ISIS AND ITS RECRUITS FROM WESTERN ALLY COUNTRIES FROM EVEN THE LIKES OF SINGAPORE MEANS THESE COUNTRIES MUST BE VIGILANT IN PREVENTING RADICALIZATION OF ITS YOUTH FROM THE BRAINWASH EFFECTS OF ITS RADICAL MUSLIM MESSAGE

A 19-year-old Singaporean has been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for terrorism-related activities since April 2015. He had also made plans to join the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). 

Another Singaporean, aged 17, was arrested in May 2015 under the ISA for further investigations into the extent of his radicalisation, the Ministry of Home Affairs said on Wednesday (May 27). The latest revelations were greeted with shock and dismay by both Muslim and non-Muslim leaders.
With the threat looming large, The Straits Times examines the impact ISIS has had on Singapore and the rest of South-east Asia, and what the authorities are doing to counter the spread of radicalism as these militants attempt to gain a foothold in the region. 

Muslims here were today reminded that they play a crucial role in keeping family members and the young on the right path, so that they can reject any form of deviant or radical ideas, especially those that support terrorism and are not in line with Islamic teachings.

"If we are unable to advise or guide them, we must refer them to those who are capable in tackling this," said a Friday sermon prepared by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis).
