Indonesia, on the other hand, continuing to view terrorism as a relatively minor problem, despite being the victims of four major bombings and there have been no major demonstration against terrorism in Indonesia. Jemaah Islamiyah, a radical Muslim group derives from the Darul Islam rebellion , a political struggle for an Islamic State of Indonesia in West Java and Southern Sulawesi in the 1950s. Under the leadership of two Indonesian clerics Abdullah Sungkar and Abu Bakar Baasyir, Jemaah Islamiyah is a militant Muslim group whose stated goals are to run Indonesia into an Islamic State and advocates the implementation of Shariah. Furthermore, in order to study the origins of radical Muslim groups, “Islamism” is the most helpful and accurate term to define. Islamism means different from the sort of “fundamentalism”, Islamism is a response to modernity that has transformed the religion of Islam into a political ideology. Almost all Islamists, both modernist and traditionalist, are bound by the belief that Indonesia should be governed by Islamic law and this led to certain tactical alliances among them during debates over the inclusion of the Jakarta Chapter in Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution.Radical Islam is able to tap into the growing resistance among segments of the Indonesian populace to globalization and the spread of Western culture. Islamic revival is not the same thing as religious fanaticism and Islamist political parties are also able to capitalize on fears of social globalization that are seen as threats to cultural morals and region.
