This is the Spice Island history according to Indonesia colonizer history, some true, some are notAny foreign journalists who made history in Maluku is tailored to the circumstances in the country's politics that have occurred as of the power of government in Jakarta has been in power since 1950. But when looking at the facts of life from the beginning of real history, the Moluccas did not know who it is Indonesia, which has been classified in the region, and lands in the Moluccas as the name of Indonesia, even human life changes occurred because Islam transmigration system, which has been and is being brought by the government of the Islamic Java / Indonesia to the changes that can occur itself from the system itself. And the "object and purpose" of that, so the government propaganda of Islamic Java / Indonesia has always maintained the true history of the Moluccas, is that it can be played in reverse by them.
There are several little about the state of the history of Maluku, which is currently the Moluccas in the colonial powers of the Government of Java / Indonesia, here we need to look carefully, because the dirty political game or program which is conducted by the Government of Java / Indonesia with the Arabs against Maluku people , and against any nation in the former Dutch colony, where they use religion as a political bridge to dominate a country Islands, or even dominate a country Continent.
1). The flow of the religion of Islam, which starts from the Maluku Islands because the world trade of spices, so that the people of Parsi and Gujarati, which came to buy spices, and while spreading Islam in Maluku.
2). At the time Hongitoten War 1636-1646, the Dutch killed as many as 15,000 people Moluccan Christians, and then after that, the Dutch Government has incorporated Islamic transmigration from Java, Sulawesi (Buton), and Arab genetic mixture of Java.
And after the completion of the "Dutch dominance" in "World War 2", "Japan occupied the Moluccas", and had committed "colonization, in the Moluccas", for "3 years", that is: from "1942 to the year 1945". After "Japan ended", "Dutch go again" to "dominate Maluku" to the "1950", "after the Proclamation RMS (South Maluku Republic) on 25 April 1950", the Dutch "leaving the city of Ambon, Maluku," with "uses" ship "KPM INTAN CITY", and "bring KNIL (Dutch soldiers from Maluku)" located on the island of Java at the time, to "carry" to "the Netherlands" by "the Dutch government," but "the will from "the KNIL (original Dutch troops from Maluku)", that they "want" to "help the military forces of Maluku", which "is the guerrilla, to fight the army of Indonesia" which is in "intervention" to "Moluccas", and the history of it is the "political game" between the two countries: "The Netherlands" and "rule of Islamic Java / Indonesia" in friendship to maintain or dominate natural Maluku., and Indonesian military offensive led by: the first President of Indonesia, namely: "Ir Sukarno," in the incident, that "the Indonesian military assistance" from the "Dutch government" with "heavy weapons equipment", and while the "United Nations" at the time it was returned "silent" about the state of the Moluccas.
From the results of the political games of the rule of Islamic Java / Indonesia on diplomatic relations in politics, which was conducted jointly by the Dutch government at the time, and after the military intervention of Indonesia to the Moluccas, and after the success of the government's Islamic Java / Indonesia to dominate in the country Moluccas, Islam transmigration input massively from 1952 to the present by the government of the Islamic Java / Indonesia based in Jakarta.
Islamization program is done throughout the islands in the former Dutch colony, and to the continent of Australia in accordance with the objectives of the creation of Muhammad's teachings ideology together with colleagues, which I mentioned above as an explanation of the Qur'an, which followed by the government of the Islamic Java / Indonesia through it to their political ideology.
And the Dutch colonization of the system, followed by the administration of Islamic Java / Indonesia, for the sake of political gain Jakarta itself, which is incorporated on the basis of their political ideology as well. http://souisapaul81.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/history-of-world-from-beginning-can-be.html
God bless the Moluccas as the history of the human world.
