“…Some claim that Indonesia was slow to enter the War on Terror but that this cannot be explained by the influence of Islamist groups on the government (Sebastian 2003). While fear of offending mainstream Muslims by associating Islam with terrorism may have played some role, others suggest that Megawati was under pressure to follow the example of President Musharraf of Pakistan who "extracted financial benefits in return for his support for the American attack on Afghanistan" (Hafidz 2003: 388).…”

__Public Administration is a branch of Social Science disciplines taught at universities in Indonesia. Indonesia is a country that is predominantly Muslim. However, the education system faces problems of secularization that is split between education and religion.

The results of the study, to several libraries of the universities in Indonesia showed that the administration public textbooks available to students mostly from the Western textbooks than Islamic textbooks, that it has generated a lot of administrative problems in Indonesia; while the textbooks approach puts Islamic worldview and religion as a source of knowledge, to achieve happiness in the world and life hereafter inwardly and outwardly very little available.

Muslims in Indonesia, with extension to Southeast Asia are moderate and known as Muslim smiling faces. However, being the largest Muslim populated nation across the Muslim world, Indonesia has been alleged as hotbed of terrorist in Southeast Asia barely after the September 11 tragedy. Indonesia became the most fragile target of the terrorist attack in the form of bomb explosions. Since Bali bombing in 2002, Indonesian government has been facing the terror from so-called "Jama'ah Islamiyah (JI)" which has been associated as Southeast Asia regional network of al-Qaeda, an international terrorist organization based in Afghanistan. As such, this paper attempts to analyze Islamic threat in Indonesia where a terrorist group known JI is allegedly growing. Using an analytical approach of certain media, this paper finds that Islamic threat has been in the form of alarming account, and too much politicized in the expense of Islamist groups. This paper also provides some interpretation of JI and the myth of Islamic threat which is associated with it in Southeast Asia.
