Summary:With the attack on the World Trade Center in New York on 11 September 2001 and the following war on terror, the presence of militant Muslims in southeast Asia, many of whom are "alumni" of jihad, has become a critical concern to world security. Recent intrusion of Islamic radicalism from the Middle East infused with zeal from the Iranian Islamic revolution and given explosive dynamism from the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan has brought new destructive elements into the already volatile region. Across the archipelagic region, especially in Indonesia, jihadist groups such as Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiah are struggling to survive, Islamist political parties seem to be weakening, and new leaders have emerged openly waging war on terror.
