        abstract = {The story of  Omar al-Mukhtar resisting Italian colonisation of  Libya had 
great potential as a rallying point for anti-colonial sentiment in the Indies stirred
up by Islamic politicians under a Pan-Islamic banner. The Dutch colonial
government was quite aware of  the issue?s sensitivity. It forbade newspapers
and Islamic leaders from even mentioning the story of  Omar al-Mukhtar with
the result that the proposed boycotts against Italy could not become widespread.
   
al-Mukhtar becoming a rallying point for those politically active in the struggle
against colonialism. Those that would become Indonesian National Heroes 
            
After Indonesian independence it was national, local identity which dominated
over that of  Islamic martyrdom.
[Kisah perjuangan Omar al-Mukhtar dalam melawan kolonialisasi Italia
menjadi kisah yang menginspirasi gerakan anti-kolonialisme di HindiaBelanda
yang
dimotori oleh kalangan
politisi muslim melalui semboyan

Pan-Islamisme.
Pemerintah
kolonial
Belanda merespon
dengan
hati-hati isu
sensitif
 ini dengan melarang koran dan pemimpin Muslim menceritakan
kisah perjuangan Omar al-Mukhtar. Namun, pelarangan ini tidak cukup
berhasil. Omar al-Mukhtar menjadi inspirator gerakan anti-kolonialisme.
Mereka yang disebut sebagai pahlawan nasional dengan latar belakang muslim
sebenarnya tokoh-tokoh yang dihadirkan dengan nuansa nasional/sekuler. Setelah Indonesia merdeka, identitas lokal-nasional itulah yang kemudian
lebih dominan ketimbang identitas keislaman.]}
