Abstract
Terrorism is a significant issue in national and global security. Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York, USA, the fight against terrorism has continued to this day. Resistance to terrorists has also changed the stereotype of Muslims, which affects Indonesia's reputation as the largest Muslim country in the world. The Bali I bombing attacks in 2002 by Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) terrorism group reconstructed its identity as Islam Moderate and Indonesia's foreign policy. The method used is the literature study method. Literature study is all efforts made by researchers to collect various information relevant to the topic or problem that will be studied. Through the identity, Indonesia can convince the western countries that Indonesia is worth reflecting true Islam and space to involve in the international political stage. As a pioneer of the Non-Aligned Movement and track record in the region, Indonesia trusted to be a role model for the Islamic world, especially the Middle East, that Islam and democracy are compatible. Through this, Indonesia seed as a strategic country to build international cooperation against radicalism and terrorism, which still becomes a global challenge presently.

Summary
Islam has become the majority for the people to believe. Based on Pew Research Center (2020) data, Indonesia's number of Muslim people is over 299 million and has become the largest Muslim population worldwide. Indonesia is not an Islamic country (see Figure 1). Indonesia is a democratic state, and Pancasila is the fundamental ideology of the state since the Soekarno administration was Indonesia's first president, the free and active politics principle proposed by Muhammad Hatta as first Vice President (Latif, 2018). It still applies to any Indonesian foreign policy in international politics. The free and determined principle means that Indonesia can determine its foreign policy direction, including global terrorism issues. In addressing the challenging situation, Indonesia needs to reframe its identity as the new image in the global political system (Gurtner, 2004)
