No Man's Land
The increased ability of clandestine groups to operate with little regard for borders or geography is often taken to be one of the dark consequences of a brave new globalized world. Yet even for terrorists and smugglers, the world is not flat; states exert formidable control over the technologies of globalization, and difficult terrain poses many of the same problems today as it has throughout human history. In No Man's Land, Justin V. Hastings examines the complex relationship that illicit groups have with modern technology—and how and when geography still matters. Based on often difficult fieldwork in Southeast Asia, Hastings traces the logistics networks, command and control structures,...
The Second Front
Decades before al-Qaeda took shape, religious radicals in Southeast Asia were laying the groundwork for a struggle to achieve a backward-looking utopia. This is the story of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), the secretive organization that spans no less than half a dozen nations and seeks the full implementation of their intolerant take on Islam. In The Second Front: Inside Asia's Most Dangerous Terrorist Network, best-selling author Ken Conboy pieces together the planning and execution of JI's most deadly terrorist acts from exclusive interviews and classified reports. In details never before revealed, it delves into the minds of the group's leaders - from the professorial bomb expert Azhari to the al...

The Roots of Terrorism in Indonesia
Available for the first time in English, this groundbreaking book is an in-depth investigation of the development of jihadism from the earliest years of Indonesian independence in the late 1940s to the terrorist bombings of the past decade. The Indonesian journalist Solahudin shows with rare clarity that Indonesia's current struggle with terrorism has a long and complex history. The Roots of Terrorism in Indonesia is based on a remarkable array of documentary and oral sources, many of which have never before been publicly cited. Solahudin’s rigorous account fills many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings.
The Future of Islamic Banking and Finance in Indonesia
Sharia-compliance is the raison d’etre of Islamic banks. All of their instruments and activities should be based on sharia principles, which unfortunately exposes them to greater risks than their conventional counterparts, regulated under the dual banking system in Indonesia. These include inconsistencies between fatwas, unique reputational risks, and inefficiencies in the regulatory framework governing Islamic banks. This book critically examines the less-studied issue of developing an Islamic banking regulatory and supervisory framework that considers the risk pressures faced by Islamic banks’ operations in an Indonesian financial sector dominated by conventional banks. The book assess...
PROFIL ULAMA KARISMATIK DI KABUPATEN BENGKALIS: MENELADANI SOSOK DAN PERJUANGAN
Kehadiran dan perkembangan agama Islam di suatu kawasan tak bisa dipisahkan dengan keberadaan para ulama. Karena para ulamalah yang menyebarkan dan mengajarkan agama Islam kepada penduduk tempatan. Mereka biasanya datang berkunjung ke suatu daerah dengan tujuan berdagang sambil mendakwahkan ajaran Islam, kemudian memilih untuk menetap dan berkeluarga dengan masyarakat lokal. Berdasarkan informasi-informasi awal mengenai perkembangan agama Islam di Pulau Bengkalis dan sekitarnya, diketahui bahwa kawasan ini rupanya banyak dihuni oleh para ulama, baik yang datang dari luar maupun dari dalam, yang mana mereka menuntut ilmu di tempat lain kemudian kembali kampung halamannya. Akan tetapi, kita mengalami kesulitan untuk mengetahui sejarah mengenai eksistensi dan peran mereka selama masa hidup mereka karena keterbatasan literatur mengenai hal tersebut.
