* A rather comical situation in the Philippines, where the hapless Arroyo government is somehow (how exactly?) trying to separate the good Moro’s from the bad MILF’s, just like they’re trying to separate the good Hamas boyz from the bad Fatah terrorists (or visa-versa) and elsewhere the good Sunni’s from the bad Shite…. you get the drift?

A rebel of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. His group has attacked Christian communities.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (BosNewsLife)– Christians in the southern Philippines feared more attacks Tuesday, October 7, a day after the European Union said it would extend seven million euros, or almost 10 million dollars, in emergency aid for people displaced by the Muslim insurgency in the area.
The announcement by the EU, described as one of the largest sources of official development aid to the predominantly Roman Catholic southeast Asian country’s Muslim region, followed similar pledges of more aid from United Nations agencies. Yet Christian families on the island
of Mindanao have told reporters that they remain concerned amid reports Islamic rebels could attack them at midnight.

* What? In spite of all the efforts by the Arroyo government to ‘respect the holy month of Ramadan’, in spite of making major concessions, offering autonomy and addressing multiple Moro-Muslim grievances, no peace with the ‘RoP?’  So now, as ‘interfaith dialogue’ continues, we are to believe that it is only a few ‘rogue elements’ that keep fighting the jihad?

Moro Islamic Liberation Front renews call for jihad against Philippines gov’t

Philippines Jihad Update. “MILF: Religious leaders calling for jihad vs govt,” from GMA News

MANILA, Philippines — Religious leaders in Lanao are calling for a jihad (holy war) in fighting “oppressors” against Islam, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) claimed Saturday.

“Sermons of the religious leaders of Lanao provinces in Friday’s congregational prayers called on the Bangsamoro to unite and wage jihad fi sabilillah in fighting the oppressors, religious persecutors and enemies of Islam,” it said.

That is, jihad for the sake of Allah, which refers to armed conflict. More from JW

Thai government, Muslim leaders “agree to end southern conflict”

There is a striking similarity in this story to the peace talks between jihadists and the government of the Philippines, which recently fell apart and returned directly to calls for jihad. One cannot help but wonder, when aware of Islamic history and teachings regarding truces (hudna), whether this will truly lead to a lasting peace, or just buy time.

“Thailand: Govt and Muslims agree to end southern conflict,” from AdnKronos International

Demands by Thai Muslims include the introduction of Islamic law and making ethnic Pattani Malay (Yawi) a working language in the region, as well as the improvement of the local economy and education system. (which means jihad indoctrination in Koran schools instead of  education/ed)

MANILA, GMA News TV--Philippines — Religious leaders in Lanao are calling for a jihad (holy war) in fighting “oppressors” against Islam, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) claimed Saturday.

* Muslims hit government for ‘unprincipled attacks’

In a statement on its website (www.luwaran.com), the MILF said the calls were made in sermons of religious leaders during Friday congregational prayers.

“Sermons of the religious leaders of Lanao provinces in Friday’s congregational prayers called on the Bangsamoro to unite and wage jihad fi sabilillah in fighting the oppressors, religious persecutors and enemies of Islam,” it said.
