Religious extremism refers to the belief in and promotion of radical interpretations of religious doctrines, often leading to intolerance and violence against those with differing beliefs. Extremists may view their faith as the only truth, justifying harmful actions in the name of their religion. This phenomenon can occur in various religions, including Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. Such extremism can manifest in different ways, including terrorism, hate crimes, and discrimination. It often arises from a combination of factors, including political, social, and economic grievances. Addressing religious extremism requires understanding its root causes and promoting dialogue and tolerance among diverse communities.
