Sinopse
Características

Written in an accessible, journalistic style, Jihad in Paradise focuses on Southeast Asias struggle to deal with Islamic extremists and terrorism at the hands of Jemah Islamiyah, al Qaedas Southeast Asian arm. Although the book gives particular attention to Singapores attempts to deal with these issues, the story extends into Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. All of these countries have significant Muslim populations, and recent violent events have affected the business environment, tourism, and the regions tradition of religious tolerance. The author draws on personal interviews with experts in the field as well as key political and religious figures in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, including Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Minister for Muslim Affairs Jaacoub Ibrahim, and expelled Muslim dissident Zulfikar Mohamad Sharif. Millard examines the Bali bombing, Malaysias conservative Islamic party PAS, the Malaysian province of Kelantan which is a Muslim political hotbed, Abu Saayaf of the Philippines, and Fateha.com and the use of the Internet. He also provides a glimpse of how Singapore, the regions most developed nation, has engineered its society in order to impose a degree of racial and religious tolerance.
