	About Me
		The Moroland (presently known as "Southern Philippines") is composed of Mindanao island (the second largest island of the Philippine islands) the Sulu archipelago, Palawan, Basilan and the neighbouring islands.
		The Moroland is rich of natural resources and mines, aside from the fertility of its soil, yet quite behind in economic development because of being neglected by the Manila government.
		Since annexation of the Moroland by the Philippines, a vast amount of Pesos is being generated by the crusade Philippine government out of the Moro wealth on the account of the Moros themselves.

		Moroland consists of approximately 117,000 square kilometers or 38% of the state's territory.

		The process of the Islamization of Moroland first started in Sulu Archipelago towards the end of 13th century, estimated to be in 1280 CE, through the missionary effort of a certain Tuan Mashaikha who married there and established the first Islamic community.
		The impact of Islamization of the Moroland was so great as Cesar Adib Majul, a Muslim historian, commented: "By adopting Islam, a segment of the population of the Philippines became a part of the wider religious community from the pillars of Hercules to the borders of China.
		It is true that it was generally approved in the Moroland, but the Christian settlers were the ones who did it; the Moros rejected it with the ground that it would destroy their religion, rights, and marital customs.

	Work towards Republic of Moroland - Malaysiakini
		The root cause of Filipino Muslim terrorism is the suppression of Muslim Filipino aspirations for the establishment of an independent Moroland.
		Moroland was the rump of the Sulu Empire, covering Sabah, Mindanao and the Sulu Islands.
		But if Moroland is made independent gradually, under the leadership of progressive leaders picked by the people of Moroland, an independent Moroland will be good for both Malaysia and the Philippines.

		By 1903, the judicial system and laws of the Philippines were applicable to aliens and Christian Filipinos living in Moroland and to Moros and Pagans in cases where either of the former two were involved.
		The American direct rule over Moroland from 1899 to 1920 convinced many Moro leaders to lay down their arms in exchange for American protection and tutelage.
		The sentiments of Moros and some American political analysts like J. Ralston Hayden, was that the Moros and Moroland were not ready to be abandoned by the Americans.

	IslamicAwakening.Com : the Moro Jihad - Continuous Struggle in Southern Philippines
		On the granting of independence to the Philippines by America in the year 1946, there was a strong objection by the Moros to the inclusion of the Moroland but neither the Americans nor the christianised Filipinos had listened to them, knowing that thePhilippines is an American agent in the region.
		This has been reflected by the organisation of theChristian militia (armed) movement known as 'illegal' to strike terror against the unarmed Moro civilians, especially among the rural areas.

		In brief, the direct rule policy, overtly, was to implement the so-called American mandate in Moroland to develop, to civilize, to educate, to train the Moros in the art of democratic governance.
		The non-acceptability of a separate Moroland was a foregone conclusion.
		The second cause was the specious pretext raised apologetically that the Moros were not only poor but ignorant, little realizing that it was one of the fundamental duties of government to attend to the needs particularly of the marginalized and depressed sections of the population.

		By 1914, "Moroland", as it was most commonly termed by the Americans, was considered fully pacified and civilian colonial rule was finally inaugurated 13 years after its establishment in the rest of the colony.
		Moroland soon came under the primary administrative supervision of the Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes.
		Philippine Muslims were grouped together with tribal Filipinos for administration because both were thought to need special attention to advance to the level of civilization of Christian Filipinos.

		It must be emphasized and acknowledged that the Moros and the Indios (the Christianized Filipinos) never constituted a nation and that it was only in 1946, upon the proclamation of the Philippine Republic that the Moros and the Indios became part of one nation-state.......
		The Christian majority in the country propagates the myth that although the Moros fought, they were nevertheless conquered by the Spaniards.
		Historical records show that the Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan were never conquered by Spain and therefore the Treaty of Paris in 1898 was void ab initio with regards to Mindanao.

		Whether our participation is direct or indirect, it seems pretty clear that at least some American soldiers will once again be operating in Moroland, where Gen. John "Black Jack" Pershing gained fame fighting Muslim warriors in the early 1900s.
		Years of periodic warfare followed, until Pershing finally broke the back of Moro resistance at the Battle of Bud Bagsak in 1913.
		Then the U.S. integrated Moroland into the rest of the Philippines, and Catholic immigrants from the north began migrating to the southern islands.

		Some of the other blades found in Moroland include the punal, panabas, pira, laring, lahot, and utak.
