Islamic Politics Of The Dutch East Indies
What is interesting in this book is his sharp analysis dealing with a concept of neutrality in religion. However, indeed, the colonial government did not want to be neutral in religious matters. Christian people in certain regions and areas were supported by the colonial government for a political reason: to expel Muslims from their areas. It should be noted here that the Dutch interference in the religion of Islam was not merely to imitate the previous local governments, but to precisely hold the control, supervision and, if possible, to give specific direction to the Muslim community. The description about Adviseur voor Inlandsche zaken he explained here is also very interesting. He does not only describe a whole colonial system, but also a meticulous internal differences. In this respect, especially dealing with the ideas of Snouck Hurgronje and Hazeu, Suminto strongly criticizes them, and questions why their efforts finally failed, while in fact they were supported by the colonial government policy.
