The South East Asian Muslims are easy prey for all these radicals, who twist verdicts and interpretations to create their own momentum..

A kindergarten in Indonesia's East Java province has come under fire for dressing children in burkas and having them carry fake assault rifles for a local Independence Day parade.
The pre-schoolers from the TK Kartika — a kindergarten located in an Indonesian military housing complex in Probolinggo — marched on the streets as part of the festivities.
Indonesia celebrated its 73rd Independence anniversary on Friday, marking the end of colonial rule with parades and displays of the national flag.
But over the weekend, footage of the children walking down a street during the celebrations wearing burkas and carrying what appeared to be cardboard cut-outs of AK47 rifles went viral across the country.
In a local press conference on Saturday, the head of the school Yuliana Tungga Dewi apologised for the incident, according to a report from CNN Indonesia.
"We didn't mean any harm, nor did we have the intention to instil any sense of aggression in the children," she said.
Speaking to the local Indonesian media outlet Detik, Indonesia's Minister for Education and Culture Muhajir Effendy said he did not see anything wrong with the kindergarten's actions.
He said it was clear the school did not intend to radicalise its students.
"It's simply a coincidence, and I can't imagine that it could be the implication," he said.
On Sunday, he announced his department would allocate 25 million Rupiah ($AU2,346) in additional funding to the school, which he said was necessary for operational costs and to help disadvantaged families enrol their children.
Analysts say there has been a shift away from religious pluralism in Indonesia in the past couple years, particularly following the imprisonment of Jakarta's former minority Chinese-Christian governor Ahok, who was found guilty of blasphemy last year.
