There's a terrorist organization called MILF

[Mr Khan]

Yeah...

 

I was reading a Foreign Policy paper for this big research project i'm working on for my International Relations Theory class, when i spotted a word that was pretty low on the list of words i expected to see in the course of my research, MILF. Curious, i tracked it down the page further, and discovered this group: The Moro Islamic Liberation Front

A rather vicious group, operating out of Mindanao in the Philippines. I wonder if anyone's ever told them about the acronym's American English meaning, though i imagine the actual acronym for MILF doesn't quite fit together in Tagalog
