Among the leadership of the Katip Sumat uprising, fragile began growing.[26] A leader of the movement, awal Ja Thak Wa–a moderate Cham Shi'a Bani cleric–protested against the radical zealot faction of katip Sumat. Cham documents assert that disputes between Ja Thak Wa and Sumat were related to critics of Sumat's snatching of the national liberation movement and turned it into his own campaign to spread Islam and establish an Islamic state in Vietnam while Ja Thak Wa's goals were to reestablish the Cham state along with Hindu-Bani traditions.[27] Sumat turned against and maneuvered to expel Ja Thak Wa out of the movement by appealing the Hue court to arrest Ja Thak Wa.
