legally Sabah is still property of the Sultanate of Sulu. The contact the British had with the Sulat explicitly states that the province wa sonly leased and that ownerships remains in the hands of the Sultan.

Malaysia's occupation is therefore illegal.

Dont give them freedom? They have as much freedom as any filipino! The problem is that they want to create a fascist Islamic state (its funny that they ask for "freedom" lol) in southern Philippines.

@Giles20 they are fighting to get the USA out of the Philipines. The US killed 1 million Philipinos when the US invaded during the US/Philipines war. The Abu is CIA The MILF is freedom fighters.

@iam18yearsold100 i know right? kick all muslims because muslims and christians wont live peacefully with each other side by side. think about hitler's germany he killed jews because they are a threat to german christians, after that germany were a strong economy . what if we just separate muslims in philippines and live a happy life? that could work eh?

@hanesah2010 dude 90 percent are christians, how bout kick 10 % muslims?

[13elsyd13]

we need to separate muslim from christian, this is why we have many violence in the philippines, think about a country where theres no two religion living beside each other its peaceful because they dont worry about each other.
