Moro Islamic Liberation Front - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With the recent issue with Senator Yee, I came across this terrorist group in one of the articles I was reading. My suggestion to this terrorist group is they should change their name if they wish Americans to take them seriously or they will just continue to get something completely different when they Google this groups' initials.

Your welcome, I at first thought the article was a parody when I saw this group's name, then I looked them up to find out they are real.

Yes....quite humorous. Lmao. The Moroland is an ....interesting....place. The Moros are quite the wild bunch. The Datoos (Moro version of a Sultan) have always been colorful hombres'. They were really the first Islamist fanatics that the US had a real confrontation with. And quite the confrontation it was. They were put down, in the end, but not really defeated. They remain a threat, to this day.
This acronym, amusing though it is, does not make me underestimate the Moros. They are a nasty and bloodthirsty bunch. There is nothing they would rather do than hack Infidels to buckets of chum with their trusty Panabas and carry Christian heads home impaled on their Sankils.
This is the most honorable and preferred method for dealing with unbelievers, however they are not above using an AK, or M1 carbine, the latter being widely available in the region, left in profusion by US troops. Having had the misfortune to have seen the aftermath of a couple incidents involving Moros, though I do find these initials quite funny, I won't sell Moro viciousness short because of them.These animals are true believers Personally, I would rather fight the Taliban. Any day.....

Oh I am not saying they aren't a dangerous group, but I did get a good laugh when I came across their name.

It IS funny. If they had a clue how the acronym is going to be used by Americans they would file for a name change.

There were two demographic groups my Filipino father-in-law hated to his dying day the Moros and the Japanese.
