Book description
Since 2003, the subject of Islam and terrorism in Indonesia has
become more important as people and governments continue to struggle to
understand the nature and origins of militancy and how best to respond to
it. How much do we really know? What is really happening in
Indonesia? Is there a regional axis of evil? To what extent is
Jema'ah Islamiyah parochial and to what extent does it reflect wider
regional networks tracing their origins to al Qaeda? In particular,
the history of Islam in Indonesia needs to be understood, and its
relationship with the world of politics. This collection contributes
to a better understanding of Indonesia and of Islam and the relationship of
both to regional and global stability.
