The term has been popularised in is leading to the middle-easternisation of militant Islamic politics in South East Asia. That is not my view. It is the considered view of the world's leading analysts of Islamist terrorist organisations in South East Asia." The background to this view is the spead of militant Islamist groups such as Jemaah Islamiyah in the region, culminating in the 2002 Bali Terrorist Bombing . Indonesian Islamists frequently link western countries such as the United States and Australia with what they call the " Zionist occupation of Palestine ." Indonesia has until recently been seen as a stronghold of "moderate Islam." The influence of Middle East events on Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, was seen more clearly when Indonesia voted in its first-even free and direct Presidential Election In 2004 .
