New initiative to guide former members of Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia away from extremism
Former leaders of the now-disbanded terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) in Indonesia are taking new steps to distance themselves from the group’s radical past. A new initiative, called Rumah Wasathiyah or “House of Moderation”, aims to guide former JI members away from extremism. Efforts are also underway to help Islamic boarding schools previously linked to JI transition toward more mainstream religious teachings. CNA's Saifulbahri Ismail reports.
