During Soganub 's early years of service in Marawi as a priest , Muslims were suspicious of the Prelature of Marawi 's attempts to establish a dialogue between Muslims and Christians . According to Bishop dela Peña , when the September 11 attacks occurred in the United States , there was a greater need for Muslims to assert Islam as a " religion of peace " and said that this need is an opportunity for Muslims and Christians to " work together " . The bishop describe the timing of Soganub 's arrival in Marawi as " just at the right moment "
