Organisations

Ok.. this week i will be talking about organisations.. do bear with me as this is going to be a very long post.

From the dictionary, organisations can be defned as
-A structure through which individuals cooperate systematically to conduct business.
-The administrative personnel of such a structure.

Well i am going to talk about the famous terrorist group Jemaah Islamiya (JI) which has created quite a commotion since the escape of Mas Selemat.

Ok here is a brief discription of the JIgroup and their brief history.

.

.For decades, the Indonesia-based Jemaah Islamiyah has expounded its idea of amalgamating Indonesia, Malaysia and the southern Philippines into a regional Islamic state. Kumpulan Mujahideen Malaysia also has the same ambition.

.

.Jemaah Islamiya is a Southeast Asian terrorist network with links to al-Qaida. The network plotted in secrecy through the late 1990s, following the stated goal of creating an idealized Islamic state comprising Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines, and southern Thailand.

.

.The name Jemaah Islamiyah dates to the late 1970s, but experts aren’t certain if the name referred to a formal organization or an informal gathering of like-minded Muslim radicals—or a government label for Islamist malcontents. The group has its roots in Darul Islam, a violent radical movement that advocated the establishment of Islamic law in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country and also home to Christians, Hindus, and adherents of other faiths. Darul Islam sprang up as the country emerged from Dutch colonial rule in the late 1940s, and it continued to resist the postcolonial Indonesian republic, which it saw as too secular.

.

Militant islamic group active in Southeast Asia that seeks to etablish an Islamic fundamentalist state in the region. J.I. is allegeed to have attacked or plotted against U.S. and Wesern targets in Inodnesia, Singapore and the Philippines. Several J.I. members have been jailed for the planning of the October 12, 2002, bombing that killed 202 people in Bali. J.I. is also suspected in the August 5, 2003 bombing of the J.W. Marriott hotel in Jakarta that killed 12.

.

I personaly feel that such cruel acts of terrorism should be stopped. I have never agreed with the selfish acts that terrorists do. their actions have brought about much hurt and suffering to many innocent people. Just because they oppose the U.S. and want to spread and establish an Islamic fundamentalist state in the region, does not give them the right to hurt and harm innocent people.

.

The case of sucide bomers, bombing up themselves in order to assassinate a person of high profile, or to bomb up places, had increased my awareness on terrorism. People who have the same ideal or belief tend to come together to form an organisation. I feel that an organisation should be formed on the stand that its actions will benefit society and not to cause unnecessary harm on others. For example, the World Wildlife Foundation is a group of international organisations that have come together to form a global organisation with a common goal to build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

.

Orgasnisations like the WWF are good in such a way as they are not only a non-profitable organisation, they acts have indeed benefited not only society, but nature and the environment itself. I feel that organisations like these should be encourgaed and formed, and not terror organisations like the JI which bring about unnecessary hurt to many innocent people.
