Origin of radicalism

Deepest sympathy for deaths of two young constables in terrorist attack on a police station in Ulu Tiram,Johor.This is an assault on law and order as public security is threatened by violence.Israel agents can buy guns and even a ex husband attack his former wife in the international airport,what are the chances of extremists buying weapons to attack public places.Are we reactive or proactive?it happened when extremist attack public in Lahad Datu so its not against the odds if an attack happens again.we have the Moro Liberation Front, Abu Sayaf,Jemmaah Islamiyah and the Pattani liberation front.How secure are our border patrols or worst when spread of extremist ideology among young Malaydians via social media ends in lone wolf attacks Why doesnt Singapore have shootings at airport or attacks on police station.this is because the govt dont let their guards down in a global financial and tourism centre.Are our public hospitals,court building,immigration centres or lrt stations having good security in public hotspots or waiting for something to happen before taking action like trees falling on public or diners get kidnapped for ransom. Terrorist ideology finds fertile ground in Malaysia .When you have people in power whether hate preachers or political figures espousing hate speech ,the likelihood thats a starting point for inculcation of violence as a response to whatever grievances or unhappiness felt.As Buddha says Mind is the forerunner of all actions.Hate,Incitement for revenge,Anger are likely to see a rise like in violence in football when acid attacks are done on innocent players,mob violence,mob justice like May 13 incident or firebombing of nightclub in Puchong or recent shooting of two young cops in attack on a police station in Johore .Terrorist ideology is not dead in Malaysia but went underground . As seen the masterminds and those who carried out bombing in Bali and Jakarta were not Indonesians only but Malaysians.its when anti terror policing lets its guards down that a terrorist attack is a likelihood after Bangkok and Jakarta bombing. When we see school teachers and school children holding toy machine guns,the education system glorifies violence as do video games like War craft and the end result will be desensitisation to killing and violence.Its in Malaysia that we see a kiss or couple making out being heavily censored but not graphic violence and gore.Come on making out will only result in the making of a new life as the worst scenario but violence result in the taking away of human life.Which is the bigger evil?
