Examining the Ulu Tiram Attack Through the Lens of Collective Action Theory

The Ulu Tiram attack involves the sharing, within the context of family, the collective attitudes of pro-Islamic caliphate ideology inherent in Islamic State (IS) teachings. [...] The book promotes the establishment of pan-Islamism as an alternative to the current secular Malaysian government, which is perceived to be discriminating and corrupt. [...] The frustration from the perceived injustice and the utopian image of an Islamic state likely caused the Luqman family’s animosity toward the incumbent government and its state apparatus. [...] Based on this premise, it is important to understand the typology of incentives provided by IS and the nature of the rewards it provides, and the penalties it enforces. [...] Finally, community-centred policies that benefit and empower people in political and socioeconomic domains would nullify the lure of radical ideologies, strengthening P/CVE efforts in the nation and the region.
