Indonesia: Jemaah Islamiyah’s Publishing Industry
The Indonesian government should more closely monitor publishers associated with Indonesia’s most prominent extremist organisation, Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). A handful of JI members and persons close to JI have developed a profitable publishing consortium, producing books that reflect the lively debate taking place within the organisation. Their output has jumped dramatically as JI has weakened over the last few years. They should not be closed down or their books banned, but by enforcing existing laws on labour, trade, publishing and taxation, the government could exert closer scrutiny than it is doing now and gain valuable information at the same time.
