Religious extremism refers to the belief in strict and radical interpretations of a religion, often leading to actions that can harm others. Individuals or groups may feel that their religious views are superior and may resort to violence or discrimination against those who hold different beliefs. This can create tension and conflict within societies, as extremists may seek to impose their views on others. Many times, religious extremism is fueled by a desire for power or control, using religious texts to justify harmful actions. It can affect various faiths, including Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, leading to a cycle of violence and misunderstanding among different communities.
