*facepalm*
really? if that's the case then how come indonesia does not become a muslim country in the first place then? heck, why not let the DI/TII take control of the country just for hell of it? the answer is really simple, because they don't.
your logic is that if they're muslim then they MUST support them, as you keep going all dense about. funnily muslims disregards and keep killing other muslims in most places in the world day by day. the only thing it ever happened is when people are stupid enough (heck, they are still backwards) to disregard what's sukarno's been painstakingly achieve during the asia-africa conference. in that case, they've shamed themselves by their own foolishness.
How old are you....? Maybe you will witness more and more conservative Indonesian Muslim in the coming years,
DI/TII is something irrelevant....... It is a rebellion of what our founding father has agreed, and many Islamist leaders are our founding father, even the first National Organisation to fight against Dutch is the Islamist one
Sarekat Islam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Group portrait at a meeting of the SI
Sarekat Islam, formerly Islamists Trade Union (Indonesian:
Sarekat Dagang Islam), was a cooperative of Javanese
batik traders in the
Dutch East Indies and a predecessor of independent
Indonesia. The group was founded by
Haji Samanhudi, a dealer of
batik, in 1905 in
Surakarta[1] or 1912.
[2] Sarekat Dagang Islam, or Union of Islamic Traders, had as its goal the empowerment of local merchants, especially in the batik industry. The establishment of the organization was inspired by the
Jamiat Kheir organization.
As Sarekat Dagang Islam grew, it was reorganized under the name Sarekat Islam. Sarekat Islam's general office was in
Surabaya. Early prominent figures of Sarekat Islam included
H.O.S. Cokroaminoto[2] and
Haji Agus Salim. H.O.S. Cokroaminoto had three famous students, who went on to play a dominant role in Indonesian politics:
Soekarno the nationalist,
Semaun the socialist and Islamist
Kartosuwirjo. Haji Agus Salim joined Sarekat Islam in 1915 and promoted Islamic modernism. Some of Salim's students such as Kasman Singodimedjo,
Mohammad Roem and
Mohammad Natsir later became prominent Islamic and Nationalist leaders.
