MALAYBALAY CITY (MindaNews/05 May) – The Philippines will not be accepted to the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) as an observer in the near future because the pan-Islamic body has frozen the admission of new observers, a Moro professor today said. The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) sits as an observer in the OIC on behalf of the BangsaMoro. “How Thailand treated the Muslim issue in the south raised awareness among OIC members that having non-Muslim states in its roster of members does not guarantee that Muslim minorities in these countries will be treated well,” he added. Lingga was reacting to a news item today in a national daily which said President Arroyo had gained Egypt’s support for the country’s bid to join the OIC. The same report quoted Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo as having said other OIC members would support the Philippines. “The MNLF will continue to represent the Bangsamoro people in the world body of Muslims, and the MILF will be given bigger participation in the discussion of the Bangsamoro issue,” Lingga said.
