What is extremism?
Extremist are often compared with terrorists, but extremists are not all violent.
Been a extremist gives you the benefit of been apart of something and have a purpose. Know who you are.
A muslim extremist means that summition is peace. So if he summit himself to God, God will brig him peace. Been a muslim extremist can be difficult when living in not-islamic countries. Learning wants is right and wrong since you was a kid and then see most of the other doing the exact opposite. It can make them very angry just like the terrorists.
A born and rised nationalist is often rascist without knowning. They reads about all the violent and terrible stories about muslims and assume that all muslim are terrorists.
The only way we can bring peace between the two types is to talk and understand each other.
