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.

  • Cam on April. It's indeed a global issue. As you mentioned, some people use it for their own purposes. I am hoping for that. Someone, he or she might come up with something. it's agreed that if there is a problem, there will a solution for it. Thanks, April for your helping tips!

  • Good point to solve a global issue. Otherwise I think not all persons who are up to extremism are extremists, they just use them for their own political or economic purposes. Hence the problem becomes out of the control... Still I agree with you about our efforts to get rid of it. It's really a good topic and have many things to talk about.

  • Bahut shukriya saahel! Jihad is for the sake of Allah. It's of different kinds. It is better if we let people know the meaning of Jihad and the difference between the two. If we explain the meaning of extremism and jihad and find some way to get rid of extremism, this will lessen the pressure of relating it to Islam and Jihad. I am expecting you to do this explanation for jihad and if possible extremism. Thanks, for your comment!

  •        Wow.......really these words are in the right time. We badly need such words. Not only to enjoy their rhythm, but also to translate them into real actions. My friend, before I add my voice to yours to gather all the efforts to get rid of extremism, let us first work on the extremism which is inside our own homes which is represented as a differences between boys and girls rights. But, unfortunately, my friend, we badly tide to our traditions.

            Well done my friend, your topic, despite it made a big sigh in my heart, it is a nice meaningful one. God bless you my friend.
