replies: text: Please be bold and add factual information'.The first step in order to solve a problem, is to understand and study it! Doctors don't spend their time condeming the evil of cancer. Please also don't be biased and understand that there are mature, peace-loving, prodemocracy muslims who also condemn terrorism. We don't want to categorize or typecast them in the wrong way.--Jondel 02:06, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Concerning your last paragraph, I don't think it implies that non-Muslim and pre-Muslim Filipinos found life meaningless and directionless. If it had said, "Islam gave the Filipino Muslims their life meaning and direction", this could mean that pre-Muslim Filipinos had no meaning and direction in their life to begin with (which Islam later gave), while Christian (or other non-Muslim) Filipinos might have lost meaning and direction in their life when they converted to their non-Islamic religions, because the past tense would refer to the Filipinos as one united entity that found meaning and direction as it began to adopt Islam, whereas the present tense would refer to separate individual Muslim Filipinos today, who found meaning and direction with Islam in their life as their children will too someday. However, this is not the case. The statement doesn't offend any particular group in my opinion. Is it not possible that Islam gives Filipino Muslims their life meaning and direction (as opposed to soccer/football or money for example), while Christianity gives Filipino Christians their life meaning and direction? Isn't it just another way of saying that religion is central to their life? (only that it answers the how and why question) The only problem I have with this statement is (like the problem I have with many other statements in Wikipedia) is the data to back up the statement (like survey of Muslim Filipinos who find meaning and direction with Islam in their lives). However, I do agree with the rest of your points. Good job! It all pushes Wikipedia to become more and more neutral and reliable. Salut!Senantiasa (talk) 18:43, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I noticed Muslim Filipino redirects to this page. Would it not be better suited to redirect it to Moro people since that title would refer to the people, not the religion? --Destron Commander (talk) 15:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The Moro group was for those in Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago, I think there should be an infobox and a mosaic for all Filipino Muslims in general. Not even only the Moro groups of the south, but even people like Rajah Sulaiman III, Lapu-Lapu, and even recent converts to Islam like Robin Padilla and Alma Moreno.

message: The fact that "6% of Filipinos are Muslims" is mentioned three times in the intro. Please, fix, this is outrageous.--Adûnâi (talk) 03:15, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: @Adûnâi I noticed this too. I believe the intent was to show the same calculation is from different sources. But the claim should be one statement with multiple references, not simply repeated. So I agree. Well, except for the ridiculous accusation that the repetition is "outrageous".

message: Perhaps more experienced editors can help out with this?
In "THE ROLE OF ISLAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE FILIPINO PEOPLE" by CESAR ADIB MAJUL he proposes that there are essentially six phases when discussing about the History of Islam in the Philippines.
*1. Sultanates and principalities as part of larger Malaysian influence (13th - 15th Century)
*2. The arrival of Western European Imperialism and Colonialization in Malaysia (16th - 17th Century)
*3. Gradual fragmentation of the Malaysian dar-ul-Islam 
*4. The attempt of Sulus at regaining its previous glory
*5. The decline of the Sultanates
*6. Philippine Revolution and American Occupation
Included in his paper is a recommendation of different events and snapshots of history with historical, religious, and cultural importance to the Muslim community in Mindanao. His list is not intended to be comprehensive but can provide a lot of starting points for expanding this page. 
I would also propose having a section dedicated to the modern influence and relevance of Islam in the Philippines as well as it's controversies (written in NPOV of course)
Disclaimer: I am not a Muslim and I am not very knowledgable in its history and culture hence my apprehensiveness at making any changes to this article at the moment  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabaybayin (talk • contribs) 16:18, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

message: Per WP:LEAD, "[t]he lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents" Here I've begun a WP:BOLD reorganization/rewrite of the lead section, merging the first and third paragraph, which contained a historical overview, into a single lead paragraph. The second paragraph contains details that previously separated this historical info into two blocks that (IMO) mostly belong in the Demographics section of the article body, but they need a rewrite and a rethink of the sources cited. I'll continue with bold edits to do that, but I'll do it as a separate step. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 15:05, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Good change. It appears every single lead source is used only in the lead, so much of the lead information could probably be copied into the body. CMD (talk) 15:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It strikes me that many, WP editors tend to edit in the style of news reporting, with the hottest and most attention-grabbing content up front, rather in an encyclopedic style. That broad generalization is probably unfair to more experienced editors, but that's how it strikes me. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 15:39, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
