The Philippines witnessed an Islamic renaissance in the post-independence era and this revival was sponsored by the Union of Filipino Muslims. The Union organized three conferences to discuss the affairs of Muslim Filipinos, which were attended by representatives from most of the Muslim countries. The efforts of this renaissance started to bear fruits and at the same time fueled the crusading spirit.
The Crusaders began devising plots against Muslims and resorted to the “divide and conquer” policy. They usurped lands and established a Christian gang, which was named “Rats”. It was founded by the very president of the Philippines! Their mission was to attack and torture Muslims and kill as many of them as possible. Their objective was to force Muslims to flee from their lands so that this Christian gang would seize these lands. Another organization was founded under the name “The Octopus” with the same mission and objective.
The Christians fabricated excuses to attack the Muslim Filipinos. They demanded the application of civil law on Muslims; this way Christians could marry Muslim women. Muslims rejected the application of civil law and this was the reason for the confiscation of their lands and their property being seized. Consequently, the unjust situation drove the Muslims to fight the Christians unprepared.
The Christian attacks started from the north and they began confiscating specific and chosen pieces of land. The Philippine authorities registered these usurped lands in the names of the usurpers, though they refused to register them under the names of their legitimate owners among the Muslim Filipinos before!
The Christians obtained legal titles to already occupied lands thus ‘legally’ dispossessing the original Moro owners who were termed “squatters” on their own lands! Thus, the terrorism began with the unfair confiscation of territories, assassinations, burning farms, abduction, poisoning the wells of drinking water, killing animals, and rape. As a result, sixty thousand Muslim families were made homeless and landless. They sought refuge in the forests and mountains.
A war of mass extermination began. They sometimes gathered young people in alleged training camps and annihilated them brutally. At other times; they would exterminate people in the mosques during Friday prayers, or they would conduct raids on the cities and places of work, killing people in markets and crowded gathering places.
