impian yang tidak terlaksana adalah impian yang terpenjara oleh musuh nombor satu "takut gagal".
Bangsamoro amat sinonim dengan muslim mindanao, kerana ianya bukan sahaja menjadi tagline bagi muslim mindanao , malah Bangsamoro adalah satu nama yang membawa kepada perpaduan bangsa-bangsa muslim yang ada di selatan filipina.
Bangsamoro adalah gabungan dua ayat, "bangsa" dan "moro". Perkataan "moro" datangnya dari perkataan "moor", yang mana adalah nama bagi bangsa di negara magribi. Penduduk muslim mindanao di beri gelaran tersebut oleh pihak sepanyol, semasa era kehadiran mereka untuk menakluk dan menyebarkan kristian kepada penduduk muslim mindanao. Di mana, pada era tersebut, muslim mindanao berperang dengan pihak sepanyol dan di sebabkan keberanian dan semangat perjuangan yang tinggi di tunjukkan oleh penduduk muslim mindanao menentang pihak penjajah, maka, pihak sepanyol memberi gelaran sebagai bangsamoro, yang kononnya semangat dan keberanian penduduk muslim mindanao mempunyai persamaan dengan apa yang pernah di tunjukkan oleh orang-orang di negara magribi, semasa berdepan ancaman pihak sepanyol, pada masa dahulu.
Semangat dan keberanian yang di miliki oleh bangsamoro bukan sekadar ditunjukkan di dalam kancah peperangan , malah juga dalam segala bidang yang mereka kendalikan baik politik, akademik, ekonomi dan lain-lain lagi. Tidak di nafikan lagi kejayaan bangsamoro ini di tanahair mereka, meskipun di pentas dunia.
Persoalannya, kemana hendak di salurkan kecerdikan dan kemahiran mereka ini?
adakah ianya memadai bagi bangsamoro berbangga kepada pencapaian mereka setakat ini?, sedangkan kepandaian mereka itu hanya di gunakan oleh orang-orang luar, atau kepandaian mereka ini hanyalah di gunakan untuk mencari kelangsungan hidup semata-mata.
mungkinkah dengan menyumbang kecerdikan dan tenaga mereka ke negara luar sudah memberi kepuasan kepada mereka ini?, Sebenarnya,kepuasan yang sebenar belum dapat di rasai lagi. Bangsanya saja yang berjaya, akan tetapi tanahair bangsamoro ini masih di takuk lama.
pedih mendengar kenyataan ini , tapi inilah hakikatnya yang bangsamoro terpaksa akui.
Bangunlah cendiakawan dan pejuang bangsamoro. Berhentilah memuji dan menerima pujian yang hanya melalaikan kita .Pelayaran bangsamoro menuju masa hadapan masih tidak jelas lagi. Kendalikanlah sebaik mungkin.
bak kata seorang ilmuan islam "tiada orang yang layak memberi semangat dan motivasi kepada diri sendiri melainkan diri anda sendiri ".
Akhir sekali, suka saya katakan buktikanlah yang kita (bangsamoro) adalah salah satu bangsa yang boleh pergi jauh sejajar dengan bangsa-bangsa yang lain dan buktikanlah juga kita adalah bangsa yang berdaulat , berkarisma dan berkeinginan untuk di ketengahkan sebagai bangsa yang terulung di pentas dunia INSYALLAH.
Bangsamoro
is synonymous with Muslim Mindanao, as it is not only a tagline for
muslim mindanao, Bangsamoro is even a name that brings unity to the
Muslim nations in the southern Philippines.
Bangsamoro is the combination of two sentences, "race" and "moro". The word "moro" comes from the word "Moor", which is the name of the Moroccan people in the country. Muslim population in Mindanao gave the title by the Spanish, during the era of their presence to conquer and spread Christianity to the Muslim population of Mindanao. Where, in that era, Muslim Mindanao fighting with the spanish and due to the courage and fighting spirit shown by the high population of Muslims in Mindanao against the colonial authorities, then, the spanish gave the title as Bangsamoro, the so-called spirit and courage of the population Muslim Mindanao has similarities with what was in the show by those in the Moroccan nation, while facing the threat of spain, in the past.

Spirit
and the courage by which the Bangsamoro have shown not just in the
midst of war, but also in all areas that they control both political,
academic, economic and others. Not deny the success of the Bangsamoro in their homeland, even on the world stage.
The question is, where to transfer the skills and intelligence they are?
whether it is adequate for the Bangsamoro to proud of their achievements so far?, while their brilliance is only used by those outside, or their brilliance is only used to search for survival alone.
Is it possible to contribute their energy and intelligence to foreign countries have been giving them this satisfaction?, Actually, the real satisfaction can not feel more at. Recently a successful nation, but Bangsamoro homeland is still in the old notch.
painful to hear this statement, but this is the fact that the Bangsamoro have to admit.
Arise Scholar and Bangsamoro fighters. Stop praising and receive only praise for our reckless. Cruises Bangsamoro toward future still unclear again. Control as possible.
like what scholar of Islam said, "there is no person qualified to give the spirit and motivation to yourself but yourself".
Finally, I would like to say buktikanlah that we (Bangsamoro) is one of the nation that can go far in line with nations other and buktikanlah also we are a sovereign nation, charismatic and desire for let them know us such as the nation's premier on the world stage Insyallah .

UMO atau united moro overseas adalah satu pertubuhan yang dianggotai oleh orang-orang bangsamoro bagi menyatukan orang-orang bangsamoro dalam dan luar negara. Terbentuknya UMO adalah hasil inisiatif pejuang-pejuang kemerdekaan muslim mindanao atau pejuang jihad kemerdekaan dalam istilah Islamnya, yang tidak berhenti-henti memikirkan hal-ehwal serta kebajikan nasib sebangsa yang masih di belenggu oleh peperangan yang terhasil dari awal perjuangan bengsamoro tiga abad yang lalu sewaktu bersama MNLF.
Umo or moro united overseas is an organization which comprises of the Bangsamoro people to unite in the Bangsamoro people and other countries. Umo formation is the result of initiatives heroes muslim mindanao independence or freedom fighters in the jihad Islamnya term, which will never stop thinking about the affairs and welfare of the fate of a type that is still in fetters by the war that results from early struggles bengsamoro three centuries ago during the joint MNLF.
persoalan yang menjadi pencetus tertubuhnya UMO: concern that the establishment of starter Umo:
- Tercetusnya perang bangsamoro atas dasar JIHAD menuntut kemerdekaan, Selepas sekian lama apakah ada keberhasilan pengorbanan bangsamoro itu?
- Outbreak of war on the basis JUDICIAL Bangsamoro independence, after a long time whether the success of the Bangsamoro sacrifice?
- Estimated 300.000 thousand people were killed in the war Bangsamoro Muslim Mindanao from the early struggle until now, What have wasted their only sacrifice only with "peace agreement" that the government submit to the Bangsamoro? How many sheets of paper "peace agreement" signed the necessary Bangsamoro again? Dianggarkan seramai 300,000 ribu warga bangsamoro terkorban dalam peperangan muslim mindanao bermula dari awal perjuangan sehingga kini, Apakah perlu disia-siakan sahaja pengorbanan mereka hanya dengan "perjanjian damai" yang pihak kerajaan kemukakan kepada bangsamoro? Dan berapa banyak helaian kertas "perjanjian damai" yang akan bangsamoro tandatangani lagi?
- Rasa kesal dan sedih akan tindak- tanduk pihak kerajaan filipina, yang mana rasanya di luar peradaban manusia, sepertimana yang berlaku pada 20th September 2009 bersamaan 1 syawal 1430 H yang lalu, warga bangsamoro di kepulauan JOLO, SULU di bedil dan di serang oleh pihak kerajaan, tatkala umat islam sedunia menyambut hari raya aidilfitri. wajarkah, serangan tersebut di lancarkan? perjanjian damai begitu, yang bangsamoro harapkan ?
- Feeling frustrated and sad actions will the government philippines, which it seems outside the human civilization, as happened on 20th September 2009 equivalent to 1 Syawal 1430 H ago, the Bangsamoro people on the island of Jolo, Sulu in the stock and the attack by the government , when Muslims worldwide celebrate Eid ul-Fitr. How usual, the attack was launched on? so peace agreement, the Bangsamoro expect?

TAUSUG HISTORY
The Tausūg or Suluk people are an ethnic group of Sulu, the Island country of Southeast Asia, (politically part of the Philippines after it was illegally annexed in 1946) and Malaysia. The term Tausūg was derived from two words tau and sūg (or suluk) meaning "people of the current", referring to their homelands in the Sulu Archipelago. Sūg and suluk both mean the same thing, with the former being the phonetic evolution in Sulu of the latter (the L being dropped and thus the two short U's merging into one long U). The Tausūg people in Sabah refer to themselves as Tausūg but refers to their race as Suluk as documented in official documents such as birth certificates in Sabah, Malaysia. The Tausūg are part of the wider political identity of Muslim of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan known as Moro ethnic group, who constitute the third largest Ethnic groups of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan. They originally had an independent state known as the Sulu Sultanate, which once exercised sovereignty over the present day provinces of Basilan, Palawan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and the eastern part of the Malaysian state of Sabah (formerly North Borneo).
Area
The Tausūg presently populate the province of Sulu as a majority, and the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, Palawan, Cebu and Manila as minorities. There is a large population of Tausūgs in all parts of Sabah, Malaysia, who mainly work as construction laborers with a substantial number as skilled workers. The Tausūg workers tend to be confused with the more numerous Bajau workers in Sabah that are less skilled.
In Sabah, there are groups of Tausūg that had settled in the areas to the east of Sabah, from Kudat town to the north, to Sempurna, to the south east, since the Sulu Sultanate rule over the eastern part of Sabah. However most had interbred with other races in Sabah, especially the Bajaus, that what remained is only their Suluk race as documented in birth certificates.
The etymology of the conjugated word "Tausug" comes from the word "Tau" which means man and "Sug" which means current. Basically, they are the people of the current. suluq-is a name of one place in libya,suluq means a spiritual pathway in libyan arabic.
Demographics
The Tausūg currently number about 953,000 in the Philippines. The Tausug language is called "Sinug" with "Bahasa" to mean Language. The Tausug language is related to Bicol, Tagalog and Visayan languages (being especially closely related to the Butuanon language of northeastern Mindanao, sharing many common words. The Tausūg however do not consider themselves as Visayan, using the term only to refer to Christian Bisaya-language speakers, given that the vast majority of Tausūgs are Muslims. In Malaysia, they number around 300,000. The recent migrants also speak Chavacano or another Visayan language - Cebuano - , and Tagalog in the Philippines; Malay in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia; and English in both Malaysia and Philippines as second languages.
Malaysian Tausūg, descendants of those resident when the Sulu Sultanate ruled the eastern part of Sabah, speak or understand the Sabahan dialect of Suluk, Bahasa Malaysia, and some English or Simunul, and those who are in contact with Bajau, those Bajau dialects. By the year 2000, most of the Tausūg children in Sabah, especially in towns of the west side of Sabah, were no longer speaking Tausūg; instead they speak the Sabahan dialect of Malay and English.
Culture
Tausūgs are experienced sailors and are known for their colorful boats or vintas. They are also superb warriors and craftsmen. They are also famous for the Pangalay dance (also known as Daling-Daling in Sabah), in which female dancers wear artificial elongated fingernails made from brass or silver known as janggay, and perform motions based on the Vidhyadhari (Bahasa Sūg: Bidadali) of pre-Islamic Buddhist legend.
