What is emerging in the reports coming out from the Sultan Park bombing incident reveals that some of our youth are getting radicalised in Islam. This is starting at an early age, sometimes in high school. These issues will have to be addressed at its source before they grow big and manifest into lethal action causing harm and destruction. The problem is not with Islam but with twisted interpretations of selected texts to suit a particular thinking.
In the recent past, there were some students in Male's premier high school CHSE who were noted to be acting different from the mainstream. While we have to remain tolerant of diverse views, there is a concern in indoctrinating radical Islam in our every day life making harmonious living impossible because of the religious intolerance and extremism.
To have people in our society who cannot go their to prayers to the mosques for whatever reason and confine themselves to build a cult is not acceptable. If anyone has a grievance or takes issue with the prevailing system compelling them to form their separate groups, their issues will need to be looked into before they get out of hand.
We need to teach our children the principles of good living.

Like I said before, it needs us to stop thinking it will be ok by itself. The government has to actively deal with people who chose to be different in a continuous conversation.
