Jemaah Islamiyah and Terrorist Attacks

Paper Summary:

The paper describes the Jemaah Islamiyah organization and their goal of creating an Islamic state in Southeast Asia. The paper discusses this terrorist group's origins, creation, current status, financing and ideology. The paper also shows how the organization's underground activities, the close international cooperation with so many other groups around the world, and the financing make it impossible for the organization to be terminated. The paper asserts that we can only closely monitor the organization and prevent other terrorist attacks that they are most likely planning.

From the Paper:

"The main goal of the organization is of creating an Islamic state in Southeast Asia. Considering that Southeast Asia has the largest Muslim population in the world, it is no news that extremist Muslim organizations operate in the area. Jemaah Islamiyah is the strongest and most dangerous terrorist organization in the region particularly because of the great number of people that believe in the cause of the organization. The dimension of its attacks shows that Jemaah Islamiyah is an organization that is truly committed to its goals and that it should be dealt with in the most serious manner."
