Extremism

When something is surplus or superabundant than its usual limit it converts to the opposite. From this definition, the term extremism pops up to the surface. It's something much more than the usual. It's usually a situation of great danger or disaster, and here, I am referring to beliefs. Extremism in beliefs is the most dangerous one. It is far than the usual reason and further than is thought to be reasonable. Opinions can be expressed without going to extremes.

I have been living here in Saudi Arabia with many different people. They come from different parts of the world to work here in this biggest exporting country for oil. They have different nationalities, religions, beliefs, cultures. We eat together and work together. We argue, debate, and discuss our various perspectives concerning any subject in a modern manner. Our voices sometimes raised during those discussions but the matter did not need to use our hands or use any kind of violence.

Ten or twenty years ago, this phenomenon was not like now. The holding of views that are so far from being moderate as possible leads to undesired feelings. Extremism in beliefs as I mentioned before, is the most dangerous one. To make a point, some of them use their hands, their guns or even heavy weapons. Most of our problems nowadays come from extremism.

If we talk about political extremism, our talk will expand. We have endured extremities of suffering from them. Two-thirds of the causes of conflicts or wars are because of extremism. I cannot say it's a phenomenon. It's a real disease. We need efforts to get rid of it. Efforts of individuals, organizations, companies, governments, countries and even the help of the united nations. Cooperation, understanding, giving the area for the other to express his or her idea. Or maybe the matter is more than that! People who are specialists and experts in this field can help and give their guidance or help and till then, the phenomenon of extremism will still be there.

  • If you wanna live in peace you have to look inside yourself without thinking about others actions. And now you are one of the extremest against extremism. We have to do what's enough for us and stop putting our noses in others issues. Everyone can be what he/she want, if you wanna be extremest the door is open and if you have ideas about other groups or communities kepp it yorself and don't disturb others.

  • Oh khudai! Doste mei! Many important points that you have raised. The world knows about the weapon of mass destruction in Irag. I don't know about the people who were killed in the mine / eleven incident in America. I know that thousands of people were killed. Do you think it was because of oil? What about the solar energy? Isn"t it going to be as a substitute for oil? There are many important and interesting points. Let's see what other readers have to say about them. Thanks, Mohammed for your comment!
  • @rysperski: all the political problems and bloodshed in the middle East is because of USA.

    USA created TALIBAN & Al-Qaeda Terrorists in Afghanistan to fight with Soviet Union!

    USA Started the war in Afghanistan and caused the mess there.

    USA Started the war in Iraq and caused ISIS and cause the bloodshed there.

    USA's CIA trained ISIS in Jordan and her lovely allies like Saudi Arabia and Qatar are still Supporting them!

    USA has killed thousands of innocent people in Pakistan via Drones!

    Turkey opened her borders to European Terrorists to pass to Syria, Cause NATO and HER Big Boss, the USA ordered her to do so.

    USA & Saudi Regime supported the coup in Egypt and caused hundreds of Death and Unjust Executions there.

    KSA (SAUDI ARABIA) had attacked the Yemen and has killed thousands of innocent children and women there! and the only response the world has is Silence!

    and This is the most horrible joke of our time, when a Regime which had no elections in 200 years supports the Terrorists against Syria in the name of Democracy!

    Attention: None of these websites and sources are Iranian or pro-Iranian or even Muslim.

    So you be judge!

  • قال رسول الله    لا يؤمن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب اليه من نفسه وولده ووالديه

    when defending the Prophet (S) against caricatures  all muslims were accused of extremism  and against of freedom of expressing

    but anyone in Europe can express that haulocost was a lie!  no, he will be guilty of negationism

    when a band of terrorists and zionist have more worth than a Prophet sent as a mercy for all creatures, i m the first extremist  in word and act

    when people of prophet Lott were destroyed  for homosexuality , and we muslims   see   homosexual wedding and we laugh  for it

    what can we wait from Allah?  a war that burns  dry and wet!

    can you express your opinion against homosexuality in USA?

    you will be accused of homophobea

    who are the most extremist?

    don t wait Doomsday to know  who is wrong or right?  then no faith is useful

  • Oi there,

      Why stick only to the usa and turn a blind eye to iraq, syria, egypt, afghanistan, pakistan or turkey?

  • Khaili mumnoon Bahman! I had to come back after prayer to the lecture but once I get home, I shall review it. Thanks for your complimentary words! Hey Bahman, we are missing your videos. 

  • My Pleasure Dear Friend! 

    Extremism exists in most religions & politics but nowadays people put an equal between Islam and Extremism.

    According to the FBI, 94 percent of terrorist attacks in the United States since 1980 were perpetrated by non-Muslims.

    Muslims are blamed every time a terrorist attack is carried out anywhere around the world. Ever since the 9/11 attacks on American soil, the meaning of terrorism has been directly associated with Muslims and Islam.

    This is a Media War against Muslims!

    And some Questions come up!

    Question: How many American people have been killed in 9/11?
    Answer: 2,996 people killed and more than 6,000 others wounded.

    Question: How many Muslim people have been killed On the pretext of 9/11 and Iraq's WMDs?
    Answer: Millions Killed, Millions wounded and hundreds of thousands Displaced!

    The Americans Lied the world about 9/11 and lied about Saddam Hussein's WMDs.

    They killed millions of innocent people in Iraq & Afghanistan for no good Reasons!

    Did you know that more then 70% of world's oil resources are in the hands of Muslims?!

    Did you know that Iraq has oil resources sufficient for at least 500 years?!

    Have you got the Answer! It's Oil. the only Reason for massacring Millions of innocent people in the ME. 

    So who is the Terrorist?! USA or Muslims?

    These are Terrorist States but no one consider them as terrorists!

    You know why? cause they've forced people's mind to imagine a Terrorist as a "Muslim man with Long Beards and dressed Arabic Clothes".

    Just a little think about it!
