MOSLEMS FORM OUTLAW STATE

IN WEST JAVA

By Chris Schoffor

TASIKMALAJA, West Java--Netherlands forces for nearly six months, have been quietly struggling to crush on outlaw Moslem state-within-state in West

Java.

In the Goenoeng Sawal district, north of Tarik- mataja, and in the southeast comer of the Dutch- sponsored State of West Java (Negara Pasvendan), a band of ardent Moslems founded their own pure-Islam- sinte. It is called Negara Dar-ul-Islam. It has à Pre- ́sident, nino Cabinet members, and an army of coveral

The Dar-ul-Islára movement has existed in all parts of Java for years. Strong influenco of the kijahls (Musiem religious leaders) upon the population In the area of Tasilimalaja and nearby Tjimas gave it impetus last February.
