Darul Islam is an Islamist group in Indonesia whose offshoot waged a terrorism campaign in the 1970s and 1980s. Through 2010 the opening said there were occurrences of 'Islamic' terrorism attributed to a group known as Komando Jihad. Today the opening describes the group's 1942 founding and its goal of imposing Shari'a law, with the Komando Jihad terrorism campaign gone from the opening though terrorism survives four times in the body. A reader today learns the group's founding aims and does not learn from the opening that it produced a terrorism campaign decades later.

The opening as it read in 2010
It was started in 1942 by a group of Muslim militias, coordinated by a charismatic radical Muslim politician, Sekarmadji Maridjan Kartosuwirjo .1The group recognised only Shari'a as a valid source of law.2 The movement has produced splinters and offshoots that range from Jemaah Islamiyah to non-violent religious groups. During the Indonesian National Revolution , Kartosuwirjo founded his own band of freedom fighters in West Java , called Hizbullah and Sabilillah. As a protest toward the Renville Agreement signed by Indonesian leaders in 1948, which ceded West Java to the Dutch , Kartosuwirjo proclaimed "Darul Islam" (meaning Islamic State) in West Java on August 7, 1949. Darul Islam did not disband itself after the transfer of sovereignty in 1949, resulting in a clash with the government of the Indonesian Republic. Rebellious movements in provinces such as South Sulawesi and Aceh joined the Darul Islam Movement in 1951 and 1953, respectively. The Darul Islam in South Sulawesi was led by army deserter Kahar Muzakkar, while in Aceh it was led by Daud Bereueh . The movement flourished in 1950s due to chronic instability within the central government during the Liberal Democracy Era. In 1957, it was estimated that the Darul Islam controlled one-third of West Java and more than 90% of South Sulawesi and Aceh provinces where the government only controlled the cities and towns. The movement had 15,000 armed guerillas operating under the banner of "Tentara Islam Indonesia" (Indonesian Islamic Army). In that year, Darul Islam agents unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate Sukarno by throwing grenades at him during a school function in Cikini, Central Jakarta . Implementation of martial law in 1957, followed by declaration of Guided Democracy by Sukarno in 1959, marked the reversal of fortunes for Darul Islam. Smaller Darul Islam bands operating in Central Java under Amir Fatah was crushed by Colonel Ahmad Yani 's Banteng Raiders in 1954-1957. Darul Islam forces in South Kalimantan under Ibnu Hadjar was forced to surrender in 1959. Amir Fatah was killed in 1954, while Ibnu Hadjar was eventually executed in 1962. Three years of negotiations (1959–1962) led to peace agreement that ends the conflict in Aceh, in which Aceh was restored as autonomous province with special rights for Islamic law. Introduction of effective "fence-of-legs" method of encircling rebel mountain hideouts in 1959 succeeded in breaking the strong rebel grip over West Java 's rural areas. On June 1962, Kartosuwirjo was captured on his hideout of Mount Geber near Garut . In captivity, Kartosuwirjo issued order for all his followers to surrender, after which he was quickly tried and executed. The last Darul Islam band in West Java surrendered on August 1962. Successive military operations also crushed the Darul Islam in South Sulawesi . On February 1965, its leader Kahar Muzakkar was killed in a military ambush in the interior of Southeast Sulawesi province, ending the Darul Islam insurgency in Indonesia. However, despite the group being dismantled, underground networks 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.3
