Jemaah Islamiyah

Jemaah Islamiyah (J.I.) is a militant Islamist group founded in Southeast Asia, primarily operating in Indonesia and neighboring countries. It aims to establish an Islamic state by promoting a strict interpretation of Sharia law. The group has been linked to terrorist activities, including attacks on civilians and government targets, and has ties to international networks like al-Qaeda. Its ideology combines religious fundamentalism with regional political goals. Over the years, J.I. has faced significant crackdowns by authorities, leading to arrests and diminishment of its operational capacity. Nonetheless, it remains a concern due to its ideology and history of violence.
