Muslim-American Relations in the Philippines, 1899–1920

This chapter focuses on the development of American governmental policy towards Muslim Filipinos between the years 1899 and 1920.2 These years are especially important in the general story of Muslim-American relations because they cover the period of direct American administration of Moro-land. During this time Moroland became effectively a part of the Philippine nation and national concept, and it became integrated into the Philippine governmental framework as well. An understanding of the policies pursued and problems encountered in this period yields some important insights with respect to relations between Muslim and Christian Filipinos today. The Americans interpreted Muslim hostility as defiance of United States sovereignty. But the problem was certainly much more complex. The growing number of Americans in Moroland after the Philippine-American War and the multiplication of their activities, brought two quite different cultures into more abrasive contact than had been the case earlier in the military occupation
