I will need it.
This includes the passport you mentioned, if you are not travelling abroad you don't need to take it with you. The insect repellent is very important because you might end up suffering
with mosquitoes. Of course the digital camera is with me to capture the moment and the possible landscape if we are talking about camping or even a casual visit to a relative.
As I said before, the rest of the items on the checklist are important too but I believe the points I made about the items that might look unimportant were discussed. I hope your mother
will be convinced that some of the items I mentioned.
I wish a safe and fun trip.
Best wishes.
Omar.

Writing Writing a Biography p 146
In 1304, Ibn Battuta was born in Tangiers.
Between 1325 and 1350, he started travelling. He went on Hajj (pilgrimage). While he travelled, he visited many countries (44 modern countries). He covered about 120,000 km (75,000 miles).
He got married many times. He went to Makkah on pilgrimage several times. During that time, he faced many dangers. He did many jobs, especially a Qadi (judge) an ambassador, a trader,
etc...
In 1350, he returned home and his mother died a few months before. A few days later, he travelled to Spain (Al-Andalus).
From 1352 to 1354, he went on a journey into Africa. During that time, he visited Mali, Timbuktu as well as other nearby places. In 1354, he settled in Fez while he dictated his journey to
Ibn Juzzayy. That same year, he served as a consultant to Sultan Abu Inan. His book Arrihla was written.
Fifteen years later, in 1369, he died in Fez.
Years later, namely in the 1800s, Arrihla was discovered and translated into many languages and thus became famous. God rest his soul.

A girl, 8, was tortured to death in Pakistan after accidentally freeing expensive parrots from their cage.
Zohra Shah, an unpaid domestic worker, was killed in the affluent neighbourhood of Rawalpindi, Pakistan’s fourth-largest city.
God rest her soul. We will do our best and more to expose these cockroaches behind this enslaving capitalistic system God Willing.
Suggestions to the problem of poverty.
The father has no fixed job and doesn't take his responsibility seriously when he has many kids. Having many kids is beautiful especially if they are raised well with good values ordained
by God. Those morals will spread and the whole society is rewarded. Like a seed that grows into enough wheat to feed a whole nation.
The couples in big families need to remember the core of why they are together. They are on a common journey toward hopefully their eternal abode. So they should overcome petty problems
and not let Satan come between them to divide them. Unfortunately, many couples give in easily and resort to divorce which destroys the family so deeply.
Consequently, this surrender to divorce is one of the causes behind kids becoming delinquent and resentful of school. In turn, this causes these children to grow without basic education or
any work skills. Then, they become street children or maids at a very young age. This has very dangerous consequences as there are instances where they can become victims of sex abuse or find
themselves arrested by the police. Ultimately, these kids remain poor.
That is why in this article I comeback to the core notion of education and the spiritual uplifting and consciousness that gives them immunity against these immoral waves that is like a
cancer that infests society. God gave us all the guidelines in the Qur'an even when it comes to choosing the right person as a spouse which is a believe, because people who neglect these holy
values is a disbeliever in my opinion. Taking responsibilty for your family big or small and not watch out for the poison spreading in this world by some decision-makers that work in rogue
mode.
Check out my documentary Michael Jackson Symbolism on my Youtube channel Marouane Dahni and see who's behind this conspiracy against all of us.

God rest George Floyd's soul. We need to understand what led to all this and look at the bigger picture despite the anger we feel. So here's how I see it and I hope this spreads all over
the world.
George Floyd worked as a security guard and moved from Texas to Minnesota due to an economic crisis he was going through. With the Coronavirus quarantine laws worldwide, they called his
place of work to close like all restaurants and this is a masterplan by the elite whom I have been exposing for 11 years now and this is one of their big plans, a NEW WORLD ORDER after a WORLD
ECONOMIC COLLAPSE and A WORLD SOCIAL UNREST to then justify their reliance on a saviour government.
Anyways to keep the focus on what went down and be as brief as possible, George Floyd God rest his soul used a fake 20 dollar bill to pay for something and that was why the police
intervened. Among those officers was Derek Chauvin, who worked as a security guard too off duty to make extra money and might have known George Floyd. Their boss whose last name is Santamaria,
criticized Chauvin's manner of work and violence towards customers as he was a security guard who worked outside, and she thanked George Floyd instead who worked inside which seems to me could
have been a more comfortable job than the one Chauvin had outside. This could trigger a jealousy and hatred towards Floyd and Chauvin might have been racist from before.
Anyways, the way he rested on his neck like that for over 7 minutes which looks like a sadistic sick way to get revenge and torture him is unacceptabe and it really got me angry. Although
I would sympathize with the violence expressed by some rioters, it is wrong to do that and it helps the agenda of those who are behind the coronavirus and behind this poverty that led to the
forgery crime attributed to George Floyd because he seems to me to be a good man from a video shared by former NBA Player Stephen Jackson where Floyd spoke about people having to get ready to
meet God and fear Hell and wake up and stop using guns like that and killing innocent people, like he said it beautifully "With God, it's either UP or DOWN" and I will share in the comments below
this post that video too God Willing.
Again, for us to see the bigger picture, I see conspiracy and even if it isn't a conspiracy and just 4 people's racist crime, we need to feel the anger and sadness for seeing a human being
like that dying. Even they hanged Chauvin as a death penalty, it is not like being choked for over 7 minutes like that as it is a slower, much more painful death. I mean and God himself tells us
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
SO WHAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE, we should make this event, the death of our brother George Floyd God rest his soul, an event that pushes us to seek more than ever the Truth and raise
God's name, I speak as a Muslim and a person whose duty is to get people to see the bigger picture and walk in the right righteous direction.
THIS VIOLENCE will only create more tension and will lead to arrests and more brutality. Instead I invite you to see the documentary "Michael Jackson Symbolism" on my YouTube channel
Marouane Dahni. I tackled this evil group plan, The Illuminati/Masons/Zionists, and Michael Jackson God rest his soul, despite tackling this subject among many important ones in his art, always
includes the words Allah Akbar in his songs and short films, because he knows that the only way for us to make it in this world is to see what God tells us in the Torah, Bible and Qur'an.
They complete one another and this was the reason why Michael Jackson was killed, he underwent police brutality when he was arrested in 2004 I believe but the police denied it despite
Michael showing evidence and he never got justice for that nor for getting killed for trying and wanting to tell the world the TRUTH about God and the corruptions and divisions that took place,
Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad all had the same message, BE A SERVANT OF THE ONE GOD, THE CREATOR. I know this is all hard to believe and I have never stopped
making videos despite the difficulties and challenges of my responsibilities as a father, husband, teacher... I promise myself everytime I see these terrible things and Floyd's suffocating really
broke and tore my heart, we need to share this truth that I'm talking about. I truly believe this Truth is THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST PEACE AND PRAYERS OF GOD BE UPON HIM TO DESTROY THE
ANTICHRIST/DAJJAL and I have all the piece of the puzzle now put together.
Let Floyd's death be a reason to expose these cockroaches's plans, I mean they imitate their ancestor Pharaoh and you know in the Qur'an God told us he preserved his body as a sign for
later generations, HIS GRANDSONS LITERALLY MEANING PHARAOH IS THE GREAT GRANDFATHER OF TODAY'S ILLUMINATI, and they all used magic to deceive their people. In all of the wrongdoers in HISTORY,
Pharaoh is the only whose body was preserved, MUMMIFICATION IS A LIE, it is a miracle they are hiding but are failing.
SO, the riots show we can't take anymore of this but let it not be the way we seek, many will die without knowing God's TRUE MESSAGE for which Michael Jackson God rest his soul was killed.
So I advise you to protest but peacefully and online by spreading this TRUTH with THE WHOLE WORLD.
More than ever, we should GET TOGETHER and GET IT TOGETHER!
YOURS TRULY AND WITH MY BEST WISHES,
MAROUANE DAHNI (The director of the documentary "Michael Jackson Symbolism")
They are not just symbols, they are the final symbols that will truly bring THE TRUTH TO THE WORLD, GOD WILLING.
I will make an Arabic translation of this post soon God Willing. Any volunteer who can translate this in Arabic and their language is truly welcome and it's all our duties to take part in
this! WE HAVE TO.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL,
