FOR American activist Preston Wood, many may view the Mindanao conflict involving the Moro people and the Philippine government as just an internal issue.

But concerns over the growing involvement of the Bush administration in the ongoing peace talks between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Philippine government amid the West's "war on terror" campaign, have reached levels that these have warranted the conflict's inclusion in the agenda of the huge September 24 rally scheduled for September 24 in Los Angeles...

...Wood, a member of Act Now to Stop the War and End Racism (A.N.S.W.E.R) that is organizing the Los Angeles rally next month...

During the weeklong international Muslim-Christian Solidarity conference held at the East Asia Royale Hotel, he heard many accounts of government atrocities in the region.

Amirah Ali Lidasan, secretary general of the Moro Christian people's alliance, one of the organizers of the international solidarity conference, says the US government wants "to boxed" the Moro people into towing the "democratic Islam" concept as "defined by the United States."

"We have become victims of the Islam phobia fostered by the Bush administration," she said during a press conference.

Wood agrees.

Muslims, he says, are targeted and demonized by the Bush administration.

The situation in Mindanao should not escape scrutiny from the American public, just as they are trying to rally people behind their campaign to end US intervention in Venezuela where a left-leaning president is instituting democratic reforms aside from opening up closer ties with the American government arch-enemy in the region, Cuba's Fidel Castro...

Islam has bloody borders, and the Leftists love it!

When you are fighting off Islamic subjugation, there is no such thing as a government atrocity.
You fight to win. No apologies needed.

Moro Islamic Liberation Front = M.I.L.F.

This guy is an anti-American and pro-terrorism and hide in the umbrella of rascism.

I am a naturalized veteran Filipino and this guy is a disgrace to the US.

I wonder if the members have been told what their name means to the rest of the world?

Operation Bojinka (Al Quada's plan to highjack airplanes and fly them into buildings)was plotted in Midanao in 1995, just about the same time that the Salman Pak Highjacking School opened.
