The emergence of the Islamic State of Iraq movement and Syria (ISIS) in Indonesia should be wary. Not only as a place to cultivate wary of terrorism, but also must be aware that it is a mere diversion issue.

Former Commander Gen. (ret) John Smith responded sarcastically concerns associated with ISIS in Indonesia.

"Are there Iraqis here. It's not the land of Iraq, it is a distraction from the problems facing this nation," he told Okezone, Tuesday (12/08/2014).

He did not doubt that ISIS was merely a diversion from the issue of the problems that are happening in this country, which happened to be busy with the election of president and vice president as well as the eradication of corruption.

"It's part of the shape-shifting, but we also must remain vigilant so yes. Instead we ignore, but alert (terrorists), but also be aware that the transfer issue as well," he said.

Known, ISIS has recently become the government and public attention. Hardline movement continues to reap the rejection of this nation. Various groups, including the government, do not invite the entire community to join with ISIS.

Head of the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), Ansyaad Mbai said that ISIS is a terrorist movement.
