BIFM: BIFM stand on the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement

Posted to the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Movement (BIFM) Website (Apr 5): BIFM stand on the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement


As a revolutionary organization professing Islamic ideology for the realization of the Bangsamoro people to free themselves from the corrupt, secular government of Manila, the BIFM has opted to participate in the current issues on the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement by way of declaring its official stands.

In the first week of march, same year, a gathering aimed at soliciting opinions whether the BIFM is within or external from the scope of the subject framework and whether to release BIFM positions or not , on the said issues. It was finally agreed upon that on the basis of established objectives and reasons of principles, the BIFM as a revolutionary organization oriented on the Islamic Movement led by the prophet Muhammad (SAW), it (BIFM) open and distinct group, as such distantly external from the skeletal structure of the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement.

In view of the foregoing circumstances, the following justifying that then BIFM is distinct and external from the GPH-MILF FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT:

1.That the BIFM leadership is still firm and determined by any means to pursue independence of the Bangsamoro homeland as the lasting solution to the century old armed complicit in Mindanao and Sulu while the MILF, abandoned the Independence as the last and permanent solution, per official announcement by MILF chief peace panel Mr. Mohagher Iqbal on march 3, 2010 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as quoted below: ?We have declared time and again that the MILF will no longer pursue independence as solution to the Bangsamoro problem in favour of an asymmetrical arrangement of a ?State and Sub-state arrangement? (See http//www.Luwaran.net). This is now doubly evidenced when the GPH-MILF Framework Agreement was signed by the parties on October 15, 2012 the traditional home of the Philippine chief executive.

2.That the BIFM leadership will not accept the Philippine government to govern the Bangsamoro homeland or any part thereof, nor shall recognize the Filipino-Moro joint governance on any part of the Bangsamoro territories, except when the chief of state is chosen from among themselves (Believers of Islamic Faith)

3.That the doctrine of separation of church and state is ? Foreign ?, means strongly denied by Islam similarly the principle of democracy ? that government authority emanates from the people is incompatible as far as Islamic government system is concerned. Islam teaches its followers? that our religion is our government or vice versa and in matters of authority, it (Islam) opposes the principle of Filipino democracy. Islam asserts that authority emanates from God alone.

4.That as a revolutionary group, we cannot exactly agree on item 4, under part-1 (establishment of Bangsamoro ) OF THE Framework Agreement which states that the relationship of the central government with the Bangsamoro government shall e asymmetric.

Comment: when this term of asymmetric was translated by the Royal House of Rajah Buayan into Maguindanao version it sounds well. It is compared to the relationship between a parent and a child. Now, if we substitute the parent, it will be central government represented by President Aquino (Mushriq) and the child-the Bangsamoro government represented by MILF chairman, Al-Hj Murad Ebrahim (a Muslim) or True believer.

Historically, let us see what transpired between prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (Alayhissalam) and his father when he was yet a child. Ibrahim was a true believer, In fact a prophet while his father was a Mushrique( Kufr). Ibrahim was ordered by his father to sell the idols. By the Gods of my father Ibrahim shouted while dragging the idols.

The relationship between parent and child as expected in the Maguindanaon version can hardly be attained between the Filipinos (Philippine Government) and the Bangsamoro (MILF). MILF represented by Muslim Moros while the Philippine Government is represented by the Filipinos (Christian/Mushrique). In other words, if a parent is Musrique and a child is a believer (Mu?min) undoubtedly, the case cannot be compared appropriately with the relationship between the believer parent and a believer child;

5.That to end our stand on the issues, we call on every Bangsamoro Muslim, particularly the ULAMA and the professionals (those with secular education) to scan over injunctions in the Qur?an al- Karim.

?O, ye who believe, takes not my enemies and your enemies as friends, offering them love while they reject the truth.? Surah 60:1 ? Thou shall not find a people who believe in ALLAH and the last day befriending anyone who contravenes ALLAH and his messenger, even if they are their fathers or their sons r their brothers on their kinfolk? surah 58:22

Now, under the GPH-MILF framework agreement,? parties involved are the Manila Government represented by disbelievers headed his disbeliever also (Pres. Aquino and the Moro Islamic liberation Front, represented by the Bangsamoros(Muslims) . The asymmetric relationship as translated into Maguindanaon version by the Royal House of Rajah Buayan (relationship of father-mother and their child) is analogous to the relationship between prophet Ibrahim and his father. The father was a musrique while Ibrahim was a believer.

Hopefully, Insa Allah our brothers in faith ( the Bangsamoro Muslims) and our brothers in a race (the Christian settlers and indigenous people ) can understand and will understand us (BIFM) in registering our positions on the subject framework agreement along with our desire to give accurate information to local, national, and international communities. Further this declaration will serve guidance for any eventuality sooner or later. Insha ALLAH, we shall continue the struggle until the usurped Moro country be completely recovered from the hands of Indios-turned Filipino oppressors.
