We must not forget that extremism and radicalization cannot be countered through kinetic – read security – measures alone.
some one can define underlined words, and also can help me to locate the sources of interpretation of underlined words.
 
Please provide the source and author of your quote.

There are a lot of underlined words in your post. You need to edit your post so that only the words you're confused by are underlined. While you're editing, you need to change the actual question so that it starts with "Can someone" and ends with a question mark.

It means just what I thought it meant from the beginning. For some reason they use kinetic to mean security (which is explained in the sentence itself. In other words, security measures are not enough. More is needed.
 
I normally see the added note "read security" to qualify a preceding word in brackets rather than set off with dashes.

It's military jargon.

They're saying you can't fight extremism only by killing extremists.

We must not forget that extremism and radicalization cannot be countered through "kinetic – read security – measures alone". I thik in this sentence the words "kinetic" and "read" are not useful in structure of sentence. We can write this above sentence in this form also"We must not forget that extremism and radicalization cannot be countered through " security measures alone".?

I guess you didn't like my answer.

Anyhow, you overdid it with the underlining.

You need to work on your punctuation.
