Islam, humanity, and the Indonesian identity :reflections on history

Islam and the making of the nation:Kartosuwiryo and political Islam in twenti…

For decades, scholars of Indonesia have rejected the religious claims of the Darul Islam movement, interpreting the antagonism between the Islamic state and Soekarno’s republic as a fight for power, self-assertion, or land rights.
