Philippine Leader Proposes Autonomous Muslim State To End Rebellion
By CAROL J. WILLIAMS
Philippine President Benigno Aquino III on Wednesday urged lawmakers to swiftly enact a law granting autonomy to the Muslim region of Mindanao to quell more than 40 years of rebellion that has killed at least 150,000 people.
The proposed law is modeled on one that pacified a similar Muslim insurgency in neighboring Indonesia's Aceh province in 2005.

The southern island of Mindanao, its Zamboanga Peninsula and nearby Sulu archipelago have been scenes of violent insurgency among the Moro populations since 1970. An Al Qaeda-affiliated extremist group known as Abu Sayyaf carried out kidnappings, beheadings and bombings in a bloody campaign for a separate Islamic state. The group has been tamped down over the last decade to a few hundred militants. U.S.-trained Filipino troops got the upper hand against the most radical insurgents with the aid of some fighters from more moderate Moro factions.

The world just gets better every day. /s
I believe this is called surrender. This will NOT end anything except a lot more lives.
The shi* will hit the fan, give them an inch and it is over.
Now for a very large wave.
They might want to check with the Israelis as to just how such a plan worked out in the Gaza Strip.
Just saying it has likely touched off another round of violence and they’ll never ever forget the “promise”.
There are times when stomping on heads and killing people really are the only way to calm things down.
Either the Mulims decide to live peacefully, or kick the livin’ snot out of them until they rethink their position.
Israel is in the process of playing this game too, just at present.
They need to use Bacon Diplomacy.
We tried something like that.
Muslims say violence is justifyied against Israel cause they say it stole their land. The Philippines was never muslim ruled so what did the Philippines do to make the muslims angry?
Israel is the only country that punishes muslimes by taking away their lands. Rest of the coward act like dhimmies, bending backwards, trying appease these bearded savages.
The problem with the idea of giving Mindanao to the miscreants is that they resent that infidels inhabit nearby lands and want to eradicate them. They won’t be happy til the world is inhabited by only radical muslims. THEN, they’ll start killing each other for not being radical enough. —>That’s the history of Arabs<—
And he thinks that they will be satisfied with the area given? He is a fool and ought to be removed from office.
The autonomous Muslim state the islamists have in mind is called The Philippines.
This insanity will never end. There are over a billion of these brainwashed evil fools and we don't have a strategy to fight them when the feckless fool on the hill and his predecessor continue to call it a “religion of peace.” Pure blind and willful nonsense!
Islam is expanding because satan / allah commands it. All other ‘reasons’ are just misdirection.
They are taught from the cradle to spread Islam by conquest. Killing them is the only way.
