chosen: There are extremists in all religions, including Islam. Extremist beliefs often arise in times of conflict or uncertainty, when people are more prone to interpretive religious texts in a extreme way. Extremists take the core teachings of a religion and use them to justify harsh and punishing views on those that differ in opinion or do not adhere to their interpretations of the faith. Additionally, due to the wide diversity and multiple interpretive points of view within Islam, opportunities have arisen for extremist movements to thrive by taking a strict and literal stance on religious texts that condone intolerance and violence. Furthermore, lack of education and socioeconomic inequality throughout many Muslim majority countries can fuel radical and extremist viewpoints.
