From Free the Bangsamoro Movement Blog (Sep 28): Statement: Indignation will continue until President Aquino blocks blasphemy on YouTube
 |
| Blog Logo |
Muslim indignation over the blasphemous
film, “Innocence of Muslims”, will continue and gain momentum unless President
Benigno S. Aquino III blocks this vicious attack on the Holy Prophet of Islam
(saw) on YouTube. This indignation will not cease and will express itself in
many ways, hopefully not through means that might go beyond the parameters of
peaceful and legal remonstrance.But continue it will, until the national
government realizes that blocking this blasphemous film is the most just and
practical way to defuse Muslim indignation and maintain peace....

Editorial from the Manila Times (Sep 30): Thank you, Muslim Filipino brothers
UNLIKE those Muslims in the Middle East who allowed themselves to run wild with unjust anger at the United States and Americans for the despicable film “The Innocence of Muslims,” our Muslim fellow Filipinos have been the epitome of moderation. This is something the whole Filipino nation should be thankful for.... Unjust is what many Muslims abroad have become in their reaction to the evil and blasphemous film “The Innocence of Muslims.” But not our Filipino compatriots. In obeying the call of their religious leaders, their Ulama, they have decided not to cast off the peace and harmony that being a Muslim means.

Editorial from the Manila Times (Sep 30): The Moderate Muslims of the Philippines
It’s such a great source of consolation and pride for us to be reminded in this issue’s special report that there was a Filipino Muslim leader named Taha Basman. He was the chairman of the Philippine Islamic Council and Center for Moderate Muslims (CMM). He always championed peace and harmony among Christians and Muslims and condemned the war in Mindanao. He said, “Violence would lead mankind nowhere.”

From the Manila Times (Sep 30): Why Muslim Filipinos stay calm
....Aleem Said Ahmad Basher, who has the distinction of being one of the few Muslim Filipinos who have graduated from Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, told this writer the biggest single reason why here in the Philippines there has been no outbreak of violence related to the anti-Islam movie “The Innocence of Muslims.” He said this reason is the different character of the Muslim Filipinos in comparison to their brethren in the Middle East....“There are more moderate Muslims [than extremists] in the Philippines and most of all there are many Muslim Filipinos who are Islamic-minded people,” Aleem Basher said. He stressed that “Islamic-minded” means peaceable. “Contrary to the perception, Muslim Filipinos are actually peace-minded people and they are not trouble makers but peacemakers and that is in accordance with the teachings of Islam,” he emphasized. Aleem Basher, who is also the chairman of the Imam Council of the Philippines, Inc. (ICPI), is one of the most influential clerics and imams who issued calls over national television and major radio stations in Manila against holding anti-US demonstrations in reaction to the outrageous film. He made the call because of it was perceived that radical infiltrators might join the demonstrators and ignite trouble.
