Why do Moroccans believe in Sunni Islam?
Answer 1
What is the problem? The Majority of Muslims are Sunnis (over 85%). However, both Sunnis and Shiaa Muslims differ in minor and side issues and both agree on the basic Islamic issues. So, it doesn't make so much difference to Sunni or Shiaa Muslim. Refer to question below.
Answer 2
As for Morocco in particular, there are particular historical reasons why Morocco currently has a Sunni Muslim majority. Prior to the arrival of the Islamic Armies in the late 670s and 680s Morocco was primarily Animist with small populations of Christians (especially along the Mediterranean Coast) and small populations of Jews (in the Atlas Mountains). Morocco converted to Sunni Islam quite rapidly in the 680s and 690s CE since many Amazigh (Berbers) wanted to take part in the new Umayyad Empire.
However, a small minority of Moroccans embraced Zaydi Shiite Islam and used the religious difference to promote self-rule, leading to the independent Shiite Idrissid Dynasty in the 780s to the 970s. The Fatimids eventually conquered the area bringing about a period of Ismaili Shiite Islam in Morocco. By the time that the Almoravids conquered most of Morocco in the 1040s, Morocco was mostly Shiite.
However, the Almoravids were Sunni from the Maliki School and pushed for the increasing dominance of Sunni Islam. After the Almoravids came the Almohads who discriminated harshly against Shiite Muslims and led to most of the country becoming Sunni from the Maliki School. From this point forward, every Moroccan Dynasty would support this form of Islam until it became almost unanimous, save for the Jewish and Christian populations still in the country. The Christians departed for the most part after the colonial period. The majority of the Jews left after the Establishment of the State of Israel, leaving a community of less than 4,000 individuals in Morocco.
