This report examines the possibilities of containing jihadism in Indonesia. It outlines the origins of Darul Islam, the relevance of the Komando Jihad, the power struggle in Java from 1979 to 1987, the recruitment method of usroh to facilitate the eventual establishment of an Islamic state, and subsequent conflicts within Darul Islam. The report states that over the last 55 years, Darul Islam has produced splinter factions that range from Jemaah Islamiyah to non-violent religious groups. Every time the older generation seems to become irrelevant, a new generation of young militants emerges to give the movement a new lease on life.
