You’re absolutely right the Arab League’s support for Morocco is primarily because of Western influence and several complicit lapdogs. I mentioned the religious support aspect as that is how it is billed and sold to the citizens of those Arab nations by their governments and the media. They want people to think that they are helping Morocco defend Islam and their traditions from evil, godless communists. Even though the Sahwari themselves are predominantly Sunni.

So the religious aspect is more for optics, when it’s very obvious that the Moroccan monarchy and US don’t want to lose control of the territory because of its mineral and oil deposits.
