This paper evaluates the larger pattern of American interest in the Arab Gulf. It questions whether the pattern is based on ideological or economic interest. It also critically examines various data and interprets following their (data) social, economic and political interlinks and special topics that have been significantly proposed in the state policy. This paper argues that the US foreign policy represents two larger directions of its interest: economy and ideology. Both have linked together and interrelatedly have determined and have been determined by strategic culture of the states in the region and its complexities covering all national, interstate, regional, broader regional (Middle East) and global levels. This paper also arguably states that there is no single interest that can be oversimplified, but it has remained highly dynamic or has demonstrated multiple complexities of the interest in which they are represented by issues of oil, war on terrorism, nuclear weapon and Israel.

“…Becker and Tausch (2015), conducted a literature review of collective action studies and concluded that a politicized identification in both direct and indirect (through group efficacy and group-based anger) could strengthen the desire for peaceful action. Meanwhile, religious identity was found to be more strongly related to radical action (Basedau et al, 2014;Duffy & Toft, 2007;Hirsch-hoefler et al, 2016). For example, religious identity has been found to encourage armed conflict if the identity happens to overlap with ethnic identity (Basedau et al, 2014(Basedau et al, , 2011.…”

“…A meta-analysis by also discovered that politicized identity has a stronger influence (effect size value) than non-politicized identity upon collective action. On the other hand, the role of religious identity can explain a lot of radical collective action and violence (Basedau, Strüver, Vüllers, & Wegenast, 2011;Duffy & Toft, 2007;Hirsch-hoefler, Canetti, & Eiran, 2016). Religious identity is also manifested as either normative (peaceful) or nonnormative (violent) collective action depending on the purpose of the action, its positive acceptance, and threats to identity (Phalet, Baysu, & Verkuyten, 2010).…”

This study attempted to explain the factors that lead Muslim student activists to participate in Palestinian solidarity actions by testing the Social Identity Model Collective Action model (SIMCA, van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008). A survey of 303 student members/administrators of Islamic organizations was conducted. The sample was obtained from more than seven Islamic-based student organizations. Collective solidarity actions were comprised of peaceful actions such as demonstrations, protests, and petition signings. The model involved two identities (politicized and religious) and two mediators (group efficacy and group-based anger). Results of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis suggest that politicized identity, as indicated by strength of participants' affiliations with Islamic movement organizations, predicts solidarity action intention more effectively than religious identity. Other study findings demonstrated that group efficacy is a significant partial mediator of the interaction between politicized and religious identities, and collective action. Religious identity has a stronger interaction with collective action than politicized identity within the partial mediating effect of group efficacy. Meanwhile group-based anger does not influence the desire to engage in collective action either directly or as a mediator. Aksi solidaritas Palestina: Dinamika Pola Identitas Terpolitisasi dan Keagamaan pada Aktivis Mahasiswa AbstrakPenelitian ini berusaha menjelaskan faktor yang menyebabkan aktivis mahasiswa muslim ingin mengikuti aksi solidaritas Palestina melalui pengujian model Social Identity Model Collective Action (SIMCA, van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008). Kami melakukan survei terhadap 303 mahasiswa anggota/pengurus organisasi Islam. Sampel berasal dari lebih tujuh organisasi mahasiswa berbasis agama Islam. Aksi kolektif solidaritas meliputi aksi damai seperti demonstrasi, protes, dan tanda tangan petisi. Model yang dianalisis melibatkan dua identitas (terpolitisasi dan keagamaan) dan dua mediator (efikasi kelompok dan marah berbasis kelompok). Hasil analisis Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) menemukan identitas terpolitisasi yang ditunjukkan dengan kekuatan afiliasi partisipan terhadap organisasi pergerakan Islam, ditemukan lebih memprediksi intensi aksi solidaritas daripada identitas keagamaan. Temuan lain menunjukkan bahwa efikasi kelompok signifikan menjadi mediator parsial dari interaksi antara identitas terpolitisasi dan identitas keagamaan terhadap aksi kolektif. Identitas keagamaan memiliki interaksi yang lebih kuat daripada identitas terpolitisasi pada aksi kolektif melalui efek parsial mederasi dari efikasi kelompok. Sementara emosi marah berbasis kelompok tidak memengaruhi keinginan terlibat pada aksi kolektif secara langsung maupun sebagai mediator.

“…Sivan Hirsch-Hoefler, Daphna Canetti and Ehud Eiran (2016) highlighted the crucial role of social networks in translating religious identity to violent actions. Although the impact of online participatory culture on real-life extremism has not been demonstrated, crowdsourced imaginaries of IS supporters displayed propensity to glorify violence.…”

Crowdsourcing Terrorism: Utopia, Martyrdom and Citizenship Reimagined

The role of social media in aiding terrorist attacks worldwide has been widely discussed among counterterrorism officials and academics. Since 2014, the idea of ‘crowdsourced terrorism’, whereby the Islamic State (IS) outsourced the conduct of attacks to their followers and attempted to attract them to Syria, has been popularly used by Western policymakers. This article critically examines the phenomenon of crowdsourcing and the IS’s online appeal in the case of Indonesia. The participant–curator crowdsourcing model outlined by Laurie Philips and Daren Brabham explains the online appeal of the IS, with social media facilitating the IS’s establishment of the relationship with Internet users in faraway countries such as Indonesia and allowing them to participate in the making of the IS brand. Participatory culture therefore encourages an e-supporter’s faith in the importance of their individual contribution and social connection that transcend offline realities in areas such as citizenship. IS opinion leaders work alongside online supporters to craft the meaning of martyrdom and imagination of citizenship through social media posts about life in the Caliphate. The land of Syria is imagined simultaneously as paradise for those who take their faith seriously as well as the venue for the Islamic equivalent of Armageddon. Hijrah (jihad by emigration) to Syria and martyrdom are represented as obligatory in the quest for equalization of power and freedom from slavery of those who are against the establishment of the Caliphate. Crowdsourced imaginations of the IS have had implications in several areas of policymaking. The article will discuss the implications of online imaginaries on IS’s approaches to militancy in its operations, Indonesian decision makers’ debate to revoke the citizenship of those who had travelled to IS and for the Indonesian military in its quest for expansion of their role in counterterror operations.
