I'm not an extremist, you know.

There are a certain number of extreme behaviours led by fundamentalists who are using their religion for political ends and use extremist techniques.

I've been called an extremist.

Whenever you have a crisis, you're always going to have the extremists taking advantage of the situation.

Our ideals are under the constant threat of extremism, whether in the form of radical Muslim groups or the emergence of other elements seeking to deny the rights and freedoms of others.

Extremism can flourish only in an environment where basic governmental social responsibility for the welfare of the people is neglected. Political dictatorship and social hopelessness create the desperation that fuels religious extremism.

A lot of Christian extremism has done a great deal to discredit religion; the main religious traditions have abandoned their own intellectual cultures so drastically that no one has any sense of it other than the fringe.

Let's face it: There are people who are extremists in every corner of society, and whatever flag they're waving is something Bad Religion has stood against.

In any society, there will be the whole spectrum of views. You will get the extremists on the far right and also the far left.
