Christianity and Islam
Islam in the Philippines Islam is one of the oldest organized religions to be established in the Philippines. Islam reached the islands in the 14th century with the arrival of Indian, Malay and Javanese merchants, and Arab missionaries from various sultanates in the Malay Archipelago, although the spread of Islam in the Philippines is due to the strength of Muslim India. India brought Islam to Southeast Asia, specifically Malaysia and Indonesia, and in turn the latter two brought Islam to the Philippines. Muslims form 5% of the Philippine population, while the rest of the general population are mostly Roman Catholic (84%) and Protestant (8%).
Many people in the Philippines would say that Islam separated the Philippines; that it was the cause of the conflict in Mindanao.But really, it is NOT a religious war, as popularly believed.It is the first foreign religion that touched the Philippines' shore. And it navigated its way into the natives' trade, culture, and society. It provided for commerce to flourish under Arab traders, it gave birth to the modernization (at that time) of culture, and constructed the first political system in the Philippines.The most important thing is that Islam epitomized Philippine Nationalism. When before the Filipinos of the North passively received the culture of Spain and the U.S., now it fought its own against these two colonizers under the influence of Islam. It was Islam that taught the people to uphold the virtue of courage and justice, and with that, they were able to conquer.
