File under: Islamic State

#1 Following World War II Mohammed Natsir, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, along with other Ikhwan, led the Masjumi Party (Consultaive Council of Indonesia Muslims) in the drive for independence. The Netherland ceded sovereignty and the Repbulic of Indonesia was born in 1949. The following year Natsir served as Prime Minister of Indonesia. The Ikhwan then worked openly in the country. It was directly involved in a number of health and education projects and funded Muslim institutions. The Ikhwan was rejected in 1950 when Natsir failed in an effort to have Indonesia named an Islamic Republic.
From that day to this the Indonesia military has been (as Turkey once was) the guardian of an Islamic yet secular state. Thus far it has succeeded in countering the terrorist efforts of various Islamo-Salafist movements.
