I forgot to mention in my earlier reply that the Maghribi themselves were
Jewish. It's worth noting that all three religions rely on the same basic
texts, just selected and ordered differently. The major distinction
between them is how to order and interpret, not fundamental doctrine (ie
God, Satan, do good to your fellows, do various things to your enemies,
etc.).

It's really more a segregation made according to 'state' (ie major
religious interpretation) based upon economic pragmatism.
