Manila - US President Barack Obama has sent a letter to the leader of the main Muslim rebel group in the Philippines, a guerrilla official said Saturday.
The letter to Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman MuradIbrahim was delivered to rebel peace negotiators by Deputy Assistant State Secretary Scot Marciel, according to Muhammad Ameen, chairman of the MILF secretariat. Ameen said Marciel and two other US diplomats met MILF peace negotiators headed by Mohagher Iqbal on November 6. Ameen did not disclose the contents of the letter but said it was a response to a letter Murad sent to Obama after he won the election last year.
September 20,2008: MILF officially declared jihad on Filipino government...
MANILA, Philippines —Religious leaders in Lanao are calling for a jihad (holy war) in fighting "oppressors" against Islam, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) claimed Saturday.
In a statement on its website (www.luwaran.com), the MILF said the calls were made in sermons of religious leaders during Friday congregational prayers.
"Sermons of the religious leaders of Lanao provinces in Friday's congregational prayers called on the Bangsamoro to unite and wage jihad fi sabilillah in fighting the oppressors, religious persecutors and enemies of Islam," it said.
Here's a screen-grab from their official website (they've scrubbed it of most jihad-related content over the last few months)...

For God's sake!
I wonder if Obama's administration is closely affiliated with Louis Farrakhan. Even though the President states he is openly distancing himself from, I remember reading something from another pal of Farrakhan-the cult leader Sun Myung Moon where one of his "peace" groups stated they were behind getting the Filipino government to cave to these terrorists.
And people say Moonies are just a bunch of right-wingers, when you have the Unification Church on the side of the Nation of Islam supporting the current administration.
So Obama likes MILFs. Get in line buddy.

MILF? :-s
Yeah, I thought about including a photo of a real MILF in this post, but the subject matter is too serious for me to make a joke out of it.
But, one can't help but joke about it in the comments section.
mah29001,
I didn't know the Moonies stood with the Nation of Islam on issues like that.
Wow.
Some day, I believe, such actions by religious organizations and even politicians and Presidents, are going to be regarded as treason. Because that is surely what it is.
When one attempts to negotiate with ones enemy one is by definition offering them a better political/legal stature than they previously held (other than that which they took at the point of a gun).
Therefore, negotiating with an organization like MILF is, in fact, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
The enemy is to be crushed. We are at war. We need to destroy our enemy, not negotiate with them over how much power they will have.
Fuck that.
Louis Farrakhan even happily gave thanks to Sun Myung Moon. And Lefties who suggest Moon is some sort of a "Christian" can't figure out that Moon also funded the Million Man March which Farrakhan promoted, and guess who else attended that same march? Our current President just so happen to be there too.
Moonies are only suppose to help alledgely aid the Bush and Reagan families right? Let's also not forget, under Clinton, Clinton allowed a ceremony of the Moons to be crowned as King and Queen. Seriously, he did. It was a sick bi-partisan display of caving to a cult leader and his wife.
No wonder the Moonies are possibly involved in helping the Nation of Islam with this current administration in getting the Filipino government to cave. Cults flock together like birds of a feather.
Here's a link of Farrakhan celebrating close ties with Moon's organization:

This is from his so-called World Friendship Tour which also included a stop in Libya.
Mah,
You said: Moonies are only suppose to help alledgely aid the Bush and Reagan families right?
I say: As far as I know, the Washington Times is owned by Moon. And, it is a very right-leaning paper, right?
Moon sounds like he leans right, but plays both sides, and probably pays both sides as well, and that would explain all the politicians playing ball with him.
What do you think?
