My understanding after checking out some online materials: The Dutch wanted to keep the Western New Guinea (Papua) under their control, Indonesia being the nearest powerful neighbor of Papua wanted to integrate them (like India did with Kashmir and some other small kingdoms right after their independence from the British). USA supported Indonesia to keep them from becoming Soviet allies. Would’ve happened the same way even if Indonesia was a Christian or any other religion-majority. This is not about Islam. It’s about a colonial power (the Dutch) losing out to another nation (Indonesia) due to the 2nd nation’s importance to a superpower (USA) during the cold war. You should blame the Dutch and USA for screwing the Papua people for their own selfish agenda.
