More Jihadi inspired fun, brought to you by those who returned from the battlefields. You can take the Jihadi off the battlefield, but not the Jihad out of their mind. Indonesia probably lulled itself to sleep thinking these people only hate the West, therefore we are safe. Just like Europe lulls itself to sleep thinking that with some therapy they can turn them into productive citizens again.
they will never surrender their jihad ideology, even for ‘reformed’ terrorists
I reckon with the right kind of treatment you can take the Jihad out of the Jihadi, but I also reckon it will take a lot more work then most are getting even in the West, let alone in 3rd World countries like Indonesia, where social services is probably pretty much non-existent. And even then there are no guarantees.
The US flew its ISIS fighters out of Syria, some went to the Philippines, so it was only a matter of time before they got to Indonesia.
True, but the population has been prepared by the thousands of Wahhabi schools that Saudi Arabia has been funding and spreading through out the Sunni nations. Especially the laid back ones that they consider “slack”, but the rest of the world considers” live and let live”. Asian Sunnis are being groomed for “future wars”. In Bangladesh alone the Saudis spent one billion dollars opening 650 Wahhabi schools. And that was just last year, 2017.
