Please enjoy this week's latest posts:
"Terrorism returns to our front door," By Ross B. Taylor, August 2014. The caliphate comes to Indonesia and not for the first time. We really need to step up security in our beloved Bali with mutual cooperation. We've done it before and we can do it again.
"Resisting radicalism in the Jokowi era," By Lauren Gumbs, August 2014. We almost forgot about 'rising intolerance' in the heat of the elections. But it's still there and only enhanced by ISIL whose recruitment drive has claimed actors in both Australia and Indonesia. What will Jokowi do to address this problem and was Prabowo enabling Islamic groups?
"A tale of two elections," By Sandeep Ray, August 2014. India went the opposite way to Indonesia, electing a nationalist hard liner with poor human rights credentials. Sandeep outlines why elections in the two biggest demoncracies produced such different outcomes.

Tim Lindsey says Prabowo could create obstructions for Joko.

And Muhammadiyah youth can see ISIS for what it is: an attempt to break up the Muslim community. Lucky for Indonesia's civil society voices, rejection of the ideology is loud and public.
