 Indonesia - Jemaah Islamiya - Al-Qaeda - Worldpress.org
The arrests of suspected members of Jemaah Islamiyah in the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia over the past year have yet to generate evidence of this group’s terrorist activities, or even of its existence.
But even if Jemaah Islamiyah does not really exist in a formal sense, there certainly are networks of Islamist scholars, students, and activists in Indonesia who are eager to inculcate a stronger sense of Islamic identity throughout the region.
For example, Abu Bakar Bashir, the Muslim cleric accused of leading Jemaah Islamiyah, has been a vocal critic of secular nationalism and was elected to head the Indonesian Mujahedin Assembly in 2000.

 Asia Times - Jemaah Islamiya 'damaged but dangerous'
Despite the four-year sentence handed on Tuesday to radical Islamist cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir and the August 11 capture of top Jemaah Islamiya leader Riduan Isamuddin, aka Hambali, reports of JI's demise, to paraphrase Mark Twain, are premature.
Considering the August 5 bombing of a hotel in Jakarta, which killed 12 people, and that on Tuesday four suspected JI members were arraigned for plotting terrorist attacks on five embassies in Thailand and tourist spots in the country's premier tourist spots of Pattaya and Phuket, this should come as no surprise.
In fact, the bombs that exploded in Makassar last December were carried out by two South Sulawesi-based organizations, Wahdah Islamiya and Laskar Jundullah, "which cooperate with JI and may even have been modeled after it but were completely independent in terms of leadership".
