[edit] Comment 1
Jemaah Islamiah has also setup shop in West Papua and may become part of the West Papuan Genocide problems. The Australian ABC reports: In May this year, up to 10 villages in the West Papuan highlands were burned and at least 20 people were killed, in what local people claim were terrorist actions attacks by groups linked to Jemaah Islamiah.Daeron 17:00, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC) see also Laskar Jihad
Does anyone know the English translation of the name Jemaah Islamiah?
Yes, it means "Islamic Group" or "Islamic Organization".

- I have *often* heard it translated as 'Islamic brotherhood'. In fact, it is the only translation I have ever heard before coming to this page. But as I don't even know what language it is in let alone speak it, I don't know if this is a literal translation or a popular interpretation. 203.206.24.90 13:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Announcing Wikipedia:Indonesia-related topics notice board
After some thought and consideration, I created an Indonesia-related topics notice board, along the same lines as other regional notice boards (such as those for Malaysia and Africa). This was established to coordinate efforts to improve Indonesia-related Wikipedia entries. If you've made contributions to Indonesia-related articles in the past, or would like to, please take some time to visit, introduce yourself, and sign the roster. --Daniel June 30, 2005 18:42 (UTC)
[edit] Jack Roche
I removed this sentence from the Jack Roche paragraph:
- However, it remains to be seen whether Roche is telling the truth of his full commitment to the alleged attack, and/or, his status within the Islamic-extremist world.
It sounds like commentary. Is it based on any citeable source? What is it actually trying to say? Ashmoo 00:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current Leader
Anyone have any information about who is leading the group since Hambali was captured? --zero faults |sockpuppets| 18:22, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category
Somebody has mis-labeled JI as a Secessionist organization; as far as I know JI shares Laskar Jihad's desire to have Indonesia adopt its form of Islam. The FPI political party being the political arm of the militant group's activities. The main difference between JI and Laskar Jihad is that Laskar Jihad also wishes to purify Indonesia of non-Javanese races.
- Agreed on JI as not a secessionist organisation. As for the rest, sources are helpful. Also, please sign your posts. Merbabu 03:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] appropriate use of tags
Someone put a {expert} and {cleanup} tags on this page.
The people who added these tags didn't complete the procedure. Both tags tell readers to look to the talk page for the discussion of the tag-placer's concern.
I think tags that aren't explained are cruft, and should be deleted on sight.
I explain my reasoning here -- User:Geo Swan/opinions/responsible use of maintenance wikitags.

Still no explanation of tagsPrester John 19:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thailand
The bombings in Thailand's capital may have been the work of JI. [1]
