Katip Sumat uprising

Katip Sumat uprising (Vietnamese: Phong trào Hồi Giáo của Katip Sumat) was a revolt in 19th century Southern Vietnam. It was led by Cham Muslim leader Katip Sumat. This is the only ever-recorded jihad war involving Vietnam.[2][3][4][1]

Champa was annexed by Vietnam in 1832. In order to eradicate the Cham identity, Chams were forced to adopt Vietnamese customs. The Vietnamese force fed haram lizard and pig meat to Cham Muslims and cow meat to Cham Hindus against their will. It made Chams angry.[5]

In June 1833, Katip Sumat, a Cham Muslim leader who lived in Kelantan, came to Champa, declaring jihad against the Vietnamese. He was defeated in July and fled to Cambodia before escaping to Malaya. Other rebels continued fighting until 1834.[6]

Katip Sumat's failure to gain success contributed to the lack of cooperation between Cham Muslims and Cham Hindus, as the Cham Hindus, afraid of the Vietnamese Government, decided to side with the state against the jihad war, thus led to the Muslim-Hindu antagonism between Chams.[7]
