Charles E.ZACHARY ABUZA is currently a Senior Fellow at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) and Associate Professor of Political Science at Simmons College, Boston.Abuza specializes in Southeast Asian politics and security issues.He is the author of Militant Islam in Southeast Asia (2003) and Renovating Politics in Contemporary Vietnam (2001).He has also authored two studies for the National Bureau of Asian Research, Funding Terrorism in Southeast Asia: The Financial Network of Al Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiya, NBR Analysis (2003); and Muslims, Politics and Violence in Indonesia, NBR Analysis (2004).He is also working on two separate studies on the Abu Sayyaf Group and the insurgency in Southern Thailand.He consults widely and is a frequent commentator in the press.Abuza received his MALD and Ph.Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.Balik Terrorism: The Return of the Abu Sayyaf.The author analyzes the historical roots and recent resurgence of the Abu Sayyaf as a terrorist organization.IT'S bombing season in Indonesia.Qa'ida's terrorist affiliates in the region, it would be naive to write off Jemaah Islamiah's capacity to strike again.Indonesia back to the repression of Suharto's New Order.Still, despite some progress, we have a growing JI problem.Any strategy that is based on decapitation is bound to fail.After all, these terrorist groups can recruit, train and tap new leaders faster than they can be neutralised.Nor is decapitation foolproof: 18 known and hardened JI leaders are still at large.They are charismatic, highly trained and violent.Qa'ida's leading theorist, on how to establish loosely affiliated jihadi cells.With a secure base in MILF camps in Mindanao, JI can effectively regroup.Central Sulawesi and the Malukus in order to create a pure Islamic zone from which it can emanate.Indeed, in some cases it seemed to cause a backlash within the organisation.In 1999, Abu Bakar Bashir established the Majelis Mujihidin Indonesia.While JI benefited from these relations, they were always ancillary organisations, created to assist jihadist activities.With the war on terror and concerted police pressure on their militant activities, JI has adopted new strategies.The humanitarian catastrophe caused by the December 2004 tsunami that killed more than 165,000 people drew out three militant Islamist organisations and charities linked to JI: the MMI, the Laskar Mujihidin and MERC.Following the June 2006 earthquake in Java, the MMI received a contract from the World Food Program to help deliver 95 tonnes of food.Bashir was designated by the US Department of the Treasury and proscribed under the UN Security Council's 1267 committee on April 13, 2006.First, there have been token arrests and release of key leaders, for whom militancy is simply an unavailable course of action.Moreover, they have experience in running JI's overt arms in the past.Third, few politicians are willing to expend the political capital or incur the wrath of the Islamist parties to try to halt their activities.JI's emphasis on da'wah (preaching) and charity will make JI more durable over the long term.Inexplicably, JI is still not criminalised, so that mere membership is not a crime.As a responsible member of the UN, we will follow Resolution No.Aris Munandar, likewise, was designated, but KOMPAK's operations continue.The unwillingness to take on the terrorist infrastructure is regrettable and negligent.By pursuing overt strategies, JI is able to forge closer ties with Islamists who might otherwise eschew their violence.JI is thus no longer seen as a radical fringe, though its agenda has not changed.There is scant evidence that JI can be weaned off terrorism.Anyone who doubts this should ask themselves whether Hamas has been tempered because it has social welfare organisations and a leading role in politics.It remains a terrorist organisation, precisely because of its vast social networks.No wonder Hamas is a model that JI seeks to emulate.Zachary Abuza is associate professor for political science and international relations at Simmons College, Boston, in the US.He is in Australia this week.From here you can use the Social Web links to save Zachary Abuza: Killer network spreads to a social bookmarking site.Should Australia apologise to the Stolen Generation?Get a higher return
