‘Mosques, schools breed terror’ – The Times of India

Muslim extremists in Southeast Asia are “sowing the seeds of terror” by financially backing mosques and schools supporting their radical brand of Islam, a report prepared by the US State Department has found.

According to a report in The News , the report, which was released earlier this week, said that the Muslims in Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia “are vulnerable to such radical influences.”

Many governments in Southeast Asia have blamed radical teachings in Muslim schools, most of which operated outside the ambit of the government, for fanning armed militant struggles or fuelling terrorism.
