2.1 pacifist attitude The Mozabits are of Ibadhit obedience The Ibadhits, known under the name of ‘Quietists’ to have refused armed confrontation, encouraged the dialogue with the ‘Omeyyad’ authorities and adopted since, a pacifist attitude. Thus, they were limiting themselves since to denunciation of the wrong, recommendation of the right and to the formation of faith preachers. This, constitute their retorts against society deviation and governors abuse. This thought of ‘Quietist ‘ marked deeply the behaviour of the Mozabits during all their existence in the valley. 2.2 patriotic roots The conception of a completely hermetic model can not have the luck to survive ten centuries. Indeed this model opens a measured way outside to enrich itself but without letting absorb itself by its environment. This opening is well expressed by indefectible attachment of this community at all moments of history, to its mother homeland, Algeria. The M’zab considers itself like an integral part of its mother homeland Algeria and one of its main cultural richness. It refused the French occupation by the voice of its spiritual leader Sheikh M.Tfyèche that has been kept under house arrest for the remainder of his life. It refused the separation of the Sahara of the remainder of Algeria by its reformer leader Sheikh B. Bayoud and it turned out remarkable Moufdi Zakaria, ‘Poet of the Revolution ‘ that knew to express this feeling of attachment while singing the historic prestige of all regions of Algeria in his famous ‘Iliad ‘ and while composing the national hymn of Algeria. 2.3 popular expression ‘Toumzabt’ is a variety of the Berber language spoken in Algeria. It is spoken and written in Arabian letters or in Berber alphabet ‘Tifinagh ‘. ‘Toumzabt’ component of the Berber language or ‘Tamazight ‘ develops and invests today the Algerian media.
