With "travel warnings being issued against Malaysia":http://www.aizuddindanian.com/voi/archives/000422.html in the anticipation of "a terrorist attack on our shores":http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/topstories/story/0,4386,189295,00.html, i wondered who would be responsible if such attacks took place. In all likelihood, the ones responsible will be "Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)":http://www.abc.net.au/public/s856261.htm, "yet another violent group of people":http://www.terrorismanswers.com/groups/jemaah.html who use religion as their excuse to wage war.
bq. Jemaah Islamiah (JI) is not a particularly new phenomenon in South-East Asia. The roots of JI began as long ago as the late 1940s in Indonesia. Essentially, there has been a tradition within Indonesian politics for a radical Islamic group to agitate for the imposition of an Islamic state within Indonesia. Over the years there has been a resuscitation of this particular Indigenous Indonesian phenomenon.
