I think your last cartoon sums it up. Martial law has given the Indonesian military a golden opportunity for graft and they're afraid a prolonged Western presence might help the locals slip out of their grip and reduce the take.

I don't think this is a Muslim/Christian thing - it's all about maintaining Javanese control over Aceh and preserving their profits.
