indonesia is a largely islamic country, and there's evidence that ISIS is attracting some people from there to join up with them. how likely is it that ISIS uses indonesia's accessibility to bitcoins in order to help fund their operations?

Not likely at all. As for now they don't seem to have much problems with funding.

Every little helps Bitcoin adoption.  But it will have zero effect on the price.

Think it'll have some positive impact, but rather small (in the short-term).

From what I gather their isn't going to a ton of Bitcoin usage from Indoneians who would adopt this service  but that doesn't mean their isn't alot of room for growth in the future and we all know it pays to be the first mover in the cryptology scene.

yes most people in indonesia are muslim
but most of people here don't like ISIS, and most of all fight against them
besides that our country ideology is not same with ISIS
so if some people join ISIS is because they already on the wanted list

It is now a lot easier for Indonesians to buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin.co.id, Indonesia’s rising Bitcoin website, has landed a groundbreaking deal with Indomaret to help Indonesia’s over 238 million residents to fund their Bitcoin.co.id accounts. Indonesians now have access to Bitcoin at more than 10,000 Indomaret convenience stores across Indonesia where they can “top up” Indonesian Rupiah on their Bitcoin.co.id account and then trade for Bitcoin:

I'm from Indonesia,
But I can't buy bitcoin in Indomaret,because Indomaret in my place not avaible bitcoin,
selling bitcoin not evenly at all Indomaret in Indonesia.
Maybe bitcoin avaible in Bali, because there many much International tourist,
And in Bali avaible first ATM bitcoin
