Abstract

This article addresses four main questions. The rise of radical Islamic movements in Southeast Asia, the challenge to international security from them, especially from Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the links between JI and the Salafi-jihadi Global Movement. The article suggests first, that the roots of Jemaah Islamiyah can be traced to the ethno-religious struggle in Indonesia in 1950s; and second, that JI is a part of a pan-Southeast Asian jihadi network with strong ties to al Qaeda. At the onset of the XXI century Jemaah Islamiyah had developed a powerful operational capability, culminating in the 2002 Bali bombing. In Indonesia there is little support for such hardline Islamic movements. JI however continues to jeopardize stability in this country because its essential goal to establish an Islamic state resonates with many young Indonesians.
