Indonesia executes petty drug offenders, but potential trained terrorists who have the capability to massacre hundreds walk free.
The Indonesian government is nonsense.

It is no part of their human rights if people leave their country to join the foreign IS movement.
When they return to their home country for whatever reason, they form a latent threat to our society.
It is justified to protect our safety to withdraw their passports and identity cards and issue
special marked cards for those individuals.

Why, oh why, is Indonesia the only country in the world not concerned with the return of IS jihadists?
Is there some secret sauce or sambal they are administering?
If yes, then please patent it and sell it to the world ' they are all waiting ' and the national debt will be cleared immediately.

On the concerns over IS supporters, I just want to quote a saying known in the West that 'Terror is the power of the powerless.'
There will be no terror by Russia on Turkey. If Russia just drops or sends an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) topped with a 200 megaton nuclear warhead, then the culture of Turkey will vanish forever.
In the 1960s when I was in the USSR (today Russia is just one part of the above, but the land area is still twice that of the US), they already had a 100 megaton nuclear warhead and they said the same, but about France.
And Russia is not the only country that has such a powerful warhead. So I'm sure there will be no World War III, just the end of the world.

Concerns over return of IS supporters
Security authorities have played down potential security threats surrounding the return of more than 140 Indonesians from war-torn Syria, home to the Islamic State (IS) movement. According to the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT), the returnees will undergo thorough screening before being allowed back into society. What do you think?
