Abstract

Indonesia is facing a novel challenge in dealing with the life of former militants or ex-terrorists who have been released from their imprisonment of terror acts. Since the year 2000 until September 2015, 501 terror convicts released from the charges and 328 still in prison. Then, there are hundreds of Indonesian who were the ISIS sympathizers are about to come home from Syria and Iraq. This research is aiming to serve as one of the consideration for the government to recruit ex-terrorists or ex-combatant as an alternative for deradicalization program. Ali Fauzi conducted deradicalization through ‘Peace Culture’ and established a foundation for ex-terrorist and ex-combatant known as Yayasan Lingkar Perdamaian (YLP). He fostered around 96 ex-terrorists and ex-combatants. He helped them with the method of deradicalizing "Peace Culture" through face-to-face dialogue, providing communities for them and imparting digitalization to channel the millennials in their understanding of peaceful Islam
