Kill it Before it Grows

An Indonesian recruitment call for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) went up on YouTube on July 22. The video was titled Join the Ranks and was conducted by a man calling himself Abu Muhammad al-Indonesi. This man, whose real name has been revealed to be Bachrumsyah, made a public speech about jihad and ISIS's struggle to become a world state. In June, the group, which has since changed its name to the Islamic State (IS), also released a video exhorting Australians, Germans and Canadians to join up.

Indonesian terror convict Abu Bakar Ba'asyir has stated his own support for IS, a group of rebels that has declared a new government in Iraq and Syria. Ba'asyir's involvement was shown by photos circulating on social media of him with 13 men unfolding the IS flag. Later, in various parts of Indonesia including Malang, Solo and Bima, IS supporters took oaths of loyalty to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
