Is the Jemaah Islamiyah the armed wing of al-Qaeda in Southeast Asia? Are the Abu Sayyaf part of a huge conspiracy of fundamentalist Islam? Are the Bali and Jakarta blasts the signs of a general radicalization of Indonesian Islam? Are not the States of the region kindling these fears to play their own political game? The West is showing a tendency to ostracize Asian Muslims more and more – is this not fuelling the martyrology that is precisely providing fodder to the most radical networks?
Using the notes of seventeen experts from various ASEAN countries, Stéphane Dovert and Rémy Madinier put the current events back in their geographical and historical context, describe the very diverse motivations of the fundamentalist groups, terrorist networks and governments of the region ; finally, they take apart the myths and the fantasies of the West worried by eruptions of violence that it can hardly grasp.
A major synthetic work for understanding the phenomenon of radical Islam in Southeast Asia.
