Through theDewan, they sought to advance their political-religious agendas. Dewan leadersrema<strong>in</strong>ed highly critical of Suharto <strong>and</strong> the military until the advent of the state-<strong>Islam</strong>ic accommodation <strong>in</strong> the late-1980s.39.

The co-option by Golkar of ‘extreme’Muslim groups is not a development result<strong>in</strong>g from Suharto’s recent post-1988courtship of <strong>Islam</strong>. Such efforts date back to the pre-1971 election campaign period(e.g., the amalgamation of the Muslim sect Darul Hadiths <strong>in</strong>to Golkar just prior tothe general election).46.

Alamsjah Ratu Prawiranegara admitted that, dur<strong>in</strong>g the early New Orderperiod, state <strong>in</strong>telligence services did not wholly trust the Department of Religion.Cont<strong>in</strong>ued monitor<strong>in</strong>g of the Department appears to have rema<strong>in</strong>ed a task of<strong>in</strong>telligence services through to the late-1990s.47.

Women are seen as the
