Prof Rohan Gunaratna, head of the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research, RSIS, and Dr Shashi Jayakumar, head of RSIS’ Centre of Excellence for National Security, wrote in their commentary that with the so-called ISIS seemingly in eclipse, many senior security officials and terrorism analysts around the world are saying they have now time to think, attend conferences, and see to other security issues that loom large these days. They suggested to use this window of opportunity to prepare for ISIS’ evolutions, and for deep thinking about extremism itself. This may just be a lull before the next storm of violent extremism.
