Moderation and Radicalism in Moro Land

By

Recipient, East West Center Population Policy Research and

Communications Program Fellowship

& Nawal Naissana Sampaco

Fellow, Asia Pacific Leadership Program, East-West Center

ABOUT THE LECTURE:
This research is a preliminary inquiry into the factors affecting moderation and radicalism in Muslim Mindanao. Despite the long-running Bangsamoro conflict, Muslims Mindanao is still considered a moderate community. However, the presence of radical movements operating in Mindanao presents an alarming concern. Radicalism or religiously legitimated use of violence is viewed critically, as it is claimed to provide the “right thinking” and so called “one’s right” to use violence against others. This study intends to explore the following issues and research questions: 1) How strong are the radical elements currently operating in “Moro land”? 2) How effective are the efforts conducted to arrest the growth of radicalism in the Philippines? 3) How do they threaten the Muslim Filipinos’ moderate way of life? Pertinent historical data and current reports are examined in the context of the Bangsamoro struggle and within the framework of the Philippine counter-terrorism campaign.
