Darul Islam (Indonesia)

1949–1962 · 20th century

Darul Islam was an Islamist rebel movement that fought to establish an Islamic State of Indonesia. Its leader Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosuwiryo proclaimed the state in West Java in 1949, and revolts in South Sulawesi, South Kalimantan and Aceh, where Daud Beureueh rose in 1953, joined it. The movement collapsed after Kartosuwiryo was captured and executed in 1962.
