Muslims sue Brother Eli for libel
SOME 1,000 Muslims gathered yesterday at the Plaza Miranda in Quiapo, Manila to condemn Brother Eliseo Soriano for allegedly insulting and uttering invectives against Muslims in his television show “Ang Dating Daan.”
They filed a libel case against Soriano for his alleged defamatory remarks against Muslims. Soriano allegedly called Muslims killers.
They also sought the help of Philippine embassies abroad to locate Soriano who was believed to be hiding in other country.
“We are appealing to the President to tap the help of the Philippine embassies abroad to help trace Soriano so he could face his case here,” they said.
Muslim groups from Maharlika Village in Taguig and Culiat in Quezon City also joined the rally against the religious leader.
