The Catholic politicians in the Philippines nullified an agreement that was about to be signed, because they simply cannot bare to see the formation of an Islamic State in their backyard.
A leader of the Moro Mujahideen announced that he and the rest of the mujahideen will exert their entire ability to carry out Jihad against the Philippines until shaheed (martyrdom) comes calling.
Abdurrahman Macapaar, who is known as Commandant Bravo, scoffed at the Philippines Military’s ability and stated that his forces are ready to wage jihad against them at any time.
“We have prepared ourselves and the spirit of Jihad have been inflamed, until the enemy forces are destroyed. If they could not finish us, then know that we would be the one to finish them off,” Bravo said in one of the radio stations in Mindanao. “We are ready to kill or get martyred,” he went on.
He said that the attack on last Monday in the Province of Lanao del Norte and the preliminary round which killed at least 38 enemy soldiers were carried out by the mujahideen who were “angered” by the efforts of the kafir politicians to abort the territorial agreement proposed for them by the Filipino government.
“What the muslim community wanted here is justice in Mindanao,” Bravo said regarding the territories in the Southern Philippines which the MILF had disputed since 1978.
"In the sight of Allah we are not terrorists," he continued as a reaction to the accusations by some Filipino officials.
Bravo is one of the seniors in the MILF who leads a huge forces in the mountainous district of Lanao, Mindanao.
Bravo and another leader in the MILF, Umbra Kato, are 'seasoned' and tough leaders who had frequently led attacks in the Philippines and they are always refusing to conciliate.
Kato, after a battle, managed to capture 20 villages in another province in Mindanao last week.
The Military claimed that Kato was wounded in a battle last Tuesday.
The Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno, offered 10 million pesos or 222,000 US dollars to whoever could give information regarding the location of these two men.
Meanwhile, the fighting have begun to spread to other provinces in Mindanao, the Philippines military reported, and a battle with the MILF fighters in the town of Shariff Aguak have wounded one of their soldiers.
