Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) chairman Murad Ebrahim on Tuesday announced his group’s support to the fatwa against violent radicalism in any part of the Bangsamoro region. An MILF statement received by the Inquirer on Tuesday morning said that the Bangsamoro mufti, Sheik Abehuraira Abdulrahman Udasan, declared the fatwa “against the entry and spread of violent radicalism or extremism in any part of the Bangsamoro Homeland.”“The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) fully endorses and supports such edict without fear and reservation,” the statement said. ADVERTISEMENT“The fatwa also states that there is an urgent need to fight violent extremism or radicalism, in compliance with the injunction of the Qur’an and the Prophetic Tradition (Al-Hadith),” it said. This is the strongest condemnation yet from the MILF against the radicalism being spread by the Islamic State (IS)-inspired Maute and Abu Sayyaf groups in the Bangsamoro region.
