While not all groups make the shift to terrorism, there are inherent forces within the radical group that influence the course of action undertaken by groups. The study examines 10 radical groups in Indonesia and explores the question: How do ideology, leadership and group dynamics play a significant role in the radical groups in Indonesia? The study explored groups within a broad cross-section of terrorist and extremist groups that have either been in operation or are currently in operation in Indonesia The groups examined were Lashkar Jihad (LJ), Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), Darul Islam (DI), Front Pembela Islam (FPI), Negara Islam Indonesia (NII), Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HT), Majelis Mujahideen Indonesia (MMI), Jamaah Anshorut Tauhid (JAT), Al Qaeda Indonesia (AI) and Mujahideen Indonesia Timur (MIT). The study highlights that groups are able to sustain themselves on the path of terrorism if there is a unique confluence of a politicised ideology, presence of influential leadership and group dynamics. Based on 124 interviews and questionnaires of terrorist and extremist leadership and cadre, the study sheds light on unique dynamics within these groups in Indonesia. In an examination of the 10 radical groups, this study shows that the very factors that often influences the radicalisation of individuals on the pathway of terrorism – ideology, charismatic leadership and community affiliation through group dynamics also in turn influence the course of action of groups as a whole. DEDICATION To my family whom I have been dearly blessed with; my parents, Jerard and Janet and my brother Joshua, Thank you for allowing me to chase my dreams unencumbered. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS “For God, For Family, For Country” Author’s Interview with a Member of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Erbil, Iraq, 2009 It is indeed a discomforting realisation that in so many ways we are similar and in so many ways infinitely different from the subject of our exploration. For at the heart of some, is so deep a desire for a better tomorrow and world that is at peace, that every waking moment is dedicated to the creation of change. The path of peace and that of violence is but a fork in the road, often a choice with cascading implications undertaken with but a fleeting dream of a better tomorrow. In November 2009, I had the privilege of meeting with Professor Paul Wilkinson - an inspirational intellectual titan and a true visionary in the field of terrorism studies. After my presentation at a Workshop on Homeland Security Organisation in Defence Against Terrorism organised by NATO Centre of Excellence - Defence Against Terrorism (COED-DAT) Professor Wilkinson pulled me aside and asked me to think about pursuing my post-graduate degree at the University of St. Andrews. I remember telling him then that a post-graduate degree was not something that I had thought about at that time. He reminded me to follow my heart and that things would fall into place. When we parted ways after the course he gently reminded me once again - Don’t forget St. Andrews. I promised him then that I would think about furthering my studies. Unfortunately by the time I eventually got around and enrolled into the University of St. Andrews, Professor Wilkinson had passed on, approximately a month before I matriculated. I will continue to cherish the thought-provoking discussions and the lessons he had briefly shared during those few days. He was an icon in the field and man whose ideas will continue to influence the intellectual pursuit of scholars in this field for generations to come - just as he has (probably unbeknown to him through his gentle and spirited ways) influenced mine and my journey to this University. This journey has been a process that concomitantly amalgamates intellectual pursuit with a truly personal passage of self-discovery. It has been a journey that has reminded me of the people, who have inspired me and have tirelessly supported me along the way. To the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore and especially Professor Rohan Gunaratna, Head of International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research I am grateful for the continued support in making this journey possible. Very special thanks to my supervisors Dr. Peter Lehr and Dr. Robert Lambert who gave me clear direction and guidance through the fog of intellectual confusion. To treasured friends like Mr. Salim Mohamed Nasir, thank you for reminding me that the quest for intellectual pursuit must continue unyieldingly even in the depths of self- doubt and uncertainty. Through this journey, I am privileged and honoured to have met many men and women who have dedicated their lives in tireless sacrifice and service to their countries and to humanity. To Mr. Loh, Inspector General Pol. Dr. Tito Karnavian, Brigadier General. Pol. Dr. Mohammad Syafii and General (Purn) Dr. A. M. Hendropriyono, I owe my heartfelt gratitude, utmost respect and sincere appreciation.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1. Latar Belakang Penelitian Indonesia merupakan bangsa yang kaya akan budaya, dari Sabang sampai Merauke terhampar ragam suku, bahasa dan budaya yang berbeda dari yang lainnya. Inilah yang membedakan Indonesia dari bangsa lain sehingga menjadikan Indonesia sangat kaya akan keragaman, dan secara tidak langsung ini menjadi daya tarik bagi pengunjung dari mancanegara untuk berlibur disini. Budaya menjadi salah satu kebanggaan Indonesia dalam memperlihatkan jati dirinya sebagai negara yang sangat kaya. Akan tetapi dengan banyaknya budaya yang ada dan masuknya budaya luar menjadi dampak buruk kepada generasi penerus, dikarenakan mereka tidak mengenali budayanya dan pengertian terhadap budaya itu sendiri. Budaya merupakan suatu hal yang bisa dijadikan identitas unik dan khas bagi suatu daerah. Budaya adalah suatu cara hidup yang terdapat pada sekelompok manusia, yang berkembang dan diwariskan secara turun-temurun dari generasi ke generasi. Ada pula yang mengartikan bahwa budaya adalah suatu pola hidup yang tumbuh dan berkembang pada sekelompok manusia yang mengatur agar setiap individu mengerti apa yang harus dilakukan, dan untuk mengatur tingkah laku manusia dalam berinteraksi dengan manusia lainnya. 1 2 Secara bahasa, “budaya” berasal dari bahasa Sansekerta, yaitu Buddhayah yang merupakan bentuk jamak dari kata Buddhi dimana artinya adalah segala bentuk hal yang berhubungan dengan budi dan akal manusia. Bentuk lain dari kata “budaya” adalah kultur yang berasal dari bahasa Inggris yaitu culture dan bahasa Latin Cultura. Budaya dapat terbentuk dari banyak aspek yang kompleks dan sangat luas, yang termasuk di dalamnya antara lain agama, kepercayaan, hukum, moral, bahasa, adat istiadat, pakaian, bangunan, karya seni, kebiasaan, dan lain-lain. Kehadiran budaya diyakini akan mampu mempengaruhi pengetahuan dari seseorang, gagasan, ide dan lainnya.

  • Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten
    Religious Specificities in the Early Sultanate of Banten (Western Java, Indonesia) Gabriel Facal Abstract: This article examines the religious specificities of Banten during the early Islamizing of the region. The main characteristics of this process reside in a link between commerce and Muslim networks, a strong cosmopolitism, a variety of the Islam practices, the large number of brotherhoods’ followers and the popularity of esoteric practices. These specificities implicate that the Islamizing of the region was very progressive within period of time and the processes of conversion also generated inter-influence with local religious practices and cosmologies. As a consequence, the widespread assertion that Banten is a bastion of religious orthodoxy and the image the region suffers today as hosting bases of rigorist movements may be nuanced by the variety of the forms that Islam took through history. The dominant media- centered perspective also eludes the fact that cohabitation between religion and ritual initiation still composes the authority structure. This article aims to contribute to the knowledge of this phenomenon. Keywords: Islam, Banten, sultanate, initiation, commerce, cosmopolitism, brotherhoods. 1 Banten is well-known by historians to have been, during the Dutch colonial period at the XIXth century, a region where the observance of religious duties, like charity (zakat) and the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj), was stronger than elsewhere in Java1. In the Indonesian popular vision, it is also considered to have been a stronghold against the Dutch occupation, and the Bantenese have the reputation to be rougher than their neighbors, that is the Sundanese. This image is mainly linked to the extended practice of local martial arts (penca) and invulnerability (debus) which are widespread and still transmitted in a number of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

  • Peran Seni Tari Zikir Saman Di Pandeglang, Banten the Role of Dhikir Saman Dance Art in Pandeglang, Banten
    Peran Seni Tari Zikir Saman di Pandeglang, Banten The Role Of Dhikir Saman Dance Art In Pandeglang, Banten Ela Hikmah Hayati dan Rasikin Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam (STAI) Syekh Manshur, Pandeglang-Banten [email protected]; [email protected] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.31291/jlk.v17i1.596 Received: Februari 2019; Accepted: Juni 2019; Published: Juni 2019 Abstract This study discusses one of the dance arts in Pandeglang Banten, namely the Dhikr Saman dance. This dance is one culture that is able to carry Islamic values. The emergence of the Dhikr Saman dance culture is from a tarekat called Samaniyah brought by Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd Karim al-Samman from Aceh in the 18th century, by modifying the teachings of the Khalwiyat, Qadiriyah, Naqsabandiyah and Syadziliyah orders. This study aims to reveal how the role of the Dhikr Saman dance uses the structural functional theory analysis tool proposed by Talcot Parsons. The results of this study reveal that the Dhikr Saman Dance art is able to give a role in spreading Islamic values in the Pandeglang community in the aspects of religion and culture, but after 2009 the Dhikr Saman Dance no longer has an important role in the Society due to more modern thought changes brought by Muhammadiyah, which suggests that Islamic values contained in the Dhikr Saman dance are impure teachings. Key Words: Influence, Islamic Culture, Dhikr Saman, Pandeglang Abstrak Studi ini membahas tentang salah satu seni budaya Tari di Pandeg- lang Banten yaitu tari Zikir Saman. Seni tari ini merupakan salah satu budaya yang mampu membawa nilai-nilai Islam.

Indonesia’s Regional Elections: Ditching the Direct Vote? By Dedi Dinarto SYNOPSIS Indonesia’s newly appointed Minister of Home Affairs has decisively called for a major review of the direct election of regional leaders. While this signals the ministry's growing clout, the institution is likely to involve active military and police officers to fill the impending vacuum in key regional leadership positions from 2022 to 2024. There are challenges ahead. COMMENTARY IN NOVEMBER 2019, the newly appointed Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian sparked a controversy when he proposed a review of the direct election system for regional leaders such as governors and mayors ahead of the 2020 simultaneous regional elections ( Pilkada Serentak ). Tito claimed that the local elections have proven to be a financial burden to the state. The country has also been prone to political instability, such as in Papua, with direct elections. Tito proposed to have regional heads appointed by the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD), or regional parliaments. Despite the support of the most dominant party, the Indonesian Democratic Party – Struggle (PDI-P), in the House of Representatives (DPR) or national parliament, President Joko Widodo (a.k.a.
