Alawi dynasty
Ruling dynasty of Morocco since 1631
Summary
The 'Alawi dynasty – also rendered in English as Alaouite, 'Alawid, or Alawite – is the current Moroccan royal family and reigning dynasty. They are an Arab Sharifian dynasty and claim descent from the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his grandson, Hasan ibn Ali. Their ancestors originally migrated to the Tafilalt region, in present-day Morocco, from Yanbu on the coast of the Hejaz in the 12th or 13th century.

Reverted 1 edit by [[Special:Contributions/CassandraFassi|CassandraFassi]] ([[User talk:CassandraFassi|talk]]): Restore sourced information. That is not what [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] say.
Deleted “authoritarian,” and “some.” Morocco’s state is not an authoritarian government; when compared to most countries’ governing institutions, Morocco’s are relatively democratic. Since 1999, there have been countless policy and political reforms in Morocco.

How does Arab, doesn't make sense? Is this racism? Here you didn't remove Berber [[Almoravid dynasty]]. Why wiping out Arab articles?
