In a commentary, Yuslikha K Wardhani, a researcher at University of Indonesia and Cameron Sumpter, an associate research fellow at the Centre of Excellence for National Security, RSIS, highlighted Indonesia’s national intelligence agency’s revelation in November 2018 that 41 mosques connected to government institutions and state-owned enterprises conduct sermons laced with extremist advocacy. The Indonesian government is falling short in addressing the problem on campuses, and the new revelations may further test its willingness and ability to intervene.
