Somali merchants were active in the past.

First of all, you are referencing a notorious Incel account. I wouldn't take him as a credible source. Can you please provide a legitimate source factually demonstrating that Somali merchants built a mosque in Morocco in the 1920s? I am genuinely curious and would love to learn more.

If it's not built by Somalis, then why is it's name Mosque Somalie?

What is the name of the Somali guy who built the masjid in Morocco in 1920? What is his name and qabil? Show me a credible or legitimate source that shows a Somali built the masjid in Morocco. Your assumption is based on a word sounding similar to the Somali language. There is a company in India called Sumal. According to your logic, the company was founded by a Somali because it sounds similar to the Somali language.

The distinction lies not in the term itself but in the residents of the city or town who are aware of its name and credit it as a Somali built mosque, given by Somali merchants during the 1920s. The place is explicitly labelled as "Mosque Somali," directly referencing the ethnic group's name, rather than a variant like "sumal," which is incorrect.

Also simply asking Ai on background check on the mosque it gives this:

What I can tell you:

• The Mosquée Somalie is located in Ouarzazate, Morocco.
• It is a relatively modern mosque, built in the 20th century.
• It is named after the Somali community in Ouarzazate.
• The mosque serves as a place of worship and community center for the Somali community in Ouarzazate.

Idk man. Somalie literally how you say "Somali" in french. Unless maybe somali has a meaning in French or Arabic other than the very obvious?
