ISIS EYES FERTILE RECRUITING GROUND IN INDONESIA

     With all the stuff happening recently, this was not a headline that I really wanted to see.  

   The following quotes are from a recent article in the Washington Times:

   The Islamic State’s terrorist army is broadening its global reach to find recruits willing to come to its Syria-Iraq “caliphate” and wreak havoc.

   An Army think tank report states that Southeast Asia, and especially Indonesia, is a routine stop for hundreds of smuggled terrorists.

   Indonesia, with the world’s largest Muslim population at more than 205 million, is less noticed but fertile territory. One team of researchers in London has called Southeast Asia a “blind spot” for counting Islamic State recruits.

   The Foreign Military Studies Office puts the number (of Indonesians that have gone to Syria to join ISIS) now at about 500. Jakarta faces the same problem as Europe and possibly the U.S.: Fighters honed by the Islamic State in Syria will return to their home country to commit terrorism.
