Abstract

Southeast Asia captivates Al Qaeda (Saudi Arabia/Middle East)  to enter this region because Osama Bin Laden knows that Southeast Asia is the second priority of the US in fighting international terrorism. Southeast Asia is also referred to as "home" for terrorist groups or movements such as Jemaah Islamiah (JI), Abu Sayyaf and the Mujahideen Malaysia Group (KKM)) which were allegedly involved in the WTC case. Regardless of whether or not the involvement of "radical Islamic" groups was involved with ‘’the September 11(9/11)’’ case, which clearly has changed US relations with Southeast Asian countries. Meanwhile, the Islamic political movement, especially the  political violence groups have increased and flourished in Indonesia since President Soeharto fell in 1998.  Since the mid-1990s, a number of terrorist attacks have been planned in the Southeast Asia region, including attacks on church leaders (Pope), President Bill Clinton, and commercial aircraft. But these plans are not  always successful, and all of the above factors, combined with the arrest of several people from the Al-Qaeda network operating in Southeast Asia, are seen as a strong enough driving factor to carry out the terrorism attacks in this region. Al Qaeda succeeded in building networks, supporters and cells through regional extremist movements affiliated with it. According to Asean  intelligent report, they received financial and weapons amounted to US$ hundred thousands from Al Qaeda on a scale that worried many people.

Abstract

This article argues that a number of Western orientalists tried to impress that Islam and the West could not meet, imaged that all the Islamic ones seemed to be unable to meet all the nuances of the West, as all the western images imaged always contradict Islam. Such tensions continue to this day. Towards the end of the 20th century, Islamism or Islamic fundamentalism has retreated or failed in maintaining political power in the Islamic world. But the enforcement of Shari'ah in society, remains a central theme of the demands of these Islamic fundamentalists. Thus, their target as a group is no longer just a country, but also a society. The political experiments of Islam, however, as shown in Algeria, Sudan, Iran and Afghanistan have failed and are out of date, but anyway, by the beginning of the 21st century Islamism or Islamic fundamentalism has been revived, marked by the WTC bomb 9/11 and other terror attacks in Indonesia, Europe, the US etc.

Abstract

This article explains that in the midst of the widespread Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreak, the United States accuses China of being the ringleader of the Corona spreader, and  on the contrary China blames the US for making corona. The controversy about who is the spreader of the Corona pandemic, instead led to mutual suspicion between the US vs. China, while it did not solve the Corona outbreak problem that threatens the world community. Today, for the peoples in various parts of the world today, the main problem for overcoming Corona is the inability of the state to deal with the deadly virus. So that cooperation and mutual trust between nations will enable us all to overcome Corona outbreaks. Noah Harari's view should not be forgotten that the experience of the world community in eradicating the 2014 Ebola outbreak teaches us that closer, open and mutual trust in global cooperation will not only be a victory for humanity over the Corona virus, but also a victory against all pathogenic viruses in the future.

Abstract

This article argues that, in the future, Europe Union (EU) is predicted to continue to confront the expression of Islamization of acts of terror and radicalism by Muslim youth amid the complexity of the problem and amid the fact that government security forces in Belgium and other European countries are often uncomplicated, low-paid secret agents, open to the movement of fundamentalism, and the proliferation of the black market of weapons. All this has made Europe a very vulnerable area against terrorist attacks and militarism in cloak of religion. Indeed, a problem and a challenge to be solved amid issues of potential cracking or collapse of the Europe Union.

Abstract

The relationship between Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim was colorful, from friendship, fellowship to violent conflict and hostilities, even Anwar was slandered with sodomy and jailed and tortured in his cell. Anwar's struggle in Malaysian politics was full of sorrow and bitterness, after being released from prison in 2007, in 2008 he was jailed again on charges of sodomy too. But then he could be free and form an opposition against Najib Razak who replaced Mahathir.In 1997, when he became a finance minister, Anwar Ibrahim supported the steps of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). He saved money by cutting state spending by 18 percent, cutting ministerial salaries, and postponing major projects. The major projects postponed by Anwar Ibrahim included a number of projects that were the mainstay of the development strategy designed by Mahathir Mohamad. In 1998, amid the worsening relationship between Anwar and Mahathir, Newsweek magazine named Anwar the "Asian Leader of the Year". In the same year, the youth wing of UMNO led by Anwar's ally Ahmad Zahid Hamidi indicated that they would raise the issue of cronyism and nepotism in the UMNO General Session.Now Anwar has returned to the Malaysian political scene and is waiting for the promise of Mahathir who will hand over the reign of the Prime Minister to him. Indeed, Anwar's way of life was full of mystery and grief but there was no grudge in him for those who had imprisoned him for quite a long time.

Abstract

The Taliban government is in the world spotlight despite its pledge to aim only at a peaceful, inclusive and sovereign "Islamic government" in Afghanistan. The Taliban said it would not pose a threat to other countries and international community, and they will not repeat the pro-Al Qaeda stance it has in the past. The Taliban are even determined to eradicate terrorism such as ISIS and so on, they would not repeat its violent behavior such as in the past. Of course, the world needs concrete evidence, not just promises, and for that the Taliban needs international help to rebuild Afghanistan. So far, many analysts still view the Taliban as strong and radical Afghan Muslim forces. However, it is also important to remember that the Taliban is not a centralized and unified force so the central government in Kabul must be able to eliminate terrorism and radicalism from any party that threatens the Afghan people and the world community.
