ABSTRACT

The spread of radical ideas that led to acts of terrorism is still a big problem in Indonesia. One group that is still the focus of discussion is the JamaahAnsharutDaulah (JAD). Although it has been frozen, this terrorist group allegedly evolved and changed. These changes require a communication process to complete the entire organization that can run under the vision and mission, such as the process of indoctrination, transportation, and efforts to transport organizational integrity. This research seeks to improve the communication patterns of JAD security groups in achieving the above. By using the theory of communication patterns in communication studies, this research discusses the communication patterns of JAD advocacy groups. This research uses descriptive qualitative data using the interview as the collection data method. The results showed that communication that occurred in JAD consisted of several patterns, namely communication patterns in the form of wheels, chains, stars, and umbrellas. Communication is carried out closed to close the message infiltration from outside parties. Besides, as an organization affiliated with ISIS, JAD ideological communication is carried out through social media and Indonesian communication carried out or coming from Syria. The communication of ideology in JAD is still growing by utilizing daily communication and existing communication technology.
