Extremists are individuals or groups that hold radical views and beliefs, often advocating for significant changes in society or government. They may reject mainstream values and can be found in various ideologies, including political, religious, or social movements. Extremism can lead to actions that are considered violent or harmful, as these individuals may believe that their cause justifies such behavior. Extremism can manifest in different forms, such as political extremism, religious extremism, or eco-terrorism. While not all extremists engage in violence, their beliefs can create divisions within society and lead to conflicts. Understanding the motivations and backgrounds of extremists is essential for addressing the issues they raise.
