Homophobia
On July 7, 2015, during an interview on Chada FM radio, he advised homosexuals to change their sex to avoid problems.[5] In September 2017, when questioned by a journalist on the rejection of the UN recommendations relating to the decriminalization of homosexuality by Morocco, he replied: "Enough is enough. Everyone gives importance to this homosexuality and wants to talk about it. These people are rubbish", and attracting the wrath of several Moroccan associations. He persisted a few days later, qualifying homosexuality as "sexual deviance" and affirming that it "remains a crime punished by Moroccan law and is moreover not acceptable by our society".[6]
