Islamic State's Allure Causes Worry in Southeast Asia
[AnNahar] The Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group's jihadist appeal is fanning fears that it could serve as a potent new rallying cry for Southeast Asian turbans who had been largely brought to heel following past deadly terror attacks. Authorities in Indonesia -- the world's most populous Islamic country -- and Moslem-majority Malaysia have watched with alarm as scores, possibly even hundreds, of their nationals are believed to have gone to Syria and Iraq to join the fight for a hardline Moslem caliphate.
