While the following articles speak of Islam and Muslims in the Philippines, they do offer a modest contribution to broader debates and issues on Islam and Southeast Asia; Muslim-Christian relations; the nation state; ethnic integration or separation; Islam and colonial society, etc.
More significantly perhaps, these articles provide an illuminating historical, if not theoretical backdrop to the ongoing negotiations between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which (will) have a huge political, social, cultural, and economic impact on Mindanao and Philippine politics as a whole.
