Morocco has a rich religious history, although today the vast majority of Moroccans are Sunni Muslims of the Maliki rite. Although the Maliki school of Islam originated in Medina, Islam’s second holiest city, Morocco (and, for a time, Andalusian Spain) became the preeminent center of Maliki scholarship. Christians and Jews are now few in number, but Morocco was one of the principal centers of Sephardic Judaism after their expulsion from Spain in 1492.
