Extremism, i believe, is the over-acting and over re-acting of people whose loyalties lie with specific religious orders. Extremism is also characterized by religious intolerance, indifference, and constant scrutiny of other people who do not share the same beliefs and sentiments... It is believing in the idea that all others are heathens and sinful... it is the belief that the only way to salvation is to accept the promoted religion. Extremism is a result of narrow ways of thinking... not being able to look at both sides. Extremism is the excessive enmeshment of an individual with a religious belief or ideal that causes him or her to overlook things and to shun other beliefs and practices that do not come into terms with his or her own.
