Although the official purpose of the legation was to facilitate the flow of pilgrims from the Dutch Indies, another less official task was to observe and document the social and political climate in Jiddah and Makkah.
In 1857, two decades before the invention of the phonograph (and the year Snouck Hurgronje was born), French physicist Leon Scott had developed the "phonautograph." His invention visibly etched the patterns of sound waves onto thin metal foil.
As Gavin dug deeper, his research grew "curiouser and curiouser, and more and more exciting." From the correspondence of Snouck Hurgronje, we know that he was recording speakers of Arabic and Indonesian on Java in Indonesia from as early as 1900 until 1906, when he returned to The Netherlands.

 The Influence of Animism on Islam [CHAPTER VIII PAGAN PRACTICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE PILGRIMAGE]
It is a far cry from the humble Pitts to the princely Badia, from the scientific Burckhardt to the poetical Courtellemont, from the impersonal Hurgronje to the autobiographical Roches, from the obscure Wild to the world-famous Burton.
Snouck Hurgronje and Dozy have given us the theory of the origin of these strange ceremonies in their monographs.
Hurgronje concludes that while the general ritual of the pilgrimage is Mohammedan, there are many practices that now are condemned as innovations, which are in reality old Arabian and pagan in their character.

 Indonesia - Islam
Muslim critics of the regime in the early 1990s claimed that the government policy toward Islam was "colonial" in that it was putting in place in modern Indonesia the advice of the Dutch scholar and adviser to the Netherlands Indies government, Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje.
As an adviser between 1891 and 1904, Snouck Hurgronje advocated tolerating the spiritual aspects of Islam but containing rigorously Islam's political expression.
The goal was the same in the colonial period and during the presidencies of both Sukarno and Suharto: to see to it that the business of government and administration remained a secular one.

According to the critique of Snouck Hurgronje, a well-known expert on Aceh in the 1900s, Tgk Daud Beureueh succeeded in making social role differences into a basis of ideological rivalry due to his ability to exploit a gap in the Acehnese leadership.
Understanding Snouck’s advice and his being torn between his feelings as a follower of politik etis and at the same time as a proponent of a “total warfare”, we will perhaps be able to reflect it in the ambivalence in today’s handling of Aceh.
Snouck’s name became known among the academicians when, for the sake of service to anthropology, he risked his life by sneaking into Mecca, which was forbidden to non-Muslims.

The soldier and the scholar united to convince the colonial administration and the home government that armed force must be used to establish Dutch power in every corner of the Indies.

The Dutch colonial civil servants and soldiers who followed Van Heutsz and Snouck Hurgronje came to be known as the 'Atjeh School'.

Hurgronje argued that as long as Indonesians remained Muslim, the colonial relationship could not give way to lasting bonds between the two cultures.
Hurgronje recognized the fact this Islamic movement towards religious reform, if carried to its logical conclusions, had implications for radical social change, perceived by the Dutch as political revolution.
Hurgronje further argued that given the proper amount of “association” with Dutch/Western culture, language, and scientific discovery, educated elites would naturally turn to the West as models, rather than to Islam which he believed offered not progress but a kind of religious medievalism.

 Indonesia - Dutch Expansion in Sumatra
The principal architect of colonial Islamic policy was Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, a scholar of Arabic who had gone to Mecca to study Indonesian pilgrims and served as adviser to the Netherlands Indies government from 1891 to 1904.
His policy was one of cooptation rather than opposition: instead of promoting the spread of Christianity, he suggested, the government should maintain supportive relations with established Islamic authorities such as the qadi or judges of the royal courts.
"Established" Islam was no threat, according to Snouck Hurgronje, but "fanatic" Muslim teachers who maintained independent Islamic schools were.
