Although hearing and assessment of Terrorism in South East Asia and the terrorism treat to the law enforcement and civilian of Indonesia has been discussed in Home land Security Council United State, Subcommitte on Counterterrorism and Intelligence since April 2016 by the three speakers below more deadly and suicide Terrorist happen in 3 location Church of Surabaya. How does the church that never been involved in counter terrorism, more terrorist has hatred towards churches in Surabaya.
One of speaker Dr. Joseph Chinyong Liow has warned the weak prison system in
Depok Indonesia where radicalization that occurs within prisons since 2016.
Indonesia should bear in mind, though, that not all of these soon-to-be-released
militants are ISIS supporters or sympathizers.
In fact, the vast majority are members of militant groups known to be anti-ISIS.
There will be about 100 or so released from Indonesia at the end of the year.
Yet the detainees of post terrorist had killed 10 Indonesia prisoner police on
9 May 2018.This early warning 2016 does ignore by security measure of
Indonesia to take pre caution action particularly Prisoner Police in Depok
until it had happen.
Indonesia law enforcement need to take a serious matter or collaborate with regional for
detainee terrorist but instead of releasing them to public.
1. Patrick M. Skinner has speaking on hearing quoted
"Countering this threat now and for the long-term is a challenge
with which the region will need substantial assistance from the United
States and other countries. There are long-standing ties and liaison
that have proven extremely effective and beneficial in addressing the
threats of the past but that will need to be reassessed and likely
increased to match the new reality. Militarily, the Philippines will
continue to need help combatting Abu Sayaf and other extremist groups
such as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Legally and politically,
countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia are trying to balance civil
rights with the increased need to detain people with extremist ties and
intentions. Malaysia has arrested over 100 people on suspicion of ties
to the Islamic State, and has enacted the Prevention of Terrorism Act
(POTA) which increased the length of pre-trial detentions. Indonesia is
considering similar legislation as well. It will be, as it is in every
country, a delicate balance between liberty and security, with
excessive legal persecution likely to lead to more of the behavior it
was intended to prevent. Lastly, each country will need to increase its
respective efforts at countering violent extremism both ideologically
and socially. Singapore has been in the forefront of this, though its
model will be difficult to scale for its much larger neighbors.
Increased assistance from the United States in all 3 facets of the
fight against the Islamic State in Southeast Asia is needed to help
avoid much greater threats"
2. Supna Zaidi Peery, attorney and a strategic policy analyst at the
Counter Extremist Project Strategic. has speaking on hearing quoted :
"ISIS has targeted neighboring Malaysia as well. ISIS met
multiple militant groups last fall in the Philippines to plan
attacks to be committed in Malaysia. ISIS also has a presence
in Indonesia where pro-ISIS militants attacked a Starbucks cafe
in Jakarta killing 4 on January 14 of this year.
Bahrun Naim is considered the brains behind the operation,
and he is connected to ISIS propagandist Abu Jandal in Syria,
and pro-ISIS ideologue Aman Abdulrahman. Abdulrahman has
translated pro-ISIS propaganda from Arabic to Bahasa Indonesian
on-line to help recruit jihadists.
It should be important to note that ISIS propaganda
includes multiple languages along multiple platforms to ensure
that his message is, indeed, global.
Thus, the activities of ISIS and local militant groups in
Southeast Asia confirm that extremism is on the rise in the
region. But, yet, it should still be pointed out, as my fellow
witnesses have mentioned, the numbers of actual extremists are
low. But if the United Kingdom is to serve as an example, more
aggressive policies to challenge extremist rhetoric are
critical to prevent extremism from spreading to the same level
as in other parts of the globe in Southeast Asia in the future.
Consequently, we at CEP recommend that regional governments
create policies to work with the private sector to take down
extremist propaganda. Second, local governments should replace
the extremist rhetoric with moderate voices.
Two examples out of many from the region include, Nahdlatul
Ulama, which is an Indonesian clerical body that supports the
indigenous and peaceful interpretation of Islam called
Nusantara Islam. The Ulama represents approximately 40 to 50
million members already. The Ulama has already denounced
extremist rhetoric by ISIS using the hash tag, we are not
afraid, as a social media campaign.
A second moderate voice is the Wahid Institute, founded by
Yenny Wahid, the daughter of former Indonesian president,
Abdurrahman Wahid. She is quoted as saying, we are not just
coming out with a counternarrative. We are coming up with a
counter-identity, and that is what all of this is about. We
believe we are good Muslims, but to be good Muslims, we don't
have to accept the recipes that are handed out by some radicals
from the Middle East.Raising such pluralist voices will not only challenge ISIS
extremism but also marginalize separatist rhetoric espoused by
groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir and individuals like Zakir Naik.
To conclude, Southeast Asia has an opportunity now to
respond properly to the growing extremist threat by addressing
important identity issues and providing alternatives to the
extremist messages turned out daily by ISIS and other Islamist
groups; otherwise, the threat to the region, other countries,
including the United States will only grow.
3. Joseph Chinyong Liow is Associate Professor and Head of Research at
the Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technical University, Singapore,
has speaking on hearing quoted :
Against this backdrop, recent ISIS-inspired attacks in
Jakarta and the southern Philippines serve as a timely reminder
of the threat that terrorism continues to pose to Southeast
Asian societies.
Related to ISIS, the threat takes 3 forms. First, the
danger of attacks perpetrated by local groups or individuals
inspired by ISIS. These groups or individuals might not have
direct links to ISIS central. Rather, they possess local
grievances for which the extraction that is ISIS provides
impetus and inspiration, usually via internet. Jakarta was an
example of this.
Second, the threat pulls by returnees from Syria and Iraq.
In particular, the possibility that hardened militants would
return with battlefield experience and operational knowledge to
either plan or mount attacks back in the region. Thankfully,
this has not yet happened.
Thus far, the returnees in custody are deportees, who
failed in their attempt to get to Syria and Iraq in the first
place.
Third, the threat posed by militants who will soon be
released from prison. At issue here is the weak prison system,
particularly in Indonesia and the radicalization that occurs
within prisons. We should bear in mind, though, that not all of
these soon-to-be-released militants are ISIS supporters or
sympathizers. In fact, the vast majority are members of
militant groups known to be anti-ISIS. There will be about 100
or so released from Indonesia at the end of the year.
So how serious is the threat posed by ISIS? The threat is
certainly real and warrants our attention for reasons I already
mentioned. By the same time, we must take care not to
exaggerate it. Let me make 3 points in that regard.
No. 1, when we speak of ISIS in Southeast Asia, we have to
be mindful of the fact that at present, there is no such thing
as an ISIS Southeast Asia, nor has ISIS central formally
declared an interest in any Southeast Asian country. For the
most part, we are dealing with radical groups and individuals
who have on their own taken oaths of allegiance to ISIS.
No. 2, the number of Southeast Asians fighting in Iraq and
Syria remains comparatively small. We are talking of, at most,
700 mostly from Indonesia. By way of comparison, thousands are
coming from Europe. In addition to this, a large proportion of
Southeast Asians' death, I would say around 40 percent,
comprise women and children under the age of 15.
No. 3, in our anxiety over ISIS, we must be careful not to
miss the forest for the trees. There are multiple militant
groups operating in Southeast Asia. Many are at odds with each
other. Not all seek affiliation to or are enamored of ISIS.
In fact, I would argue that the greater long-term threat
comes from a rejuvenated Jemaah Islamiyah, which has a larger
network and is better funded than the pro-ISIS groups in the
region currently.
What about terrorism in Southeast Asia more generally?
Here, too, it is imperative that we keep things in perspective.
Yes, for Southeast Asia today, the question of terrorist
attacks is, unfortunately, no longer a matter of if but when.
Even if the influence of ISIS diminishes over time, and it
will, terrorism is part of the lay of the land and will not be
eradicated any time soon. But terrorism, whether perpetrated by
ISIS or Jemaah Islamiyah is not an existential threat to
Southeast Asian societies.
All indicators are that from an operational perspective,
the threat remains at a low level. Of course, given the
resilience and evolutionary nature of terrorism, this situation
might well change. As I alluded to earlier, one possible factor
that could prompt a change is a deliberate shift of attention
on ISIS central to Southeast Asia.
This, however, seems unlikely for now, as ISIS is
preoccupied with its immediate priority of holding ground in
Iraq and Syria and expanding its fight in Libya, Yemen, and
Europe.
A final observation, without being complacent, we should
also recognize that regional governments are, today, better
equipped and prepared to deal with the threat compared to a
decade-and-a-half ago, although capacity can and should be
further improved with cooperation among themselves and with
help from the United States

Defense Ministry of Germany, Madam female Ursula Von der Leyen. The principle to fight transnational terrorism is the power of law must prevail over the law of power.
Five thoughts to fight multilateral terrorism
1. It is truth in saying it takes a network to fight a network
we must intensely coordinate national instruments of law enforcement, diplomacy, development policy and the military. then We must apply a tailored and target mix of measures. Internationally we need to cooperate even closer in our respect regional organization and alliances. Terrorism that use hybrid mean requires a hybrid response and a hybrid defense.
2. We have to win a battle of attention
ISIL propaganda is visual and professional. 90% of its propaganda is distributed through visual content. It appeals to emotional level by using imagery and music which skillfully replicates the aesthetics of popular video games. We have to be smart to our response. We need to develop our own narrative and communicate the openness of our societies , our respect for other cultural religious and national tradition in powerful and modern way. At the same time we need to address expose and disproved false arguments of terrorists organizations and be convincing particularly to young people
3. Strengthen fragile country for example Indonesia that are vulnerable to suicide terrorism and help them to build resilience. This means that we need to enable and empower them to assume responsibility for their own security. The fight against terror need a local faith. We need to make a tangible contribution to this with for a number of projects for example in Jordan and Tunisia for example
EU-G5 Shael Partnership.
4. Terrorists need money and communication. This is why we have to disrupt terrorist channel of communication and financing. We formed strategic communication and counter financing. We need to take a concerted action to combat black market operations. The cashing in of hostage taking and art theft even more effectively
5. The return of fighters harbours enormous risks, Those individual are combats proved, redicalized, orphaned traumatize and brutal and they are mobile. In Germany they take measures to prevent departures of join ISIL and to prosecute foreign fighter and to invest in prevention and deradicalization
