Extremist
AN EXTREMIST IS SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS AN IDEA, CAUSE, OR SET OF VALUES SO ADAMANTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE THAT SAID PERSON WILL USE THEIR IDEAS TO JUSTIFY ANYTHING THEY DO. This term can be applied to ANYONE regardless of factors as universal as;ETHNICITY(African, Caucasian, Hispanic, Arabic, Southeast Asian etc)GENDER/ORIENTATION(Male, Female, transgendered, homosexual, heterosexual,bisexual,)RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION(or lack thereof)(Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism etc)OCCUPATION!!!(Teacher, politician, musician, clergman/woman, soldier etc)...Or as regional (BECAUSE SOME OF US DON"T PRESCRIBE TO THIS) as;POLITICAL PARTY MEMBERSHIP(Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Conservative, etc)POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY(Communism, Socialism, Anarchism, Nationalism, etc)SELF-PRESCRIBED CULTURAL IDENTITY(Punk, Gangsta, Hippie, Goth, etc)all because extremism does not discriminate, although its practitioners do. Also, please note that few extreme individuals who possess a thorough understanding of the term and its implications actually CHOOSE to describe themselves as "extremists". The truth of the matter is that EXTREMISTS ARE BY DEFINITION ALMOST ENTIRELY IMMERSED IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL AND/OR SHARED SENSE OF SUPERIORITY. THEREFORE THEY TYPICALLY CONVINCE THEMSELVES THAT THEIR PARTICULAR STRAIN OF EXTREMISM IS NOT "EXTREME". IN THE WARPED MIND OF THE EXTREMIST, EXTREMISM IS THE ONLY RATIONAL COURSE!

Although these examples are commonly known, I have included them because their connotations with extremism are obvious:
Adolf Hitler
( because in his mind any act that furthered his plans for world domination was justified)
Osama Bin Laden
( because in his minds any act that aids the cause of Islam is justified)
George W. Bush
( because in his mind any act that aids the advancement of his political agenda is justified)
Listing ALL extremists is impossible, so I had better desist from doing so, lest I die of starvation at my keyboard for being EXTREMELY stubborn.

Catch my drift?

Muslim Extremist
Commonly known as a terrorist or insurgent. A follower of the most adamant faiths of radical and fundamentalist Islam, of whose beliefs and actions may interfere with and occasionally threaten the lives and lifestyles of others who share opposing views on religion and lifestyle.

The shared goal of Muslim Extremists are to put 'church' over 'state'. In this case to put their 'church' over everyone else's 'church',because they believe that their god can kick your god's ass.
Currently the second highest threat to any Democratic society, the first being the apathetic non-voting Democratic society itself.

The common profile for a muslim extremist fits that of the college age male of african, middle eastern, and caucasion descent. Often do not shave any facial nor are they ever bald because hairlessness is godlessness. If they are bald, we assume they have leukemia or are neo-nazis.

Muslim Extremists frequently are associated with black listed terror cells such as Al-Qaeda, The Black Panthers, Hezbollah, and the PLO. Mainly located in very large cities, where they are inevetibly harder to track.

See: groups of people most commonly killed by United States Marines.

Me: "Osama is a popular Muslim Extremist; he intends to not only seek revenge on America but he intends to eradicate all other religions and non-islamic forms of government." No shit...

Christian Extremist
Usually a Christian loser from a small town in somewhere like Texas or Florida in the United States, or someone from Northern Ireland, who is dumb enough to read the Bible literally and act upon it. These people are so full of shit that they could make a toilet jealous and are the exact reason why abortion is still legal. They will kill, rape, and encourage others to do the same in the name of God. They are the natural outcrop of a belief in Christianity or the Bible.

The Bible okays some absolutely horrendous things. It approves of slavery (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT, Exodus 21:2-6 NLT, Ephesians 6:5 NLT), ritual human sacrifice (Exodus 13:2, Leviticus 27:28-29), murder and rape (Judges 21:10-24 NLT, Numbers 31:7-18 NLT, Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT), and that fire breathing dragons actually exist (Job 41:1-34 NAS).

Couple that with the fact that religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. Some of that evil is done by Christian Extremists, who will always exist as long as Christianity exists. A true Christian is someone who turns their head, says nothing, and refuses to see that their belief in Christianity causes some of the world’s worst atrocities.

A Christian Extremist is retarded enough to believe that the earth was made by God (creationists or intelligent designers), ignorant to the point where they want their own religion intermingled in school (like giving the government the power to control your religion is ever a good idea), or killing others in the name of God (who specifically said, Thou Shall Not Kill). The best part of these people ran down their mother's leg.
