Summary
While divisions grew at the center of politics between old and new guard, traditionalist and reformist, or political versus theological, a different split emerged regionally. Although Masjumi intended to be the sole representative of Islamic interests in the political sphere, its growth across the archipelago was not entirely smooth. Where it was unable to spread because of wartime conditions, or where Masjumi leaders engendered hostility from other Islamic leaders, other groups soon emerged. These groups reflect not only the regional diversity of Indonesia but also the inability of certain regions to communicate with one another and coordinate their programs throughout the revolution.
