Summary

"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 in Jema'ah Islamiyah parochial and to what extend does it reflect winder 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."--BOOK JACKET.
