Another geographical genocide on the move
Editorial
"My
World is growing smaller everyday," so the song goes. Machiavelli's
"Divide and Rule" is the best weapon against the Maranaos. It is
proven in the Arab world and the entire Muslim world
.
Whoever
wants to divide the province of Lanao del Sur into two with the other one to be
called Maranao Province is committing genocide against the Maranaos.
The
Maranao Homeland used to be so wide and vast. Then in the 50s, politicians in
their desire to control powers divided Lanao into two without thinking the
consequence in terms of identity and territory.
After
that the Maranaos living in Lanao del Norte, despite being Maranaos, could no
longer proudly say they come from Ranao for Ranao is exclusively of Lanao del
Sur, their original homeland,which does not include anymore Lanao del Norte
after its division.
And
the people of LanaodelNorte are no longer called Maranaos, and if ever people
call them Maranaos, they are thought of being from Ranao.
By
dividing the Muslim world into small weak countries, the enemies of Islam won
over the once powerful Muslims. This is how peoples are conquered: divide them,
support each with tools and resources to fight one another and you control
them.
And
only those among the Maranaos who want to stay or remain in power want to
divide Lanaodel Sur.
