MANILA - The Philippine government and Muslim rebels have agreed a peace deal to end a 40-year conflict that has killed more than 120,000 people, President Benigno Aquino said on Sunday, paving the way for a political and economic revival of the country’s troubled south.
The agreement sets in train a roadmap to create a new Bangsamoro autonomous region in Muslim-dominated areas of the south of the mainly Roman Catholic country before the end of Aquino’s term in 2016. Bangsamoro refers to Muslim and non-Islamic minority people in the southern Philippines.
Re: Philippines, Muslim rebels agree landmark deal to end 40-year conflict.
Why do Phillipino Muslims need their own country? Should the same apply to minorities in Muslim countries?
Because they want to live by islam as much as possible just like majority of muslims in the world who want the same but due to circumstances at moment not possible.
In your second point there are muslim countries but they are secular if you study their constitutions there is no islamic state in the world today this why we get clash in muslim countries between secular rulers and the people.
