The JAD's shift to Rumah Qurans: implications for security and strategy

Abstract

The Jama’ah Anshorud Daulah’s shift in its education model from the pesantren to the Rumah Quran presents a challenge for counterterrorism efforts. While many Rumah Qurans offer invaluable Quranic education and serve their communities positively, others have been exploited by extremists to further radical agendas. Addressing this challenge requires a nuanced and balanced approach to ensure that security measures do not undermine the positive roles of many RQs.
