I've actually read that article. As noted, it was 2 years ago. At that time, feeling was high and the different right wing extremist where pretty much given a free hand by the government. This is because Megawati feared of isolating the people. In another word, it was politicall decision. The the Bali bombing happen, then approximately a week later, the hilton bombing. Due to these two incidents, many started to call for a crack down on the different organizations that were blatantly violating the law. The pressure was intense and the Laskar Jihad disbanded after feeling the pressure. Even within the radicals, many voiced the disapproval of the bombing and started to walk away from the organizations.
