ABSTRACT As a result of the 2003 Casablanca terrorist attacks, Morocco initiated a series of religious reforms that primarily included the reorganising of religious structures to promote the practice of ‘moderate’ Maliki Islam and provide ‘spiritual security’ to a variety of religious publics. This article examines how Morocco’s moderate Islam has been instrumental in establishing religious exclusivity. That said, the centralised control of the state is increasingly challenged by the emergence of diverse spheres of expression and transformations in religious practice. This article therefore problematises ‘state Islam’ as a project that regulates public religion and determines its legitimate actors and examines the plurality of religious experiences and how these negotiate the tension between individual freedom and social conformity, shape complex acts of subjecthood, and participate in the (re)making of the public space. This paper also explores the particular role of digital media in shaping new ‘acts of citizenship’ that articulate the increasingly changing contours of the religious public space.
