Darul Islam (meaning House of Islam [1]), also known as Darul Islam/Islamic Armed Forces of Indonesia (Indonesian: Darul Islam/Tentara Islam Indonesia, DI/TII) was an Islamist group in Indonesia. They fought for the establishment of an Islamic state of Indonesia.
History[change | change source]
It was established in 1942 by a group of Muslim militias. The group recognised only Shari'a as a valid source of law. The movement has produced splinters and offshoots that range from Jemaah Islamiyah to non-violent religious groups.
