Ali A. Rizvi Gyongwoo I also understand that extremism in any ideology isnt a distortion of that ideology. It is an informed, steadfast adherence to its fundamentals, hence the term fundamentalism. When you think of a left-wing extremist, do you think of a greedy capitalist? Would you imagine a right-wing extremist to be dedicated to government-funded social welfare programs? The extremists and strict followers of the Jain faith, which values the life of every being, including insects, dont kill more than their average co-religionists. Instead, they avoid eating foods stored overnight so as not to kill even the microorganisms that may have collected in the meantime. In a true religion of peace, the extremists would be nonviolent pacifists to an extreme (and perhaps annoying) degree, not the opposite. huffingtonpost/ali-a-rizvi/an-atheist-muslims-perspective-on-the-root-causes-of-islamist-jihadism-and-the-politics-of-islamophobia_b_3159286.html
