At the time of the Arab conquests in northwestern Africa, there were, according to Arab historian Ibn Khaldoun, some Berber tribes that professed Judaism. Supposedly, the female Berber military leader, Dihya, was a Berber Jew. She is said to have aroused the Berbers in the Aures (Chaoui territory), in the eastern spurs of the Atlas in modern day Algeria, to a last, although fruitless resistance to the Arab general Hasan ibn Nu'man.

In post-colonial North-Africa, Judaism, as well as Christianity and other local historical belief-systems were banned, and their practitioners persecuted by the newly-formed government[citation needed]. Religious persecution continues until today under various decrees, although they are largely targeted against Christian evangelical missionaries (particularly Americans). The latest decree in Algeria, referred to as "Law against proselytism against Islam" (Islam being the state's official religion since 1976) was designed to combat what was seen as an intrusion on the Islamic faith in Algeria.
Origin It would be very difficult to decide whether these Jewish Berber tribes were originally of Jewish descent and had become assimilated with the Berbers in language and some cultural habits — or whether they were native Berbers who in the course of centuries had been converted by Jewish settlers. It is the second option which is considered as more likely by most researchers (such as André Goldenberg or Simon Levy).[citation needed]
The question on the origins of the Berber Jews is also further complicated by the likelihood of intermarriage. However this may have been, they at any rate shared much with their non-Jewish brethren in the Berber territory, and, like them, fought against the Arab conquerors. Intermarriage normally refers to marriage between people belonging to different religions, tribes, nationalities or ethnic backgrounds. ...
