Darul-Islam

Darul Islam was an Islamic group in Indonesia that is considered to be more closely related to extremists than to Jemaah Islamiyah. It was started in 1942 by a group of Muslim militias, coordinated by a charismatic radical Muslim politician, Kartosuwiryo. The group recognised no legislation but the Shari'a. Rebellious movements in provinces such as Aceh and South Sulawesi joined the Darul Islam Movement. The movement was an alternative government to the Republic until 1962, when the leaders were captured or killed. Image File history File links Darul-Islam. ...

However, despite the group being dismantled, underground networks may have persisted. In the 1970s and 1980s, there were occurrences of 'Islamic' terrorism attributed to a group known as Komando Jihad. The leaders arrested from this group were found to be Darul Islam veterans.

Contrary with public opinion about Darul Islam, former participants say that all terrorist acts were committed by the Republic of Indonesia. They claim that Darul Islam would have made their responsibility clear if they were to have attacked Republic of Indonesia territory. Darul Islam participants feel that they have right to claim the teritory that wasncolonized by the Republic of Indonesia. According to an inside opinion, komando jihad, known as qiyadatul jihad, is a product of Republic of Indonesia itself.
