Indonesia becomes model of world terrorist handling

The infamous Indonesian National Police's Anti Terror Unit - Densus 88

Makassar, South Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - Indonesia now becomes a model of world terrorist handling, the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) Chief Ansyaad Mbai said here on Wednesday.

"In its effort to handle terrorism, Indonesia is consistent in legal supremacy and does not need to use missiles like other countries. Therefore, Indonesia becomes the model world terrorist handling," Ansyaad said during a BNPT discussion with journalists on terrorism.

He said Indonesia was considered successful in handling terrorist without involving a number of large forces like that in other countries.

According to him, the Indonesian counter-terrorism squad Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88) was able to work well in handling terrorism in the country.

"There is a presumption that the work of the police in arresting and hunting terrorists 100 percent violates human rights, but it is natural in accordance with existing law because they are facing with terrorists," Ansyaad noted.

He pointed out that in handling terrorism, Indonesia was admired by many countries because the Densus 88 was able to arrest a number of terrorists.

Ansyaad said that based on existing data, there have been 840 terrorism cases since 2002 in Indonesia.

According to him, Densus 88 was established in 2003 after the 2002 Bali bombings, and ever since it has worked with considerable success against terrorism.

Meanwhile, BNPT first deputy May Gen Agus Surya Bakti said his party would make every effort to fortify the younger generation against the influence of terrorism and radical movement.

"We will knit together the younger generation to combat terrorism and acts of radicalism," Agus said in the discussion.

Besides, chairman of South Sulawesi Terrorist Prevention Coordination Forum (FKPT), Arifin Hamid said the forum was formed to monitor and prevent terrorism and radical movement in the province.

"Our task in FKPT is to monitor and to prevent the movement of terrorism and radicalism in our effort to create a peaceful situation in the province," he noted. (*)

Beside I can vouch that most of those SOB are just joining the Terror Bandwagon & I couldn't blame them the "dreaded" ASG of Philippines has been reduced to mere bandits & kidnappers to fund their terror campaign. The JI of Indonesia has been put under constant surveillance since 09 hotel bombing. Tough time to be a terrorists nowadays.

The answer is not as simple as that, without people support the effort to minimize or eradicate radicalism will futile. You can see on how desperate ISAF trying to suppress radicalism in Afghanistan today although they were killing thousands of extremist for years, Or how American is failing to prevent the collapses of South Vietnam in the hands of Communist although years of brutal war, or how they can't prevent the fall of Kingdom of Campuchea against Khmer rouge in the past, winning the heart and mind is important as important to keep them in check.

They've been active for decades. Extremism didn't start in 2001.

Islamofascist are world big leeches that hope to gain not just material well being over everyone else idly by pleasing God, through murder, rape, honor killing...etc. They believe if they commit evil, then God will bless them not just this life, but 72 virgins after their death.

The main motivation of Islamofascist is greed, jealousy and to stay idle.

Myanmmar has found a way to manhandle these people over so many decades. Once Islamofascist do naughty things, Myanmmese strike them hard. Unfortunately, once Myanmar tries to nudge up to the west, the white man and their petro-dollar ally no long need to be beholden to Myanmar. That is the reason while Rohingya problem exist for so many years, they are being blast out of roof top recently.

There is no such thing as eradicating Islamofascism in every single Muslim countries. Islamic elites are selfish and corrupt who do not want a clever citizen. They try to make their people as stupid as possible. They try to put their women into batman fashion.

Else so many iman are preaching hate openly in madrassah and why are they still walking free? If Islamic country so keen to getting rid of fascism, why not do an Ataturk?

The best way to go after Islamofascist is to get rid of Al Saud family. When the Gulf States go broke, Islamofascist will find all their patron states in deep shitt. The funding in mad madrassah will dry up. Then those idle and wicked murderer wannabe will start to study hard, and work their way to prosperity.

Indonesia must embrace role as ‘leader’ of moderate Islam
Rizvi Shihab - Published: 9 November 2014

One of the many challenges facing the current government is re-establishing Indonesia’s unique geographical, cultural and ideological identities.

Presently, there is a concerted governmental effort to augment Indonesia’s power by introducing its “maritime-axis” foreign policy to fully take advantage of its strategic geographical position.

But in addition to this maritime emphasis, I believe Indonesia needs to start disseminating its ideological character globally as a world ambassador of religious moderation.

Members of the international community often wonder about the silence exhibited by the majority of moderate Muslim countries. This provides opportunity for Indonesia to step up and become the leader of this quiet group.
If the United States is known as the ethnic melting pot, Indonesia should strive to be acknowledged as the religious melting pot where members of all faiths live in tranquil harmony.

Recently, the former foreign minister of Tunisia, Mouldi Kefi commended Indonesia as the only country in the world that celebrates official religious holidays for Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Hindus.

Indonesia is widely reputed as the largest Muslim-majority nation in the world, but it would carry higher meaning if it were also renowned as the center of spiritual acceptance.


Threat of extremism

Interestingly, the recognition came from a Tunisian whose country is also attempting to institute a more accepting form of Islam.

According to a Pew Global Research study, concerns regarding religious extremism amongst Tunisians has sharply risen to 78% in 2014 from 52% in 2012. These trepidations have somewhat decided the recent elections in Tunisia where the secular Nidaa Tounes party was able to secure victory against the Ennahda party, which conceded its failings in monitoring and suppressing radicalism.

Similarly, President Abdelfattah el-Sisi has been an active combatant against the religious extremism in Egypt, which was prevalent after the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011.

Since his election he has de-activated the Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing and labeled it as a terrorist organization. Sisi’s stance on de-radicalisation remains a focal point of his administration and is supported by the majority of Egyptians, who feel his decisive actions have prevented Egypt from falling into the same trap experienced by Iraq and Syria.

During a United Nations speech on September 24, Sisi remarked that “the world has started to grasp the reality and understand why Egyptians revolted against extremism that wanted to break the unity of the nation”.


Peaceful coexistence

A similar problem is faced in Indonesia, where many feel the latest outbreaks of religious intolerance compromise the nation’s national philosophical foundation, Pancasila, which proclaims peaceful coexistence.

Domestically, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Muslim organisation in the world, has been the most active and vocal proponent of religious acceptance.

For example, GP Ansor, NU’s youth wing, patrols churches on Christmas Eve to look out for any imminent terror threats.

This type of activity should not be questioned as it has been by some Indonesians, but must be promoted globally.

Last week Hasyim Muzadi, a senior NU member, along with the International Conference of Islamic Scholars, National Anti-Terrorism Agency and the Foreign Affairs Ministry, held a “Conflicts and Democratization in the Middle East” seminar.

The intellectual gathering opened dialogues between leading religious figures, including Religious Affairs Minister Lukman Hakim Saifuddin and the diplomatic community.

It was attended by Indonesia’s current foreign affairs minister, Retno Marsudi, and her predecessors Hassan Wirajuda and Alwi Shihab. Ambassadors of Middle Eastern countries also attended the two-day seminar.


Active engagement

Considering the experience Egypt and Tunisia have in dealing with religious extremism, it would be advantageous if Indonesia’s foreign ministry formally collaborated with the North African nations to acquire more knowledge and techniques to contain extremism. By effectively tackling the issue of radicalism, Indonesia will then be able to fully realize its ideological character and go on to fill the absence of a significant moderate Islamic voice.

Member states of the European Union are also troubled by this disturbing matter. Germany, France and Britain have all been affected by religious extremism, creating an inaccurate and damaging image of Islam for many of the countries’ inhabitants.

The Italian ambassador to Indonesia, Federico Failla expressed his interest in arranging for renowned Indonesian Muslim scholars to visit Italy and present lectures and seminars to counteract some of the negative perceptions of Islam in that country. It is this negative perception that prompted Bill Maher, a well-known member of the Western media to label Islam as a “mafia religion”.

By re-establishing the quality of religious acceptance, Indonesia will benefit on several fronts, including through tourism, diplomacy and foreign investment.

Islam’s international standing will in a large part be decided by Indonesia, either by its apathy, or active engagement. Indonesia’s leaders must choose the latter option. – Jakarta Globe, November 9, 2014.

Indonesia must not only rehabilitate individuals, but also make sure to destroy terror cells in its territory.

He's the local nutjob on this part of the site. So try not to agree on him on anything.

 

[faisal6309]

All the terrorists organizations are merging themselves with ISIS. TTP is going too. Its the best chance for everyone to destroy them at once. Otherwise, they will come back and you then have prepare for unforeseen consequences.

Other countries who have no problem of terrorism should participate too because once they are done with other countries, they will come for you too.

To be honest, Indonesia is a very scary country to visit.

Corruption, fanaticism, criminality because of poverty...

Fanaticism in my country isn't that bad. They only make probably less than 1%. The 2 largest muslim organisations, have 100+million members between them and totally committed to pluralism and moderate form of Islam.
Except in Aceh province and few other areas we don't apply religious law, unlike malaysia where it's nationwide for example.
Criminality is nowhere as bad as in South Africa or Brazil or India, I think. In my previous work I visited the slum area often and never got into any trouble. Gun control in Indonesia is very strictly enforced.
We're still dealing with the corruption issue, though. But unless you want to start a business, I don't see why corruption is a problem?

World leaders at ASEAN will warn about threat of Islamic State

  World leaders meeting in Myanmar’s capital Naypyitaw will issue a joint warning about the threat that Islamic State militants pose to the world, officials said.
  
  World leaders meeting on Wednesday and Thursday in Myanmar's capital Naypyitaw, including Prime Minister Tony Abbott, will issue a joint warning about the threat that Islamic State militants pose to the world, officials said.
  
  The warning in a joint statement to be made at the East Asia Summit comes amid reports that extremists from Malaysia and Indonesia may have formed a Malay-speaking military unit in Syria. Scores of Muslims from both countries are believed to have joined the Islamic State group this year.
  
  The statement will stress that extremism, radicalism and terrorism must be addressed in a comprehensive manner through a "multifaceted approach" including addressing underlying factors, officials said.
  
  The summit that brings together leaders from Asia and Europe will discuss highly contentious overlapping claims in the South China Sea, although officials say no breakthrough is expected.

  China has been aggressively pursuing its claim to most of the sea through which a third of the world's shipping transits. The region is also believed to have oil and gas beneath its seabed. Other claimants are Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Brunei and Malaysia.
  
  The Naypyitaw gathering, which includes US President Barack Obama, will discuss how Asia, which accounts for 60 per cent of the world's population, is acutely vulnerable to Ebola, the disease which has killed 5000 people in West African nations, officials said.
  
  The gathering has focused world attention on Myanmar, a former pariah state also called Burma, which has come under renewed criticism for its treatment of Rohingya minority Muslims in western Rakhine state.
  
  The country is also seen as having stalled a reform process that was hailed by Western nations two years ago.
  
  US officials said Mr Obama will press Myanmar for more progress on constitutional reform ahead of elections in 2015 that would open the way for opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to run as president. Washington believes Myanmar's reforms have not gone far enough.
  
  Diplomats said the meeting would highlight concerns about a retreat from free speech, human rights and democracy across south-east Asia.
  
  In Thailand following a coup in May, military rulers continue to enforce blanket restrictions on the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Gatherings of more than five people are banned as a centuries-old martial law remains in place across the country.
  
  In Malaysia, authorities are increasingly using a draconian Sedition Act to silence peaceful critics with dozens of people facing charges. Popular opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim is facing years of jail following a relentless campaign of persecution against him and his family.
  
  In Vietnam, authorities have targeted bloggers, throwing dozens into jail, while in neighbouring Cambodia the government of Prime Minister Hun Sen is moving to criminalise and censor online expression, and security forces have shot dead protesting garment workers.
  
  Amnesty International's research director for south-east Asia Rupert Abbott said the region has come a long way in recent decades in its efforts to improve respect for human rights, a change that has helped unleash some of the region's economic potential.
  
  "Yet the restrictions on free speech sweeping across the region are troubling and are only likely to discourage much-needed investment overseas," he said.

I hope that ASEAN, as a collective entity, will take note of this and effectively exterminate all terror cells suspected with links to ISIS.

Burdwan blast: NIA arrests Myanmar national
HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times Kolkata, November 18, 2014

First Published: 11:23 IST(18/11/2014) | Last Updated: 01:08 IST(19/11/2014)

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a Myanmar national allegedly trained by a Pakistani terror group in connection with last month’s Burdwan blast, pointing to an extensive terror network in South Asia, officials said on Tuesday.

Khalid Mohammad, 28, who was held in Hyderabad, was carrying ISIS jihadist literature and was apparently running terror camps along the Myanmar-Bangladesh border, sources said.

“This arrest points at a network which is breeding in West Bengal where jihadis working against Bangladesh and Myanmar government are collaborating,” said an NIA official. “Khalid is a vital link between terror organisations in Bangladesh and Myanmar working from the soil of Bengal and even other parts of the country.”


The October 2 explosion in West Bengal’s Burdwan district, in which two operatives of the militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were killed while making bombs in a house, exposed a widespread web of terror in the state.


The NIA is now likely to investigate whether the explosives being assembled in Burdwan were to be moved to Myanmar where Rohingya Muslims are locked in a bitter fight with parts of the Buddhist-majority population.

Clashes and riots have forced numerous Rohingya Muslims to flee to Bangladesh and from there many have migrated to West Bengal over the past two years, sources said.

Over a hundred such illegal immigrants were arrested by the BSF at the Bengal-Bangladesh border in 2013. Many others were picked up by state police.

An NIA team is in Bangladesh regarding investigations into the Burdwan blast as the case is believed to have wider security ramifications for the two countries.

Khalid is apparently an expert in manufacturing Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) as well as recruitment and was helping the JMB organise terror modules in India, sources said.

“He has admitted to having undergone training conducted by Tehreek-e-Azadi-Arakan with trainers from Tehreek-e-Taliban, Pakistan,” an NIA official said.

He was residing in Hyderabad after faking his identity and was found to be without valid travel documents.

Khalid will be produced in court and is likely to be moved to Kolkata, sources said. He is the ninth person to be arrested in connection with the Burdwan blast.
