Islamic clerics oppose Estrada reelection bid
Islamic clerics have called on Filipino Muslims not to support former President Joseph Estrada’s bid to return to power in elections in May.
The separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front said on its website today that the Bangsamoro Supreme Council of Ulama had studied Mr Estrada’s actions and policies before and after his election and had issued a fatwa, or religious edict, concluding that “he is really an enemy of Islam”.
