ISIL is contained.

ISIS is worldwide.

From what I've read, Shiites are a minority, approximately 1 million out of 200 + million of those that identify as Muslim in Indonesia. I suppose one could write it off as internecine warfare between factions of Mad Mo.

Wikipedia says:

In general, Muslims in Indonesia can be categorised in terms of two orientations: "modernists" who closely adhere to orthodox theology while embracing modern learning, and "traditionalists," who tend to follow the interpretations of local religious leaders and religious teachers at Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

Is it the hardliners versus the "moderate" Muslims or is that too simplistic?
