Assalamu Alaikum, Our Muslim Brothers

Ok! The 1935 Constitution unconstitutionally took Mindanao away from the Bangsamoros to form. Thereby, framing the MOA-AD constitutionally is itself a cliche.

It is here that I agree with the Moros.

But what should frame the MOA-AD? Islamic principles? Muslim autonomy?

Probably (and definitely, for our Muslim brothers), yes!

But on what premise are they framing MOA-AD on Islamic principles or Muslim autonomy? Are they up for Islamic state? Name one Islamic state, please. Not even Saudi Arabia or Indonesia or Malaysia is an Islamic state. Why? That is another story I have to recollect from my Muslim brothers and scholars for explaining.

On Muslim autonomy? I think, the government already gave them that. But what happened? The autonomy has made or kept them the poorest and most corrupt
(during elections) in the land.

Why are you,
our Muslim brothers, so desperate to have that MOA-AD signed? Isn't PEACE and COEXISTENCE that Allah strongly preached for?

We could coexist peacefully, just like when Prophet Mohammed, along with other Muslims, migrated and lived with the famous Christian King of Abyssinia.

To quote An-Nisa':128, "reconciliation is the best."
