JAS considers the accusation of being a terrorist organization to be based solely on one-sided stigmatization or negative assumptions about JAS as one of the civil society organizations guaranteed by the law, which has actively contributed to helping the state advance Indonesian society.
Ansharu Syariah (AS) emphasizes that JAS is not a terrorist organization and rejects being categorized as one because JAS rejects all forms of terrorism, whether carried out by individuals, groups, or even terrorism perpetrated by any state in the world. For JAS, terrorism is an act prohibited by both religion and the country's laws.
