The Internet in Indonesia: Development and Impact of Radical Websites
Jennifer Yang Hui

The Internet has become a crucial part of modern society’s life due to its ability to facilitate communication and structure contemporary society. Indonesia has not been left out of this global phenomenon. The Internet came to Indonesia in 1983 and its usage has continued to expand ever since, especially within institutions of learning and in the government sector. The study of radical websites must be situated within the development of the Internet in Indonesia in general instead of being examined by itself. The impact of certain activities such as cyberterrorism must then be examined in perspective, given the vast expanse of Indonesia as an archipelago and the resulting difficulties in linking the entire country to the Internet. This article seeks to trace the development of the Internet in Indonesia and examine the resulting impact on the reach of the radical Bahasa Indonesia Islamic websites in the Indonesian Archipelago and beyond. It also highlights typical narrative and operations of the radical websites, which serves to distinguish them from radical websites from elsewhere, such as the Middle East.

TRS15 23 Indonesia Moderate Muslim Websites and Their Fights against Online Extremism
Dr. A'an Suryana [Assistant Professor, Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia]

Trends in Southeast Asia, 2024

It is worrying that, in many cases in Indonesia, exposure to the Internet, especially social media, increases knowledge seekers’ religious radicalism. This exposure has not only resulted in increased radicalism but also compelled some individuals to turn to violence in the name of Islam. Moderate online media institutions have not been effective in counteracting the online dissemination of extremist religious content. The content disseminated by radical websites is still being popularly consumed, albeit those moderate Muslim websites have put in considerable effort to counteract radical narratives. This report argues that this ineffectiveness is due to structural and cultural challenges. The structural challenges include limited funding and sensitivity towards the policy of umbrella organizations. Cultural challenges include passiveness in corporate culture, alongside the “ivory tower” traditions among journalists which leaves them out of touch with Muslim communities. The government of Indonesia can assist moderate Muslim media websites in fighting radical narratives, for example, through better funding to them.

Islamic Radicalism Online
Birgit Braeuchler

The Internet has become an important instrument for the information politics of radical Muslim groups. This paper will focus on one of the Islamist groups that have emerged in Indonesia recently—the Communication Forum of the Followers of the Sunnah and the Community of the Prophet (FKAWJ). The FKAWJ sent its fighters, the so-called Laskar Jihad or Jihad troop/fighters, to Ambon in April 2000 to help their Muslim brothers against the ‘Christian attackers’ in the Moluccan conflict—a conflict that was also extended into cyberspace by several actors. Describing the Internet presence of the Laskar Jihad, I give an example of how Islamism is being transferred into cyberspace. The position of the FKAWJ concerning the situation in the Moluccas is outlined as well as other (online) strategies used. Through these strategies the cyberactors create an image and construct an identity that is congruent with their offline philosophy but extends its reach. It is evident that the online level is highly interconnected with the offline level. When analysing contemporary Islamism it is essential to take both levels into account.

Internet Radicalization : Actual Threat or Phantom Menace?
Michael Mealer

2012

: According to popular opinion, accessing radical Islamic content and connecting with extremist networks through the internet causes radicalization and recruitment to commit terrorist acts. Anecdotal evidence has been used to support this assertion. The assumption is that the internet has created a new path to radicalization and recruitment. However, whether computer-mediated communication (CMC) and internet functionalities (e.g., web sites, e-mail, chat rooms, forums, weblogs, text messages, online games) cause individuals to become radicalized has not been thoroughly studied. This thesis explores whether a correlation can be found between radicalization and radicalizing content and extremist networks accessed through CMC and internet functionalities. The thesis examines the psychological and sociological elements of radicalization; perceptions of the impact of the internet on radicalization, recruitment, and terrorism; radicalization causes and the radicalization process; the pres...

Social media as a source of radicalization
Manam Hanfi

Pakistan Journal for Terrorism Research, 2022

Since its inception Pakistan has been confronted with multiple internal and external security challenges, however, the post-9/11 attacks scenario further complicated the landscape of religious extremism, radicalization and terrorism. The surge in terrorism in Afghanistan brought spillover effects of the War on Terror on Pakistan and experienced a transition from old to new terrorism, where extremist organizations incorporate internet to disseminate propaganda, generate funds and recruit & train people. This study integrates the media dependency theory to understand social media, dark web and radicalization nexus. Furthermore, the study investigates radicalization through social media by terrorist organizations in Pakistan with the help of case studies of Noureen Jabbar Laghari and Bushra Cheema. Five ways to counter radicalization in Pakistan have been suggested including a counternarrative on social media, content analysis of the data on the internet, curriculum and Madrassa reforms, peace education and use of technical software such as eGLYPH to quickly remove radical data from social media. Lastly, the research attempts to contribute to counter-radicalization by combining the media dependency model and ideas for counterradicalization as the dependency model elaborates on the impact of mass media content on the audience.

Online Radicalism, When Online Surfing Leads to Suffering
Sukron Ma'mun

ESENSIA: Jurnal Ilmu-Ilmu Ushuluddin

The development of online media has long played big roles in the spreading of intolerance and radicalism, in some levels, the online media is also used as a media to spread propaganda and to conduct online recruitment. Data compiled by Gabriel Weimann shows that radical groups use online media seriously to spread their wings in influencing and asking people to joint their movement. In 1998, radical-terrorist groups only had 12 sites, while in 2003 they had 2.650 sites. The number increased so high in 2014 where these groups are known to have more than 9.800 sites. The shifting place, from offline to online, used by radical groups to conduct their activities impacts to the targets they aim; online radicalism targets youth to become ‘jihadis’. A national survey conducted by Wahid Foundation on potency of intolerance and radicalism in Rohis (an after-school program focused on Islamic spirituality) shows this fact; 33% Rohis put terrorist suspect like Amrozi, Imam Samudra, Abu Bakar Ba’...

Syaza Shukri

Jurnal Studi Komunikasi (Indonesian Journal of Communications Studies), 2022

This article analyses the influence of the use of social media among terrorist groups toward the development of terrorism in Indonesia. This research is crucial and interesting because the development of social media could be a prominent tool for a particular person or one group’s existence. Data were collected through literature reviews and studies on social media publications on the issue. The collected data were checked, classified, and analysed by using Nvivo plus 12. Based on the data analysis, it was found that terrorist groups have already used various social media such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp to recruit, share their ideologies, and spread their threats towards people. Each activity has its target and steps to strengthen their existences. These groups have implemented artificial intelligence (AI) by arranging the content management strategy for using social media within their groups or collaborating with other terrorist organisations' links....

This study concludes that Internet has become a new instrument to spread radicalism and terror within community life. Abstrak Dewasa ini sejumlah individu dan organisasi radikal sudah menancapkan kaki mereka di Internet. Mereka beroperasi dalam suatu jaringan yang sulit terpantau oleh pihak penguasa untuk membujuk, merekrut anggota baru dan sekaligus berkoordiansi dalam melancarkan tindakan radikal dan kekerasan. Kehadiran mereka di dunia maya telah mendatangkan berbagai kontroversi dan perdebatan dikalangan pengguna Internet, penegak hukum, dan pembuat kebijkan terkait penyalahgunaan Internet. Namun, masih sangat terbatas penelitian and informasi terkait bagaimana sebenarya oraganisasi radikal tersebut beroperasi di dunia maya dan bagaimana cara mereka menyampaikan proganda di Internet. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisa kontent, penelitian ini berusaha menyajikan pemahaman yang mendalam terkait gerakan dan propaganda radikal di Internet. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah organisasi radikal di Indonesia dan Internasional sudah memanfaatkan Internet secara intensif dalam gerakan mereka. Mereka memanfaatakan Internet untuk mempengaruhi, menyampaikan propaganda radikal, merekrut anggota baru, berkomunikasi denganpendukung dari berbagai negara dan menggalang dana dari publik yang simpati dengan mereka.

Nearly two decades after the devastating Bali bombing, terrorism still remains at the core of Indonesian national security. The government has programs on counterterrorism in order to eradicate terrorist attacks. A national auxiliary body,National Counter Terrorism Agency or Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme (herein after BNPT) has been established in 2010 with the main duty to eradicate terrorism in Indonesia with some strategic policies which consist of legal enforcement and anticipatory measures. However, terrorist attacks had occurred again in 2018 in Surabaya. This condition would have become worsened with the existence of digital media. By its nature, the Internet provides more opportunities for individuals to become radical since the Internet can give almost unlimited information including radicalism that nearly without filter from various sources. This paper is normative legal research with conceptual, historical, and statute approaches by which the result of this paper can be used as a reference for the government in eliminating digitalized radicalism in Indonesia. This paper argues that the Internet as one method of communication devices may become a very dangerous method of radicalization in Indonesia, in this case, self-radicalization because individuals may communicate and collaborate with terrorists and extremists who stay in other countries without physical contact. In this respect, radicalism would have spread easily and massive in Indonesia with the target of youth as the biggest user of digital social media. This paper analyzes de-radicalization programs by Indonesian government to stem the tide of radicalism that leads to terrorism including international cooperation in the Southeast Asian region as the ASEAN member states would like to build resilience against potential disruptive effects of digital revolution 4.0.
