Sam,
The MILF do not sanction the activities of the Abu Sayyaf who are more like bandits. The MILF recently made peace with the government (brokered by the organization of Islamic Nations including Libya. Khadafy's son, heir to the "throne" seems to want to be in good graces with America by being helpful to the Philippines). They Muslims were given some Autonomy to rule the Muslim areas. Another separatist group, the MNLF made peace with the government several years ago under then President Ramos.

In short, the Abu Sayyaf who kills and beheads fellow Muslims also are viewed as giving "shame" to the Muslims in the Philippines The MNLF and MILF are both "honorable Muslim groups in war or in peace.
