Did you ever heard the ISLAM in the Philippines. In 1380 Karim ul' Makhdum the first Arabian trader reached the Sulu Archipelago and Jolo in the Philippines and through trade throughout the island established Islam in the country. In 1390 the Minangkabau's Prince Rajah Baguinda and his followers preached Islam on the islands.
Could you imagine 490 years ago until now the Muslim in the Philippines specially in southern part of the country Mindanao are they fighting of their FREEDOM for 490 years. If you look the Afghanistan it's around 10 years, Palestine 60 years.
To realize how the animists of Philippines initially resisted the Islamic Holy Warriors from 1380 onwards and how later they managed to remain a Christian island atop a Muslim Archipelago by fighting off the Muslim incursions of the Moros from Mindanao in the Southern Philippines.
