MILF: MILF sends delegation to World Peace Forum in Bogor, Indonesia

From the MILF Website (Nov 22): MILF sends delegation to World Peace Forum in Bogor, Indonesia

The invitation was extended by the Muhammadiyyah, the second biggest Muslim social organization in Indonesia with some 40 million card-bearing members. The organization was founded in 1912 by Ahmad Dahlan in the city of Yogyakarta as a reformist socioreligious movement, advocating ijtihad - individual interpretation of Qur'an and sunnah, as opposed to taqlid - the acceptance of the traditional interpretations propounded by the ulama.....  Sheikh Abdulwahab Faisal, Abdulla Camlian, a member of the MILF peace panel, and Hadji Salim Sahaji make up the MILF delegation. Likewise, the MNLF is reportedly represented by no less than Chairman Nur Misuari and Cotabato City Vice Mayor Moslemin Sema, also a chairman of another MNLF faction. Both the MILF and MNLF delegations are expected to arrive in Jakarta on November 22. It was also learned that the Philippine government peace panel is also sending a two-man delegation composed of Bai Yasmin Busran Lao, a member of its peace panel, and Atty. Joe Lorena, a member of its technical working committee on power-sharing. In holding the peace forum, Muhammadiyyah is partnering with the Centre for Dialogue and Cooperation among Civilizations (CDCC) and the Cheng Ho Multi Cultural and Education Trust.....
