Preliminary
The phenomenon of radicalism in Indonesia to be an interesting issue to be taken seriously. The issue of radicalism in Indonesia can often be found at berabagai reviews in various media. Ranging from religious radicalism to be social. Radicalism of course at some particular degree can lead to an instability and social security, so that ultimately the question of radicalism is to be completed within the realm of defense and security.
Why is there radicalism?
Above questions is an important question in the answer before explaining the link between radicalism and the threat to the integrity and security of the country. Radicalism is the result of a process of marginalization and inequality that exist in society. Poverty for example, is one issue that also fosters radicalism movements.

The government can legally claim that Indonesia continues to experience a good economic growth. Bank Indonesia estimates that Indonesia experienced economic growth of 5.5 to 6% is in fact merely an idea of economic growth is quantitatively not qualitatively touch. In fact, the unemployment rate remains high, including the amount to 9.43 million people. Although the government claims that the unemployment rate decreased repetition, but after the study, informal sector and the community turned out to be the best sector to absorb labor. So the significance of the role of government in reducing unemployment is clearly visible.
The next issue is the implementation of democracy is no longer grounded in the national identity as a nation that likes deliberation. Local elections such as a greater emphasis on the aspect of quantity or a majority vote rather than using the principle of consensus. Thus, the voice becomes the voice of marginalized minorities. Coupled with the problems of majority rule without the rule of law. Head chosen because it is a majority vote of a crime suspect. This triggers the minority community to voice his voice in a way that is not orderly.
Against the danger of radicalism and National Security
Continued high levels of poverty pose a problem to the existence of the poor. So easy for them from slipping into a variety of adverse actions and melanggara law. Motorbike Gang for example, up to the forums to violent groups just to show an existence.
When it does, and lower levels of society gathered in a specific group and tend to perform an action that anarchists, it is very difficult for authorities to control the anarchic activities carried out by these groups. Surely this anarchy become a threat to stability and national security.

At least there are some events that radicalism and anarchism mass media spotlight in recent months; events in the mass anarchism Ampera (in front of the South Jakarta District Court), and the violence in Jakarta will be undertaken radical groups such as community organizations such as FPI and FBR. In 2007, there were 10 acts of violence by the FPI. 2008 there were eight acts of violence by the FPI and FBR. In 2009, there were 40 action by the FPI, FBR and the Betawi Youth Front and the year 2010 there were 49 action by the FPI. The large number of violent anarchism is an indicator of why a potential threat to national security.
Solutions and Closures
Mapping of the range of problems we can conclude that in general, a problem that occurs is the marginalization of certain groups within the context of economic, social, legal and political.
Marginalization problem is closely related to the issue of 'access', meaning that there are problems of limited access in public later restricting certain groups to participate in the dynamics of economic, social, legal and political. Therefore, the primary solution should be emphasized by the government is reducing the form of limited access to economic, social, legal and political.
Access limitations can be overcome for example by increasing the number of jobs, improve the quantity and quality of social facilities as a means of actualizing the community, improve the fairness of legal services and improve accountability and articulation of political channels available.
As a concluding note, the rampant growth of the movement and radical groups in Indonesia are also influenced by the kind of 'omission' of the state apparatus so that the impression that their existence is socially normal. Is something wrong if the state officials, especially law enforcement officials distanced themselves from the activities of radical groups for fear of being branded as violators of democracy and freedom of association. Conversely, every law enforcement officials should be able to act decisively in cracking down on radical groups in accordance with applicable laws corridor because after all, in democracy and freedom of association in Indonesia is currently subject to the rule of law that is not infiltrated by anarchism and violence.
